    What I find amazing is how John's car goes down right after take off and still goes over the finish line with a faster time than most sport cars.

    Just noticed people speculating about whether or not John "threw" the race by smoking the tires. Whether or not the car smokes the tires is mainly about the setup. If you're too aggressive on the setup, you risk that. If you're not aggressive enough on the setup, you're not fast enough to win. It's a razor edge setup issue. When the lights come on, if you're the driver, you just hit the throttle. Smoking the tires is always a risk in a final. You have to hit it "just right" to win. Very difficult. Also, don't forget, it was hard for both drivers to race their way into the final. Whoever wins, deserves it.

      John did not throw the race. (well he might have) but that was the idea John was in on Daniel's proposal and part of the surprise was Ashley had to race her dad not just for the trophy but the ring on her finger. After Ashley won and went up on the medal stand Danial Hood got on one knee and proposed to her and she said yes. Long story short Danial Hood and Ashley got married and the rest is Team Force history.

      and there was another reason why John let Ashley beat him you know Danny Hood he is John's crew chief and he is also Ashley's husband it is this race Atlanta 2008 where Danny Hood proposes to Ashley and Ashley makes history. After this race Team Force went to celebrate at Tahoe and Ashley married Danny and as they say the rest is Team Force history. Ashley is now the general manager and sr. editor for Team Force and now her sons and niece they are where Ashley was back in 2004 driving Supercomp cars and soon they will be headed to Dragster. The next generation of Team Force has already begun.

    It sucks when John Force says pre-race to one of the crew members over the radio,”Hey Is There Any Chance Of Us Smoking The Tires?” Um hello that screams fixed race right there for me & I get it Johnny Force is a 16 time funny car champion & wants to see his baby girl Ashley win & my Beautiful Daughter has the same Beautiful name and spelling so just hearing the name “ASHLEY” Raises the hairs on the back of my neck but John Force has been known to fix a few races & it's so much more noticeable in drag racing than it is in drag racing than it is in oval track racing in most cases, not all clearly but most imo. Take care my racing friends & all of humanity as I write this on “May.25.2020” in this crazy CRAZY WORLD 🌍 And this “Covid-19 ~ Epidemic” and I truly hope that the whole World can finally come together and look at one another regardless of race or religion. I live in Windsor,Ontario,Canada which is right across the river from Detroit Rock City and Motown and I consider my American neighbours close friends and have American Friends close to Chicago and my Dear Sister Tonya who live outside of Baltimore,Maryland in a small community called Glen Bernie,Maryland so you better take care of my dear Sister my Brother In-Law :-) God Bless Each And Everyone One Of You’s Out There In This World Who Actually Have A Heart ❤️ And A Consciences,.......Cheers From Canada 🇨🇦

      I believe Shirley Muldowny won in top fuel rail cars with 3 championships I believe which is unbelievable. I love both drag racing & nascar & grew up watching both & pit crewing in both & I understand the passion for both sports & it was so cool when John Force took a Buck Baker NASCAR School back in the 90’s I believe it was & Buck Baker said John was clowning around all the time & it was kinda disturbing Buck how he wasn’t taking it serious but come time to go into the class part & getting in the car & listening on the in car radio Buck Baker said John was all business & had a totally different appreciation for NASCAR & how hot & fast & the concentration that goes into it for 3-4hrs really took John back.
