SONOMA, Calif. -- Courtney Force topped Funny Car qualifying Friday night in the Toyota NHRA Sonoma Nationals at Sonoma Raceway.
The series leader with nine No. 1 qualifiers and four event victories this season, Force had a 3.910-second pass at 326.16 mph in a Chevy Camaro SS during the second qualifying session of the day.
"I knew that with these conditions during the second pass our team could really shine, so we pushed the car pretty hard and made our way to the top spot," Force said. "That run felt great, so I was really excited to do that for our sponsors, and even though we still have that pass tomorrow it feels great to be on top at the end of night one in Sonoma.
