Soon after the NHRA barred women from competing at the 1960 Nationals in Detroit, the sport changed its stance on a coed roster. “Drag racing has been a male-dominated sport and now there are more women coming into the sport and having success. She was the 2013 NHRA Rookie of the Year. We do our girls dinners and drink our wine and talk about racing,” said Brittany Force, who is eyeing her first professional win this weekend in Brainerd. If Brittany Force or Pritchett can find the top of the podium this weekend, it’ll mark the first time there has been a female winner in each of the four NHRA professional classes in the same season. Erica Enders-Stevens leads the Pro Stock class with four wins this season and is the points leader entering the weekend.Īlexis DeJoria (Funny Car), Brittany Force (Top Fuel) and Leah Pritchett (Top Fuel) are among other women toasting to their recent success.
