GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Brittany Force has won her first NHRA Top Fuel event, beating Terry McMillen on Sunday in the final at the prestigious Gatornationals.
Robert Hight gave John Force Racing its first career double by winning the Funny Car class.
But Brittany Force was the story. One of 16-time world champion John Force's three racing daughters, Brittany was winless in her first seven Top Fuel finals. She ended the skid with some favorable matchups at one of the NHRA's premier events.
The No. 5 qualifier, Force beat Morgan Lucas (12th), Tripp Tatum (13th), Dave Connolly (ninth) and McMillen (14th) en route to the winner's circle.
