BRITTANY FORCE Sets NHRA History With Record-Breaking 341.85 MPH Pass

July 21, 2025

• BRITTANY FORCE obliterated the NHRA Top Fuel speed record with a jaw-dropping 341.85 mph pass at Seattle’s Northwest Nationals, breaking her own mark from April. She now owns five of the six fastest speeds in Top Fuel history – all achieved in a single dominant season. Her 3.659-second semifinal run against Doug Kalitta missed the elapsed time record by just 0.018 seconds, but the speed milestone cemented her place as the undisputed queen of velocity.
• The partnership with Rick Hendrick and HendrickCars.com has transformed FORCE into a precision machine, with her 0.079-second average reaction time ranking in the top six for the season. She entered Seattle fifth in points, just 227 behind leader Shawn Langdon, setting up a championship run built on consistent excellence. While an engine safety shutdown cost her the final round victory against Langdon, her path to the final showcased the sustained execution that defines championship campaigns.
• Tony Stewart’s high-profile entry into Top Fuel was supposed to create drama, but FORCE has methodically dismantled that narrative. Their New England Nationals final saw her deliver a clinical 3.694-second victory at over 340 mph, reminding everyone who sets the standard. While Stewart chases his footing in the category, FORCE is already defining the era – not just winning races but rewriting the record books with each pass down the strip.
