NHRA speed-record holder Brittany Force in images
Brittany Force is NHRA royalty. The daughter of drag racing legend John Force is a two-time Top Fuel series champion. Brittany Foce recently became the fastest driver in NHRA history. At the Northwest Nationals, she ripped down the strip at 341.85 miles per hour for the quarter mile. Brittany Force has five of the six fastest trips in Top Fuel history. "Obviously, the highlight of our weekend was in the semifinals when we made a killer run and went even faster than our national record," said Force. "It's really exciting for this whole team. We work really hard to turn on win lights and put the best numbers up on the board, and we're hoping that record will hold for a while."

Brittany Force Delivers Record Breaking Speeds During NHRA Run
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. 39-year-old Brittany Force reached 341.85 MPH during her NHRA Top Fuel semi-final run at Northwest National in Seattle. Daughter of the legendary John Force, Brittany is carving out her legacy after notching another impressive feat under her belt. She was going up against Doug Kalitta and delivered the fastest speed ever recorded in the 1,000-foot era. Force previously held the record for the highest speed reached, setting a speed of 341.59 MPH back in April. Race car drivers Brittany Force (L) and John Force arrive at the Yahoo! Sports Presents A Day Of Champions event at the Sports Museum of Los Angeles on November 6, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Race car drivers Brittany Force (L) and John Force arrive at the Yahoo!

"It's really exciting for this whole team. We work really hard to turn on win lights and put the best numbers up on the board and we're hoping that record will hold for a while." Even though she reached those speeds, her time overall was just short of the record. She finished in 3.641 seconds in 2022, but this run in Seattle was done in 3.659 seconds. In total, Force owns five of the six fastest speeds ever recorded in Top Fuel, asserting her dominance in the race category. She is in a class of her own, having won two Top Fuel titles and broken records during her long career. Unfortunately, she fell short in the final after her car's oil pan pressure caused issues. The car shut down during her run and ultimately finished in second place. "Overall, it was a pretty solid outing for this team," Force added. "We were able to make our way to the final round but, unfortunately, came up short. Pan pressure automatically shut us off in the final. I had no power and was just coasting to the finish line and saw Shawn go around me." Still, her blistering speed required a high level of skill and some favorable track conditions to achieve it. The track at Pacific Raceways is situated at an elevation of only 308 feet above sea level, providing the circuit with air that is denser than the thinner air found at higher altitudes. Additionally, the temperatures were cool, considering the Pacific Northwest weather. Force's ability to handle such intense speeds is what makes her such an exceptional racing talent, and her current record might not be safe if she continues to race.

See Brittany Force Set All-Time NHRA Speed Record — 341.85 MPH at Pacific Raceways
Brittany Force was not able to pull off the win in the Top Fuel class at the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Kent, Wash., on Sunday, but she left the race weekend with a new title—Fastest Person in NHRA History. Force, who lost to Shawn Langdon in the finals, set a NHRA record in the semifinals with a run of 3.659 seconds which translated to an all-time record 341.85 mph. The speed mark for the John Force Racing driver eclipses the 341.59 mph run she turned in at the Four-Wide event at Charlotte earlier this season. It also eclipsed the 341.68 turned in by Austin Prock in the Funny Car class last fall at Pomona. That mark is still tops in Funny Car. 'Overall it was a pretty solid outing for this team here in Seattle," Force said. "We came out and qualified third and laid down three passes over 340 miles per hour this weekend. We were able to make our way to the final round but unfortunately came up short to Shawn Langdon. Pan pressure automatically shut us off in the final. I had no power and was just coasting to the finish line and I saw Shawn (Langdon) go around me. "But obviously the highlight of our weekend was in the semifinals when we made a killer run and went even faster than our current national mile per hour record at 341.85 mph, fastest all time. It's really exciting for this whole team to do that and be a part of something so prominent in our sport. "We work really hard to turn on win lights and put the best numbers up on the board and we're hoping that record will hold for a while. We reset the Top Fuel speed record back in Charlotte, but our teammate Austin Prock still had us beat overall, so to step up and out do our run from Charlotte and not just be the fastest Top Fuel driver but to be the fastest person in our sport, that's such a huge accomplishment for our team. Wins are important but setting records is pretty awesome to. The Countdown is quickly approaching and if we can keep putting together performances like this, we're going to be in a pretty good spot.'
