I've been a fan of John for years! I have talked to him a couple times in the pits at Indy and Chicago (Rt 66) He still has the passion to race and it's clear Ashley does too!
Ashley was mommy's girl not a driver she took care of her sisters more mom material then driver she's right where she belongs her sister Cortney was a Driver and threw I away to be a baby maker too.
I have to say she is a good role model for the sport all the little girls look up to her. when I was at Englishtown last weekend I noticed a lotta girls under the age of 13 with her dolls and stuff getting autographs from her. she is gonna to be a legend in this sport for years to come
@@stanleychurchill5185 Bull Crap if it's family or Team mate to get into the countdown he does care saw it with Tony Pendergon. And Tony knows for sure he drove for JFR.He saw it first hand
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.
Good to see great family competition . Bet he thought with all girls no one would take over his career.( Wrong) his girls have guts you go girl. Thank god they look like there mother.
The Force family are fantastic,.well done. I myself love watching drag racing. Although I am in England, I have been to a few drag meetings at Santa Pod, but I would love to see an American drag meet.
He asked on the Radio - before the race - Any chance of it lighting up the tires and said he was going for it - Ashley got lucky but she is a pro so congratulations to Ashley Force for finally beating her had.
I think it is wonderful that a woman who is intelligent and can carry herself well in interviews and with the public is such a big name in the sport. I hate that because of who your father is and because of how you look; you have to be second guessed. You have already proven yourself over and over again and I can't believe people would still question your skill. I am a new fan as I just went to the NHRA Southern Nationals yesterday, but am hooked. You have definitely gained a new fan!
Man she has just turned it around so much....maybe shell be like Angel Sampey with several championchips. I hope Ashley and John can keep doing this. But I am a little bummed thou...I didnt know Ashley was engaged....oh well
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.
Late to the party here but we love watching The Force family racing. This one was sort of not a race though in all honesty. Johns car took a crap right off the line so I don't really consider that a race. Happy for Ashley, don't get me wrong. I'd love to see a rematch of that but they didn't ask me!
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.
Doesn't matter if he threw the race or not..People are gonna say he did no matter what..The fact is none of the other drivers were fast enough 2 do anything about that it weekend
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 think this fix and a few others by JFR might be why Austin Coil left suddenly.He doesn’t seem like the type to fix races within the team.Coil wanted to outperform every other car by outrunning them.My opinion
In the history of Racing sports, I believe only 4 ladies have won either NASCAR, Indy cars, NHRA, Monster Jam, Super Motorcross, etc. are Danica Patrick (Indy cars), Ashley Force & Shirley (forgot last name) (NHRA)and Debra Micelli (Monster Jam)
Actually, all seven members of the Driving Force have won in the NHRA in the order of their victory: -Ashley Force-Hood -Courtney Force-Rahal -Erica Enders-Stevens -Alexis DeJoria -Angie Smith -Leah Pritchett ...and this year’s NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series Top Fuel Champion... -Brittany Force
What a co incedent a super chap had problems at start line and her girl goes righ to the finish line blewing tyres after finish little sketchy...it would better if it was neck in neck .....what now looks as a setup
John should've run a strong race to really give it to her. The 'force radio' blurb about tire smoking was a dead give away he was going to throw the race. I think she could've done it without the rollover by John. Maybe it was a way for Joh to keep face, but I think it was a disservice to Ashley. JMO.
Jeremy Strickland LOL 151 now! Now that he no longer is a test car for Ash and Court he can concentrate on keeping Brian entertained and winning championships. Still rather have those incredible girls back, though.
What A Set up he let her win she was never a great driver John let her win thats why he asked medlin if it would smoke the tires the was s reason he had it set up to smoke the tires that why they let you hear that they didn't think it would that was the key word he want to know they had it to smoke the tires he new all along as well as i did that was suppose to happen to make history for child and teams 😂
We enjoyed her tremendously. Wish she would return.

i was at this race, me and my friends were sitting right at the starting line, section A row 5. GRATZ ASHLEY!!!
Wow, another win great job Ashley! John P.
Wow, one of the BEST! John P.
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.
Don't know much about John Force. When that flopper comes down, he doesn't know, doesn't care who's in the other lane...........
@@stanleychurchill5185 Bull Crap if it's family or Team mate to get into the countdown he does care saw it with Tony Pendergon. And Tony knows for sure he drove for JFR.He saw it first hand
I miss Ashley. I love the Force family. Brittney is killing it in Top Fuel right now, and owns most of the national ET and speed records.
Always hear the adrenaline in the voice.. Badass!
Those 3 girls are badass!

he defiantly let her win
He, a veteran driver, also had a .170 light and made an immediate left turn towards the wall.
Nough said!
He threw it he did it in indy a year later remember that
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.

First comment!
Congrats to Ashley...I have a feeling she will have a longer and more successful career than Danica Patrick.
ashley kicks butt.My favorite drag racer!
You can't beat John as great Racer and Awesome Father!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😇😇😇
Way da go Ashley! Take out the champ in the final! Kind of a shame that Brittany and Courtney weren't there.
they were and they were in on the proposal. The Atlanta Win was also the day that Ashley got her ring and Daniel proposed to her.
both legends
Good to see great family competition . Bet he thought with all girls no one would take over his career.( Wrong) his girls have guts you go girl. Thank god they look like there mother.
This family redefines awesome!!!
It's only right she won..

LOVE in BOTH LANES!!!!
John does Not let his daughters beat him on purpose, he races to win=(
The Record states otherwise.
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.

Lol. John throws races and always drives to the wall. I wouldnt sponsor him
I love how she touched her hat every 2 seconds. I'm very happy for her, congrats Ashley!
ashley kicks ass.what a gal!
i was there when she did that! and i am going to put on the video that i took on my phone of her win. so look for it!

I think John let her win
Ashley is the first... For some reason I thought Muldowney won at least once in Funny Car.

Good job!
Классная девушка. Долгих лет.
Rock n roll baby girl ! ❤
Shake but don't bake Ashley. I love John Force and his girls.
i kinda do want to see ashley n courtney force
One Fast Beautiful Beauty..
Team racing coming to NHRA.
does anyone know the race where they talk about Daniel hood & ashley or their engagement? John claims he set it all up?
Hell yeah 🦋
She’s so subdued, in the winner’s circle. Nothing like her dad, at all.
that race was also the day Daniel Hood proposes to Ashley
? ?
@@ronaldrigdon6167 the story goes Ashley wins Atlanta and Daniel Hood proposes to her up on the stand when she gets her trophy.
You know John got off the throttle
I RECKON DAD LET HER WIN . AND SAYING DO YOU THINK THE TYRES MIGHT NOT GRIP WAS A GIVE AWAY . AND IF I HAD BEEN HIM I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME .
@ACDCsuperfan91 John Force would never lift - ever - not even for his mother - that is cheating.
Damn skippy......and anyone who's followed John's career would know that............
Nah, he’s had plenty of records, you know he wanted her to win this!
she is bangin
Ashley Force is A Very Brave And Beautiful Lady!.... she's much braver than I cohort ever be..... she's pretty tough.....😁

She is much more praiseworthy than Danica. Go Ashley
danica sucks
I think this fix and a few others by JFR might be why Austin Coil left suddenly.He doesn’t seem like the type to fix races within the team.Coil wanted to outperform every other car by outrunning them.My opinion
i would agree with you on that point, but it was a victory for the team and thats all john would care about especially since it was his daughter,
In the history of Racing sports, I believe only 4 ladies have won either NASCAR, Indy cars, NHRA, Monster Jam, Super Motorcross, etc. are Danica Patrick (Indy cars), Ashley Force & Shirley (forgot last name) (NHRA)and Debra Micelli (Monster Jam)
There are alot more females to win races than that in NHRA.
Shirley Muldowney
Actually, all seven members of the Driving Force have won in the NHRA in the order of their victory:
-Ashley Force-Hood
-Courtney Force-Rahal
-Erica Enders-Stevens
-Alexis DeJoria
-Angie Smith
-Leah Pritchett
...and this year’s NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series Top Fuel Champion...
-Brittany Force
I guess. I know Muldowney ran funny car though... Until her fire.
Cristen Powell was the first in 1997 at the Mopar parts nationals.
Atta girl!
Rocket on Rolls
What seen John shut it down let daughter win
with a teacher like that how can you not win, lol
7:15 close your eyes and its Brittany talking lol.
Ashley is crazy HOT
haha...she was so nervous with her cap.
She earned it.
Dad ate one for his daughter,don’t blame him!
the old bastard threw the race for her. it was a hell of a situation to be in but any good dad would have done the same thing.
DAMN SHE TALKS JUST LIKE HER DAD
LOL I kinda noticed that myself.
I miss John's Castrol sponsorship
yepper the cars looked better and with ford on it as well
Barrier Cream, Safety Thirst!
I can still count to Two,Bad
5:51.
Ah common , he let her win, force is force
I wonder if John pulls punches for his little girl.
John gave it to her.
What a co incedent a super chap had problems at start line and her girl goes righ to the finish line blewing tyres after finish little sketchy...it would better if it was neck in neck .....what now looks as a setup
its unburned fuel coming out of the headers.

John had problems the whole time
everybody knows john dumped tat race was a no brainer
Keep up the great run show. These. Men. Us woman can get. Down and. . dirty. Wfo 💯🦋 hell yeah 🦋
wearing her dads helmut????
And i wanna thank my dad for having his car tuned to blow off the tires to ensure my win.
So true it's not even funny but u kno wat thats wat family's supposed to do its her father I would expect nothing less
yeah and hillary clinton lost on purpose too...lol
LINDY UVY LoL
"John Force is done" ! Good job ,Ashley !!
you lost your fucking mind done my ass 16 time champ and 150 wins fuck off
Jeremy Strickland LOL 151 now! Now that he no longer is a test car for Ash and Court he can concentrate on keeping Brian entertained and winning championships. Still rather have those incredible girls back, though.
he tanked it like he does ever other race with his team
I think he smoked tires deliberately
I don't know I kind of think he did that on purpose we never know though
Daddy let the daughter win
She didn’t win, John just lost.
The reason it looks suspicious to me is the late reaction time from John .170 is kinda weak.
What A Set up he let her win she was never a great driver John let her win thats why he asked medlin if it would smoke the tires the was s reason he had it set up to smoke the tires that why they let you hear that they didn't think it would that was the key word he want to know they had it to smoke the tires he new all along as well as i did that was suppose to happen to make history for child and teams 😂
He all ways has bad luck with his car when he races his little girl and loses! 🤔 I have my Ashlie Cine too ,so I understand!
It was rigged
I wish my dad drove funny cars...My dad drives trucks.
BTW I'd love to tap that.
