John is just John, rambles on and says the strangest shit. I wouldn’t give credence to any of it.

Love Him or Hate him.
John Force is one of the Great Racing stories of all time.
Grows up dirt poor to become one of the All Time greats.
While also raising a Family..... And the Family is still together and now Racing.
Not many can say that...
A tip of the Hat and a raise of the Glass to him.
Well done John...

Funny you would say that as I was talking just last night about him with a buddy who knows his story very well.
And you are pretty accurate...

He’s not poor anymore. He’s king of the hill here in Yorba Linda. 😉😛

Where he grew up? If so it was in a trailer park in Bell Guardens, he actually survived polio if I remember correctly

Very well may be a fake account. However, the IHRA Facebook Page has her tagged

She posted on her story on Instagram a month or two ago that any FaceBook account associated with her is fake. She only posts to Twitter and Instagram.

Doesn’t mean the info could be accurate. It’s just not her posting.

John Force has not officially announced anything regarding retirement. He has however been released from the rehab facility in Phoenix and will return to his California home where he will continue his recovery in outpatient therapy. Austin Prock was always intended to be John's replacement if and when John finally decides to hang-up his fire suit. Hope to see John back at a race track soon!

Was there this weekend and got a front row view of them them tearing it down and rebuilding and then firing the motor after their qualifying pass on Saturday. Won't let me post the video but it was quite amazing to watch them tear down, rebuild and fire it up in a little over 30 minutes
