NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

How important is a win in the first race of the Countdown to the championship at this weekend’s NHRA Carolina Nationals? “It’s huge,” according to Courtney Force, driver of the Traxxas Chevrolet Camaro, who returns to the Countdown after missing out on the chance to race for the championship last year.

Force catches up with NHRA’s Amanda Busick at the Wally Parks NHRA Studio to talk about her growth this past season as well as being the winningest female in Funny Car history and the racing advice she shares with her sister, Brittany, who is also seeking world championship glory in Top Fuel.
