Racing background: Brittany earned her NHRA competition drivers license in 2003 after graduating from Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School; entering her second season at the wheel of a 180-mile-an-hour Brand Source sponsored hybrid dragster.

The daughter John Force has acknowledged as his “problem child,” Brittany Force is a headstrong California blonde with a serious “need for speed” that hasn’t always been channeled to the racetrack.

Unlike her older sisters, Adria and Ashley, Brittany initially eschewed a job at the John Force Racing complex in Yorba Linda, Calif., to work at a pizza café. A further manifestation of her rebellious nature occurred on her father’s 56th birthday when, while every other woman in the team compound was wearing an “I Love John Force” t-shirt, Brittany opted for an “I Love N.Y.” model.

Like her father and sisters, Brittany is intensely competitive once she gets to the track, donning her fire-engine red driving suit and climbing into the cockpit of her Super Comp dragster. Nevertheless, a career in racing is no certainty.
“She’s tough when she’s in the car,” her father said, “but she’s got to learn to do everything else, like giving enough time to the sponsors and the media and the fans. She’s always gone her own way but if she wants to race, I’ll do all I can to give her a chance (to succeed).”
