GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • Two-time Top Fuel champion BRITTANY FORCE goes out with a bang at Vegas, setting a new track speed record with her 3.697-second, 338.85 mph blast that earned her the provisional No. 1 spot and a $3,500 bonus. Making her final appearance at The Strip before retirement, Force proved she’s still the one to beat with her sixth top qualifier of the season – because legends don’t fade quietly into the night.
  • In Pro Stock Motorcycle, ANGIE SMITH secured the second qualifying spot with a solid 6.824 at 198.82 mph run on her Buell, showing she belongs in the conversation with the championship contenders. Smith’s consistent performance puts her right in the thick of things as the Countdown to the Championship heats up, proving the women can run with anyone when the pressure’s on.
  • The women’s presence across multiple classes demonstrates the depth of talent we’re seeing in NHRA, with Force dominating Top Fuel while Smith holds her own in the ultra-competitive Pro Stock Motorcycle field. These aren’t token appearances – these are legitimate championship-caliber performances that remind us why women’s racing deserves the spotlight it’s finally starting to receive.

UPCOMING:

  • Saturday Qualifying Sessions – 12 p.m. PT
  • Sunday Final Eliminations – Dodge NHRA Nevada Nationals
