GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ALEXIS DEJORIA gets the continuity we love to see, staying with JFR for 2026 in the Bandero Premium Tequila Funny Car alongside crew chiefs Mike Neff and Jonnie Lindberg. After wrapping 2025 in 12th with four semifinal appearances, she’s got the foundation and team chemistry to finally convert those deep runs into wins this season.
  • The ghost in the room is BRITTANY FORCE, whose decision to step away and start a family leaves big shoes to fill in Top Fuel. Her 2025 season was nothing short of spectacular—two wins, six No. 1 qualifiers, and multiple NHRA speed records including that jaw-dropping 343.51-mph blast at Indy. Josh Hart inherits her ride with the proven Grubnic-Collins crew chief duo.

UPCOMING:

  • NHRA Gainesville season opener
  • 2026 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series
