Brittany Force, an NHRA driver and John Force’s daughter, recently married her girlfriend.
John Force Racing, the powerhouse company behind her successful racing career, openly expressed its heartfelt congrats on social media:
Brittany Force is married!! Congratulations to Brittany and Bobby as they embark on this amazing journey!
Brittany’s career highlights include exceptional feats that not only confirmed her status in the sport, but also inspired many others, particularly women in motorsports. In 2016, she made news as the first woman to win the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals and set a new record in the NHRA top fuel drag racing series, posting a time of 3.676 seconds over 1,000 feet at Heartland Park Topeka in Kansas. Her historic triumph in 2017 made her the first woman to win the NHRA Top Fuel title since Shirley Muldowney in 1982. Brittany solidified her achievement by winning a second Top Fuel championship in 2022.
Although 2024 is ending on a high note for the Force family, John was in a horrible crash at the Virginia Nationals earlier this year. After months of recovery, the 16-time Funny Car Champion returned to the NHRA scene in Las Vegas as a spectator to cheer on his teammates. Brittany responded on her father’s return:
“We knew it was going to be a special weekend because my father had planned to come out, so he drove here with my mother (Friday morning), and I believe everyone was looking forward to seeing him, particularly me.
“I grew up visiting racetracks across the country, but I’ve never been here without him. So, it’s been unusual to be out here without family since June, which is why my crew, all these guys, and everyone at John Force Racing, including everyone in our pits, is family. They feel like brothers to me. I am fortunate to have them and their support.
“I’m overjoyed for my father to be reunited with his family. I think that is fantastic for him. He has been pushing physical treatment, he has been focused and dedicated to it, and we are very pleased of him. But I believe he should be out here with his usual routine with the spectators, with his teams, and standing on the racetrack.
