Ep. 255 | Brittany Force

The Racing Writer's Podcast

Brittany Force enters a new season as a two-time NHRA Top Fuel champion and is hungry for more. But before we talk racing, Force shares how she got away from racing over the last few months traveling around the country; having extracurricular activities away from racing; what she learned to enjoy or do from the first championship to the second championship; digesting and appreciating the run her team had in the Countdown last year; what it was like to watch the first round at Pomona with the title on the line; getting crew chief David Grubnic his first championship; if her team can hit the 340 mph mark this season and if she wants to; balancing breaking records but not getting the race win; the work done in preseason testing; having a new car this year; having crew members all switch positions a year after winning a championship; the battle to constantly evolve; the growing depth of the Top Fuel field; the motivation in drag racing from the number on the side of the car; setting new challenges for herself every year; the addition of competition within competitions in the sport; returning to Chicago this year; needing an update to the Twitter bio.
