CONCORD, N.C. (March 24, 2025) — Two-Time Top Fuel world champion Brittany Force will look to write the next chapter in her storied career as the winner of the sport’s 1,000th Top Fuel event when the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals returns to zMAX Dragway April 25-27. A prominent woman in the drag racing world, Force has paved her way through the Top Fuel community and impacted women in sports in an unforgettable way. Her name is engraved in record books as the first female to win at a four-wide event and she currently holds the national record for elapsed time and speed for the NHRA’s Top Fuel class.

“It's something I'm very proud of, you know, the things we have accomplished. We’ve done a lot and I've done it over the years with different guys,” Force said when asked how it feels to see her name in the record books.

The 17-time winner has found tremendous success at zMAX Dragway, making this one of her favorite tracks. Speeding past the competition, Force made the quickest run in dragway history in 2023, clocking a pass of 3.651 seconds at 336.32 mph to break her own previous track record. In 2016, Force became the first woman to ever win a four-wide race.

“There's absolutely nothing like it. The ground shakes, your eyes are burning, your ears are ringing. It's quite an experience,” said Force.

As she looks to write the next chapter in the illustrious history of NHRA Top Fuel racing, fans can watch Force at the sport’s 1,000th Top Fuel event when she fires up her 11,000-horsepower dragster next month at the NHRA Four Wide Nationals. Drivers will take to the track for two days of qualifying, April 25-26, before an action-packed elimination Sunday, April 27.
