Speaking ahead of the event, the two-time Top-Fuel world champion shared her personal connection with the track and said (as quoted by Drag Illustrated):

“I love this racetrack because it always has such a nostalgic feel to me. My sisters and I grew up at the Pomona dragstrip, riding in my dad’s tow car with his crew guys and watching race day from the stands," she said.

“I'm glad to get back to the racetrack after a few tough few weeks. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions for our family since Richmond, but my dad has made great progress, and we are all so proud of him. He has transferred now to a rehabilitation center closer to home," she said (via johnforceracing.com).
