BROWNSBURG, IN – Graham Rahal Performance (GRP) and John Force Racing, a dynasty in American Motorsports, are thrilled to announce a new partnership for the 2025 NHRA Season.

At the upcoming NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, hosted at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, for the very first time Graham Rahal Performance will be the primary sponsor on Brittany Force’s Top Fuel Dragster and Jack Beckman’s Funny Car. “When John came to me and spoke of the opportunity to be present on the car, it was extremely intriguing for our company,” said Graham Rahal, President of Graham Rahal Performance. “Our expertise in service, custom fabrication, and our other offerings, align very well with the drag racing community, and we wanted to put that on display. Courtney and I felt strongly that it was in the best interest of our company to partner with John and everyone at John Force Racing, and support both my sister-in-law, Brittany as well as Jack throughout the entire year. We’re excited about the relationship with the team, and for the people in the NHRA community to see what GRP can do for them.”

Throughout the remainder of the NHRA Season, Graham Rahal Performance will maintain a Major Associate Sponsorship with John Force Racing. When the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA US Nationals arrive at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, GRP will be showcased on both cars and will also have a presence on-site. Continue reading →

POMONA, CA – It’s been 27 years since Jack Beckman first hoisted a winners’ trophy at what today is In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip but, on the eve of this week’s 65th running of the Lucas Oil Winternationals, the two-time NHRA World Champion’s confidence never has been higher for an event on his home track.

“I won the 2019 Finals, 2020 Winternationals and 2024 Finals,” he said. “So the last three times I raced there, I left with the trophy.”

That’s a remarkable streak considering that he was out of the sport, at least competitively, from November 2020, when lack of sponsorship compelled former car owner Don Schumacher to park his car, until last August when he took over the controls of the PEAK Antifreeze and Coolant Chevrolet SS from an injured John Force.

Last November, in his return to the track on which he won Super Comp titles at the 1998 and 2003 Winternationals, he posted personal best numbers of 3.812 seconds and 336.23 miles per hour en route to winning the In-N-Out Finals and locking up the No. 2 position in the Mission Foods driver standings as Force’s surrogate.

POMONA, CA – Although she’s lost as many rounds as she’s won this year in her national record-holding Monster Energy dragster, two-time Top Fuel World Champion Brittany Force has every reason to be optimistic this week as the Mission Foods Drag Racing series moves to In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip for the 65th annual Lucas Oil Winternationals.

After all, it’s the 38-year-old’s home track, the one on which she made her pro debut in 2013, the one on which she clinched her first championship in 2017, the one on which she raced to an NHRA national record 338.94 miles per hour in 2022 and the one on which she watched her dad, Hall of Famer John Force, win a record 17 times.

“I love this racetrack because it always has such a nostalgic feel to me,” she said. “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. Continue reading →

POMONA, CA – Despite last year’s weather-induced anomaly in which he qualified 15th and bowed out in the first round, Austin Prock can’t wait to get his Cornwell Tools Chevrolet SS Funny Car back on the concrete and asphalt at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip this week for the 65th renewal of the Lucas Oil Winternationals, second oldest event in the Mission Drag Racing Series.

“Coming off a good weekend in Phoenix, I’m excited to get back into the groove.” said the reigning Mission Foods Champion. “Pomona is my favorite track on tour. The history and atmosphere of the place just gets me going and it’s just been good to me. We will try and get this Cornwell Tools/Hendrickcars.com Chevy in the finals again.”

The 29-year-old’s enthusiasm is not unwarranted considering the fact that he has reached the final round in five of nine career appearances at the iconic Los Angeles Country Fairgrounds track on which he became the first to break the 340 mile per hour barrier (a national record-setting 341.68 mph) during last November’s season-ending In-N-Out Burger Finals.
