NHRA driver and John Force’s daughter Brittany Force recently tied the knot with her partner.
John Force Racing, the powerhouse team behind her celebrated racing career, publicly extended its heartfelt congratulations on social media:
“Brittany Force is MARRIED!! Wishing the BIGGEST CONGRATS to Brittany and Bobby as they embark on this beautiful journey!”
Brittany married her partner, Bobby, though specifics about the ceremony and details surrounding her new husband remain minimal due to Brittany’s inclination to maintain privacy regarding her personal life.
The NHRA driver shared on social media:
“I can’t wait to do life with you!
“Thank you for the most beautiful photos and for capturing our special day!”
Brittany Force carries an illustrious legacy in the world of motorsports. As the daughter of John Force, a legendary 16-time NHRA Funny Car champion, she upholds a family tradition in racing alongside her sisters, Ashley Force Hood and Courtney Force, who are also established drag racers. Brittany’s journey in drag racing commenced in 2005 within the Super Comp category. She advanced to the Top Alcohol Dragster division in 2008 before making a notable debut in the Top Fuel category in 2013, becoming the first driver from John Force Racing to compete there.
Brittany’s career highlights include remarkable milestones that have not only cemented her status in the sport but also inspired many, particularly women in motorsports. In 2016, she made headlines by becoming the first woman to win the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals and set a new record in the NHRA Top Fuel Drag Racing Series, clocking a run of 3.676 seconds over 1,000 feet at Heartland Park Topeka in Kansas. Her historic victory in 2017 saw her crowned as the NHRA Top Fuel champion, the first woman to achieve this since Shirley Muldowney in 1982. Further solidifying her performance, Brittany secured a second Top Fuel championship in 2022.
Although 2024 is coming to a close on a high note for the Force family, John suffered a horrific crash at the Virginia Nationals earlier this year. After months of recovery, the 16-time Funny Car Champion made his return to the NHRA scene in Las Vegas as a spectator to support his team. Speaking about her father’s return, Brittany commented at the time:
“Coming into this weekend, we knew it was going to be special because my dad had planned to come out, so he drove up with my mom (Friday morning), and I think everyone was looking forward to seeing him, especially me.
“I have grown up out here at these racetracks all over the country, but I have never been out here without him. So, it has definitely been strange since June to be out here without family, which is why my team and all these guys and everybody in John Force Racing—everyone in our pits—is family. They feel like brothers to me. I’m lucky to have them and their support.
“To have family back, have my dad back out here, I’m so excited for him. I think it is great for him. He has been pushing physical therapy, and he has been focused, and he has been dedicated to it, and we are really proud of him. But I think being out here with his old routine with the fans, with his teams, standing on a racetrack, that’s where he should be.
“I’m happy to be out here with him and really proud to perform well and put a killer number on the board. I wish we could have got down there on that last run, but it was pretty cool to do that with him standing behind our car.”
