John Force Racing announced today that Brittany Force will drive her Flav-R-Pac Chevrolet Top Fuel Dragster at this weekend’s NHRA Northwest Nationals at Kent, Washington.

The 38-year-old Force sat out the most recent race weekend in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series at Norwalk, Ohio, to be with her dad, injured Funny Car legend John Force.

John Force, meanwhile, continues to recover from a traumatic brain injury suffered when his Funny Car exploded and crashed into both walls at the NHRA event in Virginia on June 23. The team reports that he is “responding positively to treatment” at an undisclosed rehabilitation facility.

Brittany Force enters the Northwest Nationals holding down the 10th and final qualifying sport for the NHRA’s Countdown to the Championship Playoffs. She’s just 50 points clear of Josh Hart for that final spot.
