Brittany Force crashes -- Ashley Force's first test run since turning professional Tuesday (a 10.824-second elapsed time at 71.88 mph) looked to be the hot family topic of the day. But 20-year-old younger sister Brittany later got the attention in a way nobody wanted to see.
 
Brittany Force suffered a slight concussion Saturday evening after her Brand Source-sponsored Super Comp dragster hit the left retaining wall during her second run of the day. She was conscious and sitting up following the accident but reportedly had a temporary memory loss.

Brittany Force suffered a slight concussion Saturday evening after her Brand Source-sponsored Super Comp dragster hit the left retaining wall during her second run of the day. She was conscious and sitting up following the accident but reportedly had a temporary memory loss.
 
She was transported to University Medical Center and released later Saturday night.
 
The accident folded the A-arms on the left front wheel, crushing it into the body of the car. The car was unable to roll and was taken back to the pits on a truck.
 
John Force said of Brittany, "She'll be fine." He has cautioned his three racing daughters that if they compete long enough, they will experience a crash. Nevertheless, he and wife Laurie, and the family and team were shaken by the incident.
 
About an hour after she made her first pass, Brittany Force encountered cooler track temperatures. He dragster made a quirky move about half track, and she corrected it. The car moved back toward the center, then made a hard left turn into wall.
