Brittany Force, 'Queen of Speed,' to retire after record-breaking season to start a family

Not long after Brittany Force went 343.51 mph in the fastest run in NHRA history, the two-time Top Fuel world champion announced Friday she is retiring at the end of the season to focus on starting a family. Force, the second of four drag racing daughters of 16-time champion John Force, married Bobby Lyons at the end of last season and told The Associated Press she's ready to shift into a new role of motherhood. Brittany Force turned 39 in July.
