After competing in just two races in 2020 and parking for the rest of the season because of the COVID-19 pandemic Brittany Force is thrilled to be back racing again.

Force is trying to repeat history this weekend at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

At the NHRA Camping World Series season-opening Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla., just more than a month ago, former Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson was dominant.

Anderson qualified No. 1 and then blazed to the race victory with four round wins.

In 2020, Matt Smith had the baddest bike in the NHRA Camping World Series.

Smith with his Erik Buell Racing Denso-sponsored motorcycle smoked the competition to claim the world title.

Brittany Force made her last Top Fuel qualifying run count in a major way on Saturday, powering to the No. 1 spot at the DENSO Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Robert Hight (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also qualified No. 1 in their respective categories at the second race of the 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season.

Steve Torrence, the reigning three-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion, flexed his muscles again Friday in Q1 at the Denso Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Torrence clocked a 3.741-second pass at 328.94 mph to capture the provisional No. 1 qualifying spot in the Capco Contractors family-owned dragster.

Like for many drag racers, the last 13 months have been crazy for two-time NHRA nitro Funny Car world champion Robert Hight.

Hight won the world title in 2019 and then in 2020 he only competed in the season’s first two races before John Force Racing parked its operation because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
