NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

When Brittany Force made the fastest run in Top Fuel history and reset the national speed record to 338.48 mph in her Flav-R-Pac dragster in the opening round of the NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway, she, crew chief David Grubnic, and the team now own the 10 fastest 1,000-foot speeds in NHRA Top Fuel history.

Her run at the NHRA Midwest Nationals broke her own national record, which had stood at 338.17 since a run at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the fall of 2019.

Force's run also knocked from the Top 10 list the oldest mark on the list, a run of 336.57 mph recorded by Tony Schumacher in Phoenix in 2018.

Of interest is that Force's sizzling run — and, in fact, her domination of the Top Fuel list — pales in comparison to that list of Funny Car drivers who ran faster than that in 2017 during the brief laid-back-header period or Ron Capps' scorched-earth flopper blast from Reading in 2019. Force's best Top Fuel run is only the ninth-fastest nitro pass in history, and eight of her top fastest passes are ranked between No. 12 and No. 20.

Also interesting is that the Top 20 nitro speeds list is equally distributed between Top Fuel and Funny Car.

Also worth noting is that Tony Schumacher's mind-bending pass from the 2005 Brainerd event — a quarter-mile speed of 337.58 — would still technically rank as one of the top 20 speeds (albeit No. 20).
