JJ Soto+Follow😏 Real Talk: The Force Family Was Always More Funny Car Than Top FuelSay what you want, but the Force DNA is Funny Car. John built a literal dynasty out of nitro floppers. Courtney raced Funny Car. Robert Hight’s a Funny Car monster. Even John’s interviews are more chaotic, over-the-top — perfect fit for the class that’s basically a carnival on asphalt. Yeah, Brittany proved they could dominate Top Fuel. But if you close your eyes and picture “John Force Racing”? You see bodies blowing off, massive header flames, and John hopping around on the starting line like he forgot where he parked. Not knocking their Top Fuel at all. Just saying… if racing had Hogwarts houses, Force is 100% housed under Funny Car. Tell me I’m wrong. #NHRA #DragRacing #FunnyCar #JohnForce #HotTake1029Share
Brianna Hernandez+FollowWhy Even If You Hate Them, You Gotta Respect John Force RacingI know some people get sick of hearing “Force this, Force that.” Maybe they don’t like John’s circus act, the endless interviews, or the fact JFR eats up so much TV time. But here’s the raw truth: You wouldn’t even HAVE the modern NHRA without John Force Racing. In the rough 2000s when sponsorship dollars dried up, John kept bringing them back. His team showed how to work a midway, keep fans buying tickets, and keep sponsors on the cars. He didn’t just pad his own stats — he carried the whole damn show. Look at Brittany. Look at how many young drivers JFR gave shots to. Look at the families in the pits wearing Force shirts generation after generation. You don’t have to like them. Hell, you can root against them every final round. But if you love drag racing at all? You owe them a debt of respect. #NHRA #DragRacing #JohnForce #Legacy #RealTalk32431Share
W.J. Morris+FollowI would never forget...Ran into John Force in the pits at Pomona — literally almost ran into him, I was staring at a blower rebuild. He laughed, slapped me on the back, said “Keep lookin’, kid. That’s where the magic is.” Kid. I’m nearly 60. Never been more honored to be called a kid. #NHRA #DragRacing #JohnForce #PitLife #NeverTooOld200Share
JJ Soto+FollowWatching Force’s latest interview… this sport will never have another like himSaw the CBS piece with John Force talking about his health and what keeps him chasing 330 at damn near 75. You could tell he’s wrestling with how long he can keep doing this. Made me genuinely sad. The man is NHRA for a lot of us. There’ll be killer drivers forever, but nobody’s gonna have the same mad preacher energy, the goofy sponsor rants, the broken sentences that still somehow hype you up. Hope he sticks around the pits even after he hangs it up. Sport needs that spirit. #JohnForce #NHAR #DragRacing #Legend 33724Share
