JOHN FORCE DOUBLES UP AND FANS WIN AGAIN AT MAPLE GROVE
Reading, PA – This weekend at the 29th annual Auto Plus NHRA Nationals, John Force qualified No. 1, claimed victory on race day and 
was able to award a lucky John Force Racing fan with a 55” flat screen TV, compliments of BrandSource and the “Win with Force” promotion.
The 64-year-old driver/team owner and his Castrol GTX Ford Mustang team ran a career-best 3.987 on Friday evening, securing them the No. 1 spot in the 18-car field and put a front loading washer and dryer set in the hands of lucky fan Jason Blough of Lincoln University, Pa. (See attached photo)
Today, Force won four straight round of racing for his third victory of the 2013 Mello Yello Drag Racing series season and won lucky fan William Hughes a 55”flatscreen TV. The 15-time world champion beat Jeff Arend, Cruz Pedregon, Ron Capps and Chad Head on his way to his 137th career win.
“There was good competition today. (Ron) Capps is hungry. I was fudging on the lights against Cruz (Pedregon). I was going in deep on some and not so deep on others. You had to be ready for anything today. You had to think it out in case you had to pedal it. You have to watch the car you might have to run the next session. If they run a big number then you have to go after lane choice,” said Force.
“I rolled in a little bit against Capps and he rolled in a little too. You don’t want to give too much away but you don’t care about the next round against a guy like Capps because you just want that win. Up against Chad Head his dad will throw a hard ball and he is a heck of a racer. He ain’t afraid of John Force. He ain’t afraid of nobody. We played strategy all day and we stayed with what we knew would run down the race track. That is Jimmy Prock.”
