JFR CHEVROLET FUNNY CARS AND MONSTER TOP FUELER READY FOR RACE DAY
COMMERCE, GA – At the end of a busy two days of qualifying that saw John Force Racing unveil Brittany Force’s 
Monster Energy Top Fuel dragster on Friday and John Force run to the No. 2 qualifying spot in the Peak Anti-Freeze and Coolant Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car JFR is positioned for a successful race day at Atlanta Dragway. Courtney Force will go into race day as the No. 10 qualifier in the Traxxas Chevy Camaro SS and defending Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals champion Robert Hight will enter race day as the No. 14 qualifier, the same position from which he won the 2007 Auto Club Finals.
Track conditions proved tricky for every driver and crew chief competing in the various Mello Yello Drag Racing Series classes today. John Force and his Jon Schaffer tuned Peak Anti-Freeze and Coolant Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car did not improve their qualifying position but that did not diminish the feeling so success today for the seven-time Southern Nationals winner.
JOHN FORCE HOT ON FRIDAY AT SOUTHERN NATIONALS
COMMERCE, GA – The winningest Funny Car driver ever at Atlanta Dragway came out of the hauler ready to chase 
down his eighth Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals title. John Force finished the first day of qualifying as the provisional No. 2 Funny Car qualifier with a stout 4.031 second run. It took a track record elapsed time from Cruz Pedregon to push the 142-time Funny Car winner out of the top spot.
It was the end of a long day for the 16-time Mello Yello Funny Car champion that started with the unveiling of his daughter’s Monster Energy Top Fuel dragster. Force was pleased with this Peak Antifreeze and Coolant Chevrolet Camaro Funny Car team’s performance but he was also relieved with the added sponsor support from Monster Energy.
MONSTER ENERGY TOP FUEL DRAGSTER UNVEILED AT NHRA SOUTHERN NATIONALS
ATLANTA, GA – The Monster Energy Top Fuel dragster was unveiled today in the John Force Racing pit area. On a 
Wednesday national teleconference Monster Energy was announced as the primary sponsor for third year pro Brittany Force. The multi-year agreement will start this weekend at Atlanta Dragway.
JOHN FORCE EYES SOUTHERN NATIONALS FOR SECOND WIN OF 2015
ATLANTA, GA – The last time John Force was in the final round of the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern 
Nationals he was racing for his 1,000th round win at his 500th race. It was 2008 and he was on the cusp of setting a record that no one would ever be able to touch. One more round win and he would be able to forever claim that for 500 straight races he averaged a semi-final finish. Unfortunately, history was not on his side as he watched his daughter Ashley Force Hood etch her name into the history books as the first female to ever win an NHRA Funny Car national event.
“Seeing Ashley get that win was so special. I wanted to get that 1,000th round win so I had a lot on the line but that day was just her day. Now I have Courtney and Brittany out here battling it out. Courtney almost won here last year and Brittany will have a brand new sponsor, Monster Energy, at this race,” said Force.
MONSTER ENERGY TO BACK BRITTANY FORCE TOP FUEL DRAGSTER
ATLANTA, GA – John Force Racing and Monster Energy today announced a multi-year primary sponsorship 
agreement that will begin this weekend at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals. Brittany Force’s Top Fuel dragster will be adorned with the Monster Energy logo and branding for the duration of the 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season and beyond.
“You can’t even mention drag racing without including John Force and John Force Racing,” said Monster Vice President of Sports Marketing Mitch Covington. “Their winning dominance and high performance heritage are simply unmatchable. John is a personality that actually transcends the sport and his daughter Brittany is every bit the fierce competitor as her dad – and she’s a lot prettier than John. The next generation of JFR, Monster Energy is thrilled to have Brittany at the controls of the Monster Energy Top Fuel Dragster this season. Monster is all about unleashing the beast, and there is no other beast like a 10,000 horsepower, asphalt wrinkling, Nitro guzzling dragster.”
HIGHT, C. FORCE RACE TO SEMIS IN HOUSTON
BAYTOWN, TX – It was a strong day for John Force Racing at the 28th annual O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Spring 
Nationals even though the team just missed getting into the winner’s circle for the 239th time. Robert Hight and Courtney Force raced their Chevrolet Camaro Funny Cars to the semi-finals but came up just a few thousandths of a second short.
Robert Hight and the AAA Texas Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car took out Chad Head and then team leader John Force to set up a Hight versus Ron Capps semi-final. When the race cars crossed the finish line the scoreboards lit up with exact same elapsed time but the margin of victory was one thousandth of a second on the starting line as both drivers had nearly identical reaction times.
EXCITING MATCH-UPS FOR JFR AT SPRING NATIONALS
BAYTOWN, TX – The rain moved over Royal Purple Raceway this morning but by the time the first qualifying 
session was scheduled it was blue skies and a warm track for the John Force Racing Chevrolet Camaro Funny Cars and Top Fuel dragster. At the end of the day all four JFR entries were qualified and ready for some exciting first round match-ups with long-time rivals and tough competitors.
Brittany Force and the Next Generation Top Fuel dragster will face off with Leah Pritchett for the fourth time in her career in the opening session tomorrow. Force will give up lane choice as the No. 9 qualifier but Pritchett does not have a huge performance advantage as the No. 8 quickest dragster on the property. The Next Generation dragster posted a best time of 3.779 seconds to Pritchett’s Gumout dragster’s 3.775 seconds. This kind of tight performance difference is both a blessing and a curse.
ROBERT HIGHT, BRITTANY FORCE TOPS FOR JFR ON FRIDAY
BAYTOWN, TX – Robert Hight and the AAA Texas Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car started the day with a successful 
run and it was third year pro Brittany Force and the Next Generation Top Fuel Dragster who ended the day on a positive note for the 18-time Mello Yello World Championship team. Hight will go into Saturday as the No. 7 qualifier on the strength of his first qualifying run. Brittany Force wrapped up Friday’s qualifying as the No. 6 quickest Top Fuel dragster.
Hight and the AAA Texas Chevy Camaro SS Funny Car came out of the box on a hot track posting a solid 4.058 second elapsed time at 317.05 mph. His run was the third quickest of the session and garnered Hight one qualifying bonus point.
ASHLEY FORCE HOOD NAMED VICE PRESIDENT OF JOHN FORCE RACING INC.
YORBA LINDA, CA – John Force Racing, Inc. CEO John Force announced today that Ashley Force Hood would 
assume the role of Vice-President of John Force Racing, Inc. Previously Force Hood held the position of President of John Force Entertainment Inc., but that company will now fall under the John Force Racing, Inc. umbrella. The consolidation of corporations was a streamlining and cost cutting measure by John Force.
Force Hood’s day to day role will continue to revolve around entertainment production and commercial development but she will also be more involved in the racing side of the business as time progresses. The two-time U.S. Nationals Funny Car champion continues to stay active with a current Funny Car license and would be available to step back into the driver’s seat but for now the active mother of two is content to be an advisor and confidante for her two racing sisters, Brittany and Courtney.
JFR Houston Team Reports
JOHN FORCE RIDING HIGH COMING INTO HOUSTON
BAYTOWN, TX – When the win light lit up for John Force for the 142nd time two weeks ago in Las Vegas the 
winningest driver in NHRA history didn’t want to bask in the glow of victory by himself but rather he wanted to share the spotlight with his teammate and finals partner Robert Hight. Force and Hight have been nearly inseparable the past 18 months as the pair have been working to put John Force Racing, Inc., back together again. The win, the first all Chevrolet final round since 2008, was a huge victory for Force who has put more energy into this season than any in previous memory.
“I have been working around the clock to put this company back together and show corporate America John Force can still get the job done. I have a young team and a new crew chief Jon Schaffer and they came together in Las Vegas. I wanted to build for the future not just for me but for my kids and grandkids. These guys on this team and all my teams are the future of John Force Racing,” said Force after his remarkable win in Las Vegas.
