BRITTANY FORCE Sets Track Record in Final Vegas Appearance, ERICA ENDERS & More

October 31, 2025

• Two-time Top Fuel champion BRITTANY FORCE delivered a thunderous farewell performance at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, obliterating the track record with a blistering 3.697 at 338.85 mph in her final appearance at the Strip. The defending event winner grabbed provisional No. 1 qualifying and the Ted Wiens Trick or Traction Award while eyeing one last shining moment before retirement. With her full-time career down to just two races, Force’s record-setting run proved she’s still the queen of the quarter-mile when it counts.
• In Pro Stock, 10-time Las Vegas winner ERICA ENDERS found herself in familiar territory but facing unexpected competition, sitting third after Friday qualifying with a 6.606 at 208.14. While she’s historically dominated this track, rookie Cory Reed surprised the field by claiming provisional No. 1 with a 6.597, putting pressure on the established stars. Enders acknowledged the challenge ahead, knowing she’ll need to dig deep to maintain her Vegas legacy against an increasingly competitive field.
• Pro Stock Motorcycle’s ANGIE SMITH made her presence felt by securing the second provisional qualifying spot with a solid 6.824 at 198.82 on her Denso Buell. Smith’s consistent performance kept her in contention while the championship battle between Gaige Herrera and Richard Gadson heated up, with Herrera using Friday’s qualifying to close the points gap. Her MSR teammate John Hall also ran strong in third, showing the team’s overall competitive strength heading into Saturday’s final qualifying sessions.
