BRITTANY FORCE APPEARS AT MONSTER ENERGY SUPERCROSS ROUND NINE

Indianapolis, IN – Brittany Force has attended Supercross events throughout the years with friends and family, but today was the first time she has represented John Force Racing and NHRA Drag Racing as a Monster Energy athlete. This morning she joined her Monster Energy dragster crew members and thousands of fans at the Monster Energy Supercross Round 9 in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The 2013 NHRA Rookie of the year appeared on Supercross Live for an in-depth interview with respected hosts Jim Holley and Andy Bowyer to start the day. She chatted with team manager Mitch Payton and rider Josh Grant in addition to rider Chad Reed before taking a tour of the pits and the track. Force’s presence at the race included the display of her Monster Energy dragster in the Monster Energy Pit Party before the feature event.

“I’ve been looking forward to this event for months now and I’m so excited to be here. Supercross is completely different than what we do in NHRA Drag Racing. I felt completely out of my element, but everyone was so accommodating and so nice it made it a really enjoyable experience. It’s really cool to be part of the Monster family and come to event like this and be so involved,” said Force.

The 2016 Gatornationals Top Fuel Champion and current Top Fuel points leader also participated in the production by holding the 30 second board and starting the 250 heat one race to begin the entire event. Fox Sports interviewed Force about her return to the Indianapolis market over Labor Day weekend for the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals in September.

“I met some of the riders today and team members. Chad Reed was super nice. He’s super talented and I think what these guys do is insane! I know everyone says that about our sport, but at least we have the protection of the car around us.”

“This whole day has just been something I’ll never forget. I’m with my team and everyone I love at Monster Energy and it’s so cool to be a part of something so huge. I’ll never forget it,” added Force.
