In a sport where fractions of a second define greatness, Brittany Force has built a legacy in full-throttle form — blazing past her competition as the fastest racer in NHRA history. With David Grubnic calling the shots, and Monster Energy fueling her charge, Force pilots a dragster that has become the very symbol of speed in Top Fuel. At the 2025 Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals presented by PowerEdge, Force scorched the track with a staggering 343-mph pass to take the title of the fastest pass in Top Fuel history. The person who turns that ambition into reality is her crew chief, Grubnic. Known for his fearless tuning and data-savvy decisions, Grubnic explains how Force's dragster is optimized for round-winning performance and that record speeds are a byproduct of having a winning combination, while maintaining a razor-thin margin of mechanical control.
