SEASON HIGHLIGHTS

FIRST-TIME PRO WINNERS

Mike Salinas earned his first career win in Top Fuel and was later joined by his daughter, rookie Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Jianna Salinas, and fellow rookie Austin Prock as first-time winners.

LANGDON DOUBLES DOWN

Former Top Fuel world champ Shawn Langdon became just the 17th racer to win in both nitro classes when he won Funny Car at the fall race in Charlotte.

FORCE GETS 150TH WIN

John Force continued to defy age, odds, and logic by racing to victory for the 150th time in his career at the NHRA Northwest Nationals. He went on to win No. 151 shortly thereafter.

QUEEN OF SPEED

Brittany Force set the elapsed time record (3.623) to open the NHRA Countdown to the Championship in Reading, Pa., and went one step further by claiming the speed record in Las Vegas (338.17 mph) at the penultimate playoff stop.
