NHRA: Race Recap from Seattle. In her third final round appearance of the season, rookie Funny Car pilot Courtney Force sailed into the winners circle on Sunday, scoring the first professional victory of her career over a resurgent Matt Hagan. Moments earlier, popular Pro Stock ace Erica Enders won her second Pro Stock national event, defeating Jason Line in the final. Their wins marked a historic moment in NHRA history as the first time that two female winners shared the podium at a national event, and with Megan Ellingson’s win in Super Street, also the first time that three females have earned wins across the pro and sportsman ranks at a single event. Joining them in victory lane was the red-hot Steve Torrence, who earned his third Top Fuel victory of the season over Shawn Langdon.
