LAS VEGAS -- Courtney Force set the track elapsed time record, driving her Chevy Camaro Funny Car to a 3.867-second run at 327.66 mph during the first qualifying session Friday in the DENSO Spark Plugs NHRA Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
"We're starting the weekend on the right note," Force said after leading qualifying. "Running a 3.86 like that and to go to the top spot and set the track record, it definitely feels good. I'm proud of my guys. It feels good to get it running down there. It was a great run for us to kick of the weekend, but we're hoping we can hold onto it for tomorrow.
