Brittany Force Slammed with Another Disappointment NHRA

Brittany Force posted her second 340-plus-mph speed of the weekend at 340.14 mph in her Round 1 victory over Tony Schumacher. She had run a track-record 340.57 mph in Friday qualifying. But once again, her car would not cooperate when it came to going late rounds.

After she drove out on her burnout in the semifinal, ready to take on Steve Torrence, the car experienced what crew chief Dave Grubnic thought was an ignition problem of some description. It simply quit on her. She opened the cockpit canopy, climbed out right there on the track, and went straight to her tow vehicle, supremely disappointed.
