A day after setting the NHRA speed world record, Brittany Force won the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge for the first time this season, defeating Justin Ashley in the final round Saturday at Sonoma Raceway. The victory came during the 37th annual Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals.
 

Force, a two-time Top Fuel champion, posted a 3.869-second run at 324.75 mph in her Monster Energy dragster. Ashley ran into tire smoke during the matchup, giving Force her first bonus race win of 2025.

 

“I’m excited to finally win one of these Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge races,” Force said. “I was talking with David [Grubnic, crew chief] last night and we said that we were disappointed we didn’t have one. We turned on two win lights today to get the job done.”

In Funny Car, Ron Capps beat No. 1 qualifier Matt Hagan with a 3.904-second run at 324.20 mph in his NAPA Auto Parts Toyota GR Supra. Capps earned his second bonus race win of the year after defeating Spencer Hyde earlier in the day.

 

“It was just a really cool race and it was good to give Toyota a win,” Capps said. “I grew up three hours south of here and this has always been a great place to race.”

 

Capps said his team made adjustments as conditions cooled. “Before we ran, Guido [Dean Antonelli, crew chief] said he thought we could better our qualifying position. That’s a big deal, so I had to stage thin. I also had to be ready for Matt because we all know how good he is,” Capps said.

Dallas Glenn capped the day by winning the Pro Stock bonus race while also setting a new track record and taking the No. 1 qualifying spot. Glenn went 6.471 at 211.79 mph in his RAD Torque Systems Chevrolet Camaro to beat Cody Coughlin, who left first and ran 6.501.

 

“This shows that we have a good car,” Glenn said. “We ran into a headwind, so I didn’t think we could [qualify No. 1], but we made a good run even though I messed up a bit. I guess I got a bit lucky since Cody was only seven thousandths away from stealing it from me.”

 

The victory was Glenn’s third Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge win of the year and his second in a row. The Pro Stock points leader qualified No. 1 for the fourth time this season and will face Kenny Delco in the opening round of eliminations Sunday.
