POMONA, Calif. -- Top Fuel title contender Brittany Force ran the quickest pass in Auto Club Raceway at Pomona history Friday during qualifying for the season-ending Auto Club NHRA Finals.
Force, who entered the event only 20 points behind first-place Steve Torrence, had a 3.667-second pass at 330.31 mph in the second qualifying session to take over the Top Fuel lead.
"Obviously, we're trying to push the car," Force said. "To jump up to the No. 1 spot was huge for us but that's where we need to be. We're chasing down that No. 1 spot and to have killer run like that sets us up good for tomorrow and gets us ready for race day.
