Chevrolet Camaro Funny Car during the opening qualifying session at the
prestigious Chevrolet Performance NHRA U.S. Nationals on Labor Day weekend.
Force, a 2017 30 Under 30 honoree, has been one of the hottest stars of the
2018 season as she drove the Brian Corradi-tuned fuel flopper to four victories
and an incredible 11 No. 1 qualifying positions. The Advance team’s momentum
slowed during the all-important Countdown to the Championship, but their
overall season performance was one for the Force family record books.
