BRITTANY FORCE Shatters NHRA Speed Record with Historic 343.16 MPH Run

July 26, 2025

• BRITTANY FORCE just rewrote the NHRA record books with a stunning 343.16 mph run at Sonoma Raceway, shattering her own speed record from just five days earlier. The two-time world champion’s 3.645-second pass in her Monster Energy dragster wasn’t just fast—it was a masterclass in commitment, as she fought through mid-run handling issues and trusted her instincts to stay in the throttle when lesser drivers might have lifted.
• What makes this performance even more impressive? FORCE has now logged seven 340+ mph passes since April, proving this isn’t a fluke but sustained excellence from a team that’s clearly found something special. Her reaction says it all: “I thought about taking my foot out of it for a second and then I said, ‘No, I can get it there.'” That’s the difference between good and legendary—knowing when to risk it all.
• While the speed grab headlines, FORCE remains laser-focused on what actually wins races: elapsed time consistency. Her crew chief David Grubnic and the Monster Energy team have built what she calls their “cleaner, more consistent package,” setting up perfectly for championship run number three. With 54 career No. 1 qualifiers already in the books, FORCE continues proving that women don’t just belong in Top Fuel—we’re redefining what’s possible.
