Post-Race Driver Quotes:
AUSTIN PROCK, DRIVER OF THE CORNWELL TOOLS CHEVROLET SS FUNNY CAR FOR
JOHN FORCE RACING:
“While we didn’t want to win it this way, but a championship’s a
championship. This was out of your hands. As dominant as this Cornwell
Quality Tools team was all year, we deserved it, and I think everybody
in the pits could probably say the same. We went out there, we won nine
of 19 and went to I think 12 finals and handful of number one
qualifiers. We had a dominant Prock Rocket all year, and I’m so proud to
say that we are two-time champs that is going to be next to my name, but
it should be next to everybody on this team. They did a phenomenal job,
and they deserved it! My dad, my brother, and the entire team put a
great race car underneath me and let me go out there and showcase my
talents. And that package all together equals two times. Awesome.”
BRITTANY FORCE, DRIVER OF THE MONSTER ENERGY CHEVROLET DRAGSTER FOR JOHN
FORCE RACING:
“I always try to find the positive in everything. And this weekend,
with Ponona being awash, with the rain, and the event getting canceled,
I look back on Las Vegas the last time, my last pass down the drag
strip, we turned a windlight on and ended up in the winterter circle, so
that’s where my focus is. I’m really proud of everything, this monster
energy team has accomplished this season, everything John first.
racing’s accomplished. Jack Beckman did an amazing job in the seat this
year. Again, did an amazing job in the seat. Austin Prock getting
bringing home his second championship, and everybody under the John
Force racing umbrella, none of this would be possible without every
single individual.”
JACK BECKMAN, DRIVER OF THE PEAK ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANTS CHEVROLET SS
FUNNY CAR FOR JOHN FORCE RACING:
“Unfortunately, we aren’t in charge of the weather, right? Some
things in life, it is what it is. It’s very disappointing, especially
home track and the success that I’ve experienced out here the last four
times I’ve been here. But I can’t change history. I can’t change the
weather. I’m sure that it was anguishing for NHRA to make that decision,
fairly unprecedented to cancel a race, not postpone, and not see a pro
car go down the racetrack, the entire duration of the event. Strange
times we live in. And what are you gonna do about it? All right? We’ll
pack up and we’ll unload again for preseasons and testing, and we’ll do
it all over again in 2026.”
