Epping, NH — Brittany Force and her Monster Energy Top Fuel dragster roared to victory at New England Dragway this weekend, delivering a commanding performance that reminded the NHRA world why she remains one of the sport’s most formidable drivers. With poise, power, and precision, Force conquered the competition at the NHRA New England Nationals, taking home her first win of the 2025 season.

After a strong qualifying performance that placed her second on the ladder, Force looked dialed in from the very first round. Her crew, led by standout tuner David Grubnic, had the Monster Energy dragster running like a rocket, consistently clocking times in the low 3.70s throughout eliminations.

“This win means everything to us,” said Force in the winner’s circle. “We’ve been pushing hard all year, and this weekend everything just came together. The car was flawless, the team was perfect, and it feels incredible to get this win for Monster Energy and everyone who supports us.”

Force faced stiff competition on Sunday, including a semifinal clash with points leader Justin Ashley. In what turned out to be the marquee matchup of the day, Force nailed the holeshot and never looked back, blasting down the track with a blistering 3.716-second pass at 332 mph. Ashley gave chase but couldn’t close the gap, allowing Force to advance to the finals.

There, she squared off against veteran Doug Kalitta, a multiple-time event winner and perennial title contender. The final round proved to be a high-stakes, high-speed showdown. Force once again delivered under pressure, launching off the line with a .056 reaction time and laying down a 3.702-second run to Kalitta’s 3.741, securing the win by less than a car length.

“We’ve been building toward this all season,” said crew chief Grubnic. “Brittany drove like a champion today. The entire team executed perfectly. This is what we’ve been working for.”

The victory in New England marks Brittany Force’s 14th career Top Fuel win and her first at the historic New Hampshire track. It also gives her a significant boost in the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series standings, positioning her as a serious threat in the second half of the season.

Fans packed the stands at New England Dragway, many waving Monster Energy banners and cheering as Force celebrated with her crew on the starting line. The win was especially meaningful as it came in front of one of the sport’s most passionate fan bases.

“New England fans are incredible,” Force said. “They bring so much energy to the track, and to be able to win here with Monster on the side of our car—it’s just the perfect weekend.”

As the NHRA tour rolls on, all eyes will be on Brittany Force and her team. With momentum on their side and their setup firing on all cylinders, the Monster Energy crew has made it clear: they’re not just racing—they’re here to win.

Brittany Force conquered New England, and the rest of the NHRA field has officially been put on notice.
