John Force Racing
Team Rorce Ready to Rock 4-Wide
COURTNEY FORCE SEEKING FIRST FOUR-WIDE WIN
CONCORD, NC – Courtney Force returns to zMAX Dragway this week for the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals; one of the most 
challenging race tracks and events on the NHRA Mello Yello Circuit for the youngest daughter of John Force and her Traxxas Ford Mustang team.
“zMAX Dragway is a unique track. Bruton Smith has built the Bellagio of drag strips, which makes it exciting to be a part of such a one of a kind race. Racing three other cars at once is so extreme, but thrilling for both the drivers and the fans. You can’t see this kind of racing anywhere else,” said Force.
In both 2012 and 2013, the 25-year-old qualified in the No. 12 position at Four-Wide and went out in the first round of eliminations on Sunday.
FORCE HOOD RELICENSED; JFR DRIVERS MAKE STRONG PASSES IN TESTING
LAS VEGAS, NV – John Force Racing had a successful day of testing at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Most notably 
Ashley Force Hood renewed her NHRA Funny Car license driving Courtney Force’s Traxxas Ford Mustang Funny Car. She made four passes posting times of 4.11, 4.04, 4.01 and 4.05 seconds.
There is no timetable or schedule for Force Hood to return to full-time or part-time racing. The goal of the test session was not just to renew Force Hood’s license but to also provide the 18-time Funny Car championship team with an in-house experienced driver in the event a current driver was unable to participate in an NHRA national event.
AUTO CLUB’S HIGHT RUNNER-UP AT LAS VEGAS;TAKES PTS LEAD
LAS VEGAS , NV – Robert Hight was racing in his third consecutive final and his second final of the season versus Alexis DeJoria 
today at the 15th annual Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals. The Auto Club Ford Mustang was consistent all day running 4.082, 4.086, 4.073 and then 4.083 in the final but DeJoria’s amazing 4.026 second pass in the other lane gave her the win. Hight will leave with the Mello Yello points lead and the momentum of three finals in a row as the Auto Club team heads east for the 5th annual Four-Wide NHRA Nationals in Charlotte, NC.
“We had a great car all day. It was so consistent running 4.08s and a 4.07. That was a great run in the other lane. No one is hanging their head over in the Auto Club pits. We have been to three finals in a row and we have the points lead. Mike Neff has a great handle on this car and it was flawless today,” said Hight, a three-time Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals winner. “We have three wins at this race and we will be looking to get in the winner’s circle here in the fall. This season is a marathon not a sprint. I have to thank all our sponsors from Auto Club to Castrol, Ford, Mac Tools, PEAK and BrandSource. I was hoping we could have given away a TV again but sometimes the breaks just don’t go your way,” said Robert Hight.
FORCES DOMINATE FINAL DAY OF VEGAS QUALIFYING
LAS VEGAS, NV – In the fourth and final qualifying session today at the Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals, Courtney Force 
jumped from the No. 8 spot and went to the top of the Funny Car pack with a 4.006 at 325.37 mph. This is the 25-year-old driver’s fourth No. 1 since the 2013 Winternationals.
“We are excited. We struggled a little bit at the beginning of the season. In Gainesville we went all the way to the semis and we got beat by my dad. It felt good to have a consistent race car back. It felt good to come to a track where we have had some success in the past. We have been No. 2 here and we went to the final at both Las Vegas events last year,” said Force.
Force not only set the track record for both ET and speed with that run, but also beat her personal-best ET of 4.016, which she set at the NHRA Finals in 2013, and her career-best speed of 320.98 mph.
SOLID START FOR JFR AT LAS VEGAS ON FRIDAY
LAS VEGAS, NV – Robert Hight and the Auto Club team stepped up in the second session posting a strong 4.084 second run at 
313.66 mph on the first day of the Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals. At the end of the day he was solidly in the show at the provisional No. 5 position at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In the opening qualifying session his Auto Club Ford Mustang was pulling hard at half-track and then lost traction slowing to a pedestrian 4.731 second beside Mello Yello point leader John Force. The three time Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals winner was not discouraged with today’s effort.
“The track was good today and you saw that in the second session. Lots of Funny Car stepped up and we feel good about that run. Last week we won the race from the No. 10 spot so you really just need a consistent race car on race day. I feel good about where Mike Neff and these Auto Club crew guys have this Funny Car. We will get two more shots at the track tomorrow and I am looking forward to Sunday,” said Hight.
POINTS LEADER WANTS TO KEEP GOING ROUNDS AND PICKING UP WINS
LAS VEGAS, NV – When John Force’s Castrol GTX High Mileage Mustang comes rolling into Vegas, the 16-time champ will have a 
43 point lead over his fellow teammate Robert Hight who happens be his son-in-law and president of John Force Racing. However, the 64 year-old Funny Car veteran is ready extend his points even more and put some distance between his nearest competitor come Sunday at the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
As the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing season is ramping up, John Force also remembers the last time he was at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was on this very spot that he locked up his 16th NHRA Mello Yello Funny Car world championship by beating daughter Courtney in the final round at the 13th annual Toyota NHRA Nationals back in late October of last year.
However, that was last year and if Force has learned anything over decades he has been competing as a driver, you’re only as good as your last win or, in John Force’s case, his last world championship.

HIGHT RACES TO VICTORY AT GATORNATIONALS FOR BRAND SOURCE!
GAINESVILLE, FL – Robert Hight qualified his Auto Club of Southern California Ford Mustang Funny Car in the No. 10 spot at the 
day’s end on Saturday, setting him up for what would be his first victory of the 2014 season. The Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals win put a 55” flat screen TV in the hands of Robert Houston of Gainesville, Fla., compliments of BrandSource and the “Win with Force” promotion. It was a lock for Houston considering Hight was racing JFR teammate John Force in the final.
“This win was huge. That guy (Force) has 16 championships and he is the best out here. To add to that he is driving for my old team. There was some added pressure there and it is hard to go up there and get motivated and do your best job. You just have to focus. I wasn’t as focused in the first round and semis as I should have been. I was alright in the second round,” said a fired up Hight from the winner’s circle.
“I got up for the final because I started to think about last year and not making the Traxxas Shootout. That was no fun to get to the US Nationals and not be running for the $100,000 prize at the Traxxas Shootout. We needed this win for the Auto Club. We got two finals in a row and now a win. This could not be a better start.”
HIGHT DOMINATES FIELD FOR SECOND GATORNATIONALS WIN
GAINESVILLE, FL – Robert Hight may not have had a strong two days of qualifying at the 45th annual Amalie Oil NHRA 
Gatornationals but when it counted his Auto Club Ford Mustang Funny Car was the class of the field winning for the first time in 2014. Hight reached the final two weeks ago in Phoenix but today he notched his thirtieth career win tying him with Funny Car legend Kenny Bernstein for sixth all-time in the Funny Car class. Hight outran John Force, 4.074 to 6.345 seconds.
“I can’t even believe my name is associated with guys like that. Guys like Kenny, John Force and Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme were my heroes. Kenny is a guy I always watched. He was always so professional. He was a businessman. He was one of my all-time favorites, He worked very hard to get where he was. To tie him with Funny Car wins is amazing. He is a four-time champion in Funny Car and I am trying to win my second,” said Hight.
TEAM FORCE GEARED UP FOR GATORNATIONALS AFTER STRONG SATURDAY

The 25-year-old started the day with a 4.131 ET at 308.85 mph and moved solidly into the show at the No. 7 spot and picking up three bonus points as the quickest Funny Car of the session.
