MADDI GORDON makes NHRA history in 340 mph first round loss

November 1, 2026

• MADDI GORDON etches her name in NHRA history as the first driver ever to lose a round while running over 340 mph — a milestone that underscores just how fast she is running.
• Despite the loss to veteran Antron Brown, GORDON’s 340+ mph pass signals she has the raw speed to compete at the very top of Top Fuel competition.
• The tight first-round matchup shows GORDON is no pushover — losing on a pass that would have been a record-worthy run by almost any measure.
