JOHN FORCE WINS AAA INSURANCE MIDWEST NATIONALS FAN WIN TV
MADISON, IL – John Force picked up his 136th career Funny Car win today at the second annual AAA Insurance NHRA 
Midwest Nationals at Gateway Motorsports Park. This is JFR’s sixth win of the season; the second for driver of the Castrol GTX Ford Mustang Funny Car and fifteen-time world champion, John Force.
The 17-time championship team was able to give away a 55” flat screen TV to lucky fan Marsha Smith of Philo, Ill. compliments of BrandSource and the “Win with Force” promotion.
“We are working as a team and it is really cool. I have been struggling on the tree and Robert Hight has been working with me on getting me comfortable in the car. I gave away two trophies for this win. I gave one to Jim McGrath, the president of AAA Missouri and one to Jimmy Prock,” said Force, from the winner’s circle stage. “I also gave away a flat screen TV thanks to Brandsource. This is the second win for me this season and second TV I have been able to win for a fan. The fans are why we are out here so this is awesome.”
Force took out Chad Head, Ron Capps, teammate and son-in-law Robert Hight, and Jack Beckman to pick up the win. His day consisted of 4.038, 4.095, 4.111 and a 4.097 second passes, giving the Castrol GTX team an average ET of 4.085 for race day.
