Brittany Force will step out of the seat of her Monster Energy Top Fuel Dragster for the final time at the conclusion of the Nov. 13-16 In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals at her home track In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip to blaze a new personal path with her husband Bobby but the accomplishments she achieved with her John Force Racing team will be etched in the history books.
Here are just some of the statistics: two-time NHRA Top Fuel Champion (2017, 2022); 2013 NHRA Rookie of the Year; 19 event titles, making her the winningest female Top Fuel driver in NHRA history; 21 runner-up finishes; 319 round wins; the elapsed time national record (3.623 seconds); the national record speed (343.51 mph); the first driver in NHRA history to eclipse 340 mph (April 25, 2025); 12 runs at more than 340 mph; reset the national speed record four times in 2025 alone.
She has one more race at Pomona Dragway, where it all began, to add to those already amazing numbers.
Notes
- Force made her Top Fuel debut at the 2013 Winternationals at Pomona, qualifying 15th before losing a first-round match to Brandon Bernstein.
- Force earned her only trip to the winners’ circle at the 2017 NHRA Finals, a win that secured the first of her two series championships.
- In addition to eight No. 1 starts at Pomona in Top Fuel, Force qualified No. 1 in Top Alcohol Dragster at the 2010 Winternationals
John Force Racing drivers have won 34 times at Pomona … 31 times in Funny Car, twice in Top Fuel (Brittany Force, 2017; Austin Prock, 2022) and once in Top Alcohol Dragster (Ashley Force Hood, 2004) … 15 of those wins have come in the Finals
What are your thoughts about the Las Vegas win, making you the winningest female Top Fuel driver ever, now that you’ve had some time to reflect on it?
Our victory in Las Vegas marked my 19th career win, making me the winningest female in Top Fuel history. I’m so proud to share such a monumental win with my team and to have made a little bit of history last weekend. Becoming the winningest female in Top Fuel really makes me reflect on my career and how far I’ve come. 2013 was my rookie season, and to now fast forward to two championshipa and 19 wins is unreal. I’m very thankful for my team, my family, the sponsors, JFR, NHRA and the racing community for making that possible.
You’re now just 48 points behind Langdon for second place so talk about what it would mean to you and your team to achieve that position in the point standings?
My team’s goal has been to finish the 2025 season strong. Winning Las Vegas, our goal was met, but we still have one race left at the final race in Pomona. Our plan remains the same: to qualify in the Top 3 and to turn four win lights on on race day.
What would a win at Pomona, your first home track, mean to you to close out at least the first part of your career?
A win in Pomona would be icing on the cake to an amazing 13-year ride. I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I know I’m leaving the door open to driving in the future. That is a decision ahead of me, once I get there. But finishing with a win at my home track would be incredibly special, and that is exactly what we will be chasing down.
From a competition standpoint, will it be the two championships, the 19 or 20 wins, or the 340+ mph runs that people will remember most about you?
I hope, more than wins, people remember me as one of their favorite drivers … a driver who inspired people by driving my race car and doing what I love.
