Steve Torrence, Courtney Force and Chris McGaha celebrate

Courtney Force took home the Funny Car victory with a run of 3.834 seconds at 337.16 mph to take down Tommy Johnson Jr. in the final round. After earning the No. 1 qualifier on Saturday, Force secured her first victory since Houston 2016.

“Having [crew chief] Brian Corradi on my team and working with Dan Hood has been a great connection for our entire team," Force said. “I had the utmost confidence to get in the car today because of the job my team does on it, so to get a victory at this race and take home a Wally at the end of the weekend is pretty incredible."
