Brittany Force Sets New Speed Record and Secures Sponsorship Amidst Strong 2024 Season
Brittany Force, a prominent figure in NHRA drag racing, has been making headlines with her recent accomplishments on the track. At the NHRA Midwest Nationals, she set a new national speed record for Top Fuel, clocking in at an astonishing 338.48 mph. This record-breaking run solidifies her status as one of the fastest drivers in the sport’s history
Continuing her impressive streak, Force secured the No. 1 qualifier spot at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals at Pomona Dragstrip. This achievement marked her first top qualifier position of the 2024 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. Despite a lengthy rain delay, she managed a remarkable 3.711-second run at 335.73 mph, showcasing her and her team’s resilience and skill
Her momentum carried over to the NHRA New England Nationals, where she grabbed the No. 3 qualifying position in Top Fuel. This performance not only improved her standing in the series but also saw her reset a track speed record she originally set in 2022. Force’s consistent high-level performance has been a significant factor in her move from 10th to 9th in the points standings
In addition to her on-track successes, Force has expanded her sponsorship portfolio. Cornwell Tools, a long-time partner of John Force Racing, announced a two-event primary sponsorship for Force’s Top Fuel dragster. This sponsorship will be featured prominently at the Summit Racing Equipment Nationals and the Cornwell Tools “Night Under Fire” events in Ohio. The partnership with Cornwell Tools underscores the synergy between Force and the brand, especially at their home track in Norwalk
Force expressed her enthusiasm for the new sponsorship, stating, “It is an honor to be teamed up with Cornwell Tools and to feature them on our car. Ohio is home to Cornwell Tools, running their colors at Norwalk just feels right. After some progress at the last few races, our team is definitely getting closer to four win lights and landing the Cornwell Tools Chevy dragster in the winners’ circle.”
As the 2024 season progresses, Brittany Force’s record-breaking performances and strategic partnerships position her as a formidable competitor and a standout figure in the world of NHRA drag racing.
