BRITTANY FORCE Smashes NHRA Speed Record Again With Blistering 343.16 MPH

July 26, 2025

• BRITTANY FORCE just rewrote the physics textbook again, obliterating her week-old NHRA speed record with a mind-bending 343.16 MPH blast at Sonoma Raceway. The two-time Top Fuel champion didn’t just edge past her previous 341.85 MPH mark—she skipped right over 342 and launched into uncharted territory, proving that when you’re already the world’s fastest woman, there’s still room to get faster.
• What makes this even more remarkable? FORCE has added nearly 5 MPH to the speed record since the season started, turning what was already a nearly untouchable 338.94 MPH mark into her personal playground. She’s now made seven runs of 340+ MPH since April alone, essentially redefining what’s possible in Top Fuel and making the impossible look routine in her 12,000-horsepower Monster Energy dragster.
• The numbers tell a story of complete dominance: FORCE has made nine of the 10 fastest runs in Top Fuel history, and her 18 wins tie her with legend Shirley Muldowney for the most in the class. When the car got squirrelly during that record run and she had a split second to lift off the throttle, she made the choice champions make—she stayed in it, trusted her skills, and made history in front of packed Sonoma stands.
