Force sisters top NHRA qualifying in Charlotte

CONCORD, N.C. -- Sisters Brittany and Courtney Force topped qualifying Friday for the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMax Dragway.

Brittany Force broke the Top Fuel track time record with a 3.689-second pass at 318.39 mph.

"It felt good, especially compared to that first run we made earlier," she said. "I just wanted a clean safe pass and I wasn't expecting to go No. 1. When they told me when I got out at the top end that was pretty exciting. My team is pretty pumped."

Courtney Force led the Funny Car field with a 3.873 at 332.
