Force and crew chief David Grubnic are setting track records, have their sights set on an NHRA championship.
Brittany Force holds 12 speed records and 10 ET records at race tracks currently on the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series schedule.
In May, Force set track records in her Monster Energy dragster for quickest and fastest runs in qualifying at Virginia Motorsports Park, near Richmond. Force now holds 12 speed records and 10 ET records at dragstrips currently on the NHRA schedule. Most of those marks have come over the past two seasons.
"Those records," she said."That's David Grubnic. That has David Grubnic written all over it. He always wants to push, push, push to see what he can do, what this car can do and what this team can do. He always puts a number on the board. But this year, our focus is not so much on that. It’s more about getting the car down there—yes, trying to gain those bonus points—but our focus is making sure we run well in qualifying to get us ready for race day.
John Force Racing shut down its operation for most of the 2020 season due to the COVID pandemic before coming back last year. The time off has made Brittany appreciate her latest run of success even more. "The excitement of it all, the team atmosphere, and being at these race tracks that I grew up at. Everyone around here is family. It made me really appreciate that, really pointed out how much I love this."Grubnic will second that. A former Top Fuel racer for Kalitta Motorsports, native Australian Grubnic won four times as a driver before moving into his role as tuner and crew chief.
