J. FORCE, ASHLEY, STANFIELD AND HERRERA WIN MISSION #2FAST2TASTY NHRA CHALLENGE AT INDY
INDIANAPOLIS – Funny Car legend John Force claimed his first win in the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge, defeating back-to-back 
world champ Ron Capps in the final round on Saturday at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park as part of this weekend’s 69th annual Dodge Power Brokers NHRA U.S. Nationals.
Justin Ashley (Top Fuel), Aaron Stanfield (Pro Stock) and Gaige Herrera (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won the Mission #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge at the world’s biggest drag race in Indy.
Force went 3.989-seconds at 328.78 mph in his 11,000-horsepower PEAK Chevrolet Camaro SS to defeat Capps, picking up the victory in the bonus race for the first time in 2023. Force knocked off teammate Robert Hight earlier in the day before getting past his longtime rival in the finals, adding another chapter to his rich Indy legacy.
“I want to win the Mission deal, but it was an opportunity that I got away with it,” Force said. “You just do what you do and attack it. I’m not saying what I do is right, it’s just what I do. Some days, the good Lord lets me get away with it, and I did today. It was good to come in here to Indy and be able to do your job at my age. I ain’t great, but I’m good enough to be here, and I’m going to get better. I have a lot of work to do, but I’m no spring chicken. I’ve won Indy five times, but it was a good feeling to do this.”
BRITTANY FORCE AND FLAV-R-PAC NO. 2 AFTER DAY ONE AT U.S. NATIONALS
INDIANAPOLIS – Brittany Force and the Flav-R-Pac / Monster Energy Chevrolet dragster team are sitting in the provisional No. 2 
qualifying spot Friday at the Dodge Power Brokers NHRA U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. Robert Hight and the Cornwell Tools / AAA Chevy Camaro SS team are also No. 2 in Funny Car while Austin Prock and the Montana Brand / Rocky Mountain Twist team will start day two from the No. 10 spot.

Brittany Force and the Flav-R-Pac team laid down a stellar 3.709-second pass at 333.25 mph that narrowly landed them in the No. 2 spot. Force missed the top by just .001 seconds.
“First qualifying session at the ‘Big Go’ and this Flav-R-Pac / Monster Energy team laid down a solid 3.709 currently putting us in the No. 2 position. That was a great start to a big weekend and this team really needed that run,” said Force who is chasing her third-consecutive No. 1 qualifying position at the U.S. Nationals. “We now feel solidly locked into the show to push this car and see where its limits are on this racetrack tomorrow and Sunday. This team needs a solid weekend, start to finish, to move us up in points and a position before everything resets for the Countdown.”
JOHN FORCE AND PEAK CHEVY HOPE TO HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE AT U.S. NATIONALS
INDIANAPOLIS – John Force and the PEAK Antifreeze and Coolant Chevrolet Camaro SS team are looking for a victory at the Dodge 
Power Brokers NHRA U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, the final event of the Camping World Drag Racing Series regular season, to be just the performance boost they need heading into Countdown to the Championship.
This will be Force’s 43rd career appearance at the US Nationals. He shares with Ed McCulloch the record for most Funny Car victories at the US Nationals with five coming in 1993, 1996, 1998, 2002, and 2019. He has qualified No. 1 at the U.S. Nationals more often than at any other tour event – at total of 12 times (1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2021). Last year at Indianapolis Raceway Park, after qualifying fourth, he reached the semifinals before losing to Ron Capps.
“Busy weekend for the U.S. Nationals, always is, as it should be. Biggest race of the year, biggest drag race in the world. We have to act like it too,” Force said. “There’s a lot of opportunities to celebrate with the Mission Foods Challenge and the Pep Boys Callout. That’s before we even get to race day. This PEAK Chevy, we’ll be looking to get the job done for all our sponsors. A lot of them in town for our sponsor summit earlier in the week. It’s going to be exciting, a great show for the fans. I’m looking forward to it.”
ROBERT HIGHT AND CORNWELL TOOLS READY TO FACE U.S. NATIONALS HEAD-ON
INDIANAPOLIS – Robert Hight and the Cornwell Tools / AAA Chevrolet Camaro SS team have momentum on their side as they head into 
this weekend’s Dodge Power Brokers NHRA U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
Hight currently is third in Camping World points standings and owes his positioning in part to early season success picking up wins at the Arizona Nationals and Charlotte Four-Wide events. He also has three No.1. qualifiers from the Route 66 Nationals, Thunder Valley Nationals, and Heartland Nationals, the latter was his 80th career No. 1 starting spot. After a runner-up finish at the most recent event at Brainerd International Raceway and a match race victory at Night Under Fire, Hight and the Cornwell Tools team have had a recent surge in performance thanks to the tunings of crew chief Jimmy Prock and co-assistant crew chiefs Thomas Prock and Nate Hildahl.
“When you have a crew chief like Jimmy Prock and a team that has won championships, you just believe in them. And I do, I believe in this whole Cornwell Tools team and I’m doing my part, so I know it’s coming. We’re chasing more wins. I know they’re coming, and they’ll be coming at just the right time. We know it’s going to be a fight, but we have the opportunity this weekend to make up some ground and give ourselves the best position possible going into the Countdown,” Hight said. “We tested Monday in Brainerd to get this Cornwell Tools Chevy where it needs to be for the biggest race of the year and into the Countdown. I’m confident, this team is confident. We’re just ready to get out there.”
AUSTIN PROCK AND MONTANA BRAND UP FOR CHALLENGE OF U.S. NATIONALS
INDIANAPOLIS – Austin Prock and the Montana Brand / Rocky Mountain Twist Chevrolet dragster team enter the final race of the regular 
season, the Dodge Power Brokers NHRA U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, sitting sixth in the Camping World Drag Racing Series points standings. With points and a half on the line ahead of the reset for the NHRA Countdown to the Championship, Prock and company will be looking to make an impact on the standings.
In his 2019 debut season, Prock was a semifinalist at the U.S. Nationals after qualifying the Montana Brand / Rocky Mountain Twist dragster in the No. 12 spot. In only his second start at the world’s biggest drag race last season, Prock qualified 14th and had a first-round exit. The result had little effect on the resilient team. They would go on to finish third in the Camping World standings thanks to a sensational Countdown in which the Montanan Brand team went to three finals and won twice after starting the playoffs from the No. 12 position, equaling the biggest start-to-finish improvement in history.
“I’m excited for the biggest race of the year. This Montana Brand / Rocky Mountain Twist team is putting in the work to make sure we can battle with the rest of them. We will have a few new faces on our team this weekend, but we are not new to battling adversity. These small setbacks only make us stronger as a team. I believe we have a strong chance at leaving here with the hardware.”
BRITTANY FORCE AND FLAV-R-PAC READY TO ATTACK U.S. NATIONALS
INDIANAPOLIS – Brittany Force and the Flav-R-Pac / Monster Energy Chevrolet dragster team enter NHRA’s biggest drag race, the Dodge 
Power Brokers U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis Raceway Park, sitting fourth in the points standings and, with points and a half on the line, are looking to make a last-minute jump to better their championship chances before the points reset for the Countdown to the Championship.
Force is trying to qualify her David Grubnic-tuned Flav-R-Pac dragster No. 1 at “The Big Go” for the fourth consecutive time while looking for a breakthrough first Top Fuel victory for John Force Racing at the event. She has been to the final round of the U.S. Nationals each of the last two years and set the Indianapolis Raceway Park track record for time and speed at 3.640 seconds and 337.75 mph last season.
“Heading into the biggest race of the season, the U.S. Nationals in Indy this weekend and we’re sitting fourth in points. We’ve come very close to winning this event with two runner-up finishes but this Flav-R-Pac / Monster Energy team is looking to seal the deal and end up in the winners circle this year,” Force said. “It’s the final race before points reset so our team needs to grab as many points as we can to close the gap as much as possible. It’s points and a half with an extra qualifying session so we’re going to try and really take advantage. Our goals haven’t changed, we want to qualify top five, and have clean and solid passes every run. We’re looking for a winners circle finish.”
