BRITTANY FORCE Obliterates NHRA Speed Record With Historic 343.16 MPH Run

July 26, 2025

• BRITTANY FORCE just made motorsports history, obliterating every speed record in the books with a mind-melting 343.16 mph run at Sonoma Raceway – the fastest speed ever achieved in motor racing, period. The two-time Top Fuel World Champion didn’t just edge past the old mark, she demolished Doug Kalitta’s track ET record (3.649) and her own track speed record (338.94 mph) from earlier that same day.
• What makes this run even more impressive? FORCE felt the car moving around mid-track and had a split second to lift off the throttle, but instead chose to trust her skills and pin it through the finish. “I thought about taking my foot out of it for a second and then I said, ‘No, I can get it there,'” she explained, showing the kind of fearless decision-making that separates champions from the field.
• This marks the third time this season FORCE has broken her own national speed record, proving this isn’t a fluke but sustained dominance. She’s now broken the 340 mph barrier at four different tracks, cementing her status as the fastest human being on four wheels. With her Monster Energy team firing on all cylinders, we’re witnessing a driver at the absolute peak of her powers redefining what’s possible in drag racing.
