Background
Brittany Leighton Force was born on July 8, 1986 in Yorba Linda, California. She is the little girl of speedster John Force and the sister of fellow racers, Courtney Force and Ashley Force Hood.
Brittany took in the fundamentals of racing at Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School under the tutelage of Super Comp and Funny Car World Champion "Quick Jack" Beckman, who now drives a Funny Car for John Force Racing. Subsequent to finishing the licensing process, Brittany hustled in Super Comp for three seasons and in the Top Alcohol Dragster division for three more.
Career
Brittany Force's racing career is highlighted by her superb 2017 NHRA season. Brittany left a mark on the world by turning into the first lady in 35 years, and just the second one in racing history, to win racing's definitive prize, a Top Fuel World Championship.
Brittany was only sixth in points with one win in two last round appearances entering the 2017 Countdown to the Championship, NHRA's six race playoffs, however she was relentless from that point as she had her eyes set on the top prize.
She won a second Top Fuel World Championship in 2022. Force stepped away from full-time competition at the end of the 2025 season, having won 19 Top Fuel events, the most by a female driver in the class.
