SUNDAY – T-PED STILL THE MAN, HEAD’S TRIBUTE 

FINAL SESSION FEELS GOOD TO TONY – Beaten by older brother Cruz Pedregon in their Skoal Showdown match up, Tony Pedregon found solace in the heat of the day during his final qualifying run.

“That last run that we just made in the heat, we’re going to have similar conditions tomorrow, that’s encouraging to me,” Pedregon admitted after watching Cruz win the Skoal Showdown over Tim Wilkerson. “To run low ET in the evening when the conditions are there is one thing, but we’re not going to be racing in that, so I feel good.”

Out of the Showdown, in the field and secure in the Chase, Tony’s thoughts have turned to maintain his current points position as the schedule moves to the final six events of the year.

“Our approach in that session was we wanted to get down the track. We really didn’t have a lot to lose coming into this race because we’re in the Countdown. We know at worst we are going to be third, but we really want to hold onto that second spot going into Charlotte.”

WILKERSON THE DRIVER, NOT ACCOUNTANT – Upon scoring a final round in the U.S. Smokeless Funny Car Showdown, Tim Wilkerson showed his emotion and figuring talents to top-end announcer Alan Reinhart.

"That’s about $10 a foot," Wilkerson beamed, as he discussed the $100,000 payout for the race-within-a-race.

A quick-witted Reinhart seized upon the opportunity.

"Can I have the change?" Reinhart asked.

TRY THAT ONE AT THE BANK – Reinhart wasn’t finished there.

Following the skydiver’s delivery of the $100,000 prize, Reinhart surprised the winner Cruz Pedregon with the following request.

"Can I see some ID?" Reinhart asked.

A stunned Pedregon responded, "Uh, this Advance Auto Parts across my chest will be my ID and my name here."

We’ll keep that in mind Cruz.

FORCE APOLOGIZES – For the second year in a row the winningest driver in NHRA history will be on the sidelines at the biggest race of the season as John Force missed qualifying for the race by less than four hundredths of a second. At the top end of the race track a dejected Force was apologetic to the fans but also reminded them that there is more than one Force to be reckoned with in the NHRA.

“John Force personally isn’t racing but my name is out there with Ashley. That is why I have a multi-car team. Robert Hight is out there and so is Mike Neff so I will be racing as an owner just not a driver. I was given every opportunity by the NHRA and POWERade that they give you to come here to the greatest show on Earth,” said a visibly upset driver. “I hurt inside and for my sponsors but we’ll move on tomorrow. At the end of the day I feel that I have let the fans down. I think that is what hurts the most. John Force, he ain’t dead yet.”

Force’s focus will shift to cheerleading for his three Next Generation drivers and making a run at his 15th Funny Car POWERade championship.

“We are in the Countdown. We didn’t win the Shootout. I’ll be going here to new race track out east of here…where in the hell is it…Charlotte. I’m just a little bit on the tires,” said Force. “Thank you to the fans that love us. I know we have a few out there. Don’t forget the Force name is going to be out there a long time because Brittany and Courtney are coming right behind Ashley.” 

HONORING THE LEGENDS –

THE ARTFUL DODGER – For a while last month, Robert Hight couldn’t seem to get away from publicity associated with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Harry Lasorda, who is the brother of legendary Dodgers skipper, was at the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals and asked Hight for a business card. Hight obliged and didn’t think much of the request.

Last week Hight celebrated his birthday by attending a Dodgers game. He was on the way to the game when Harry called and asked him to take down Tommy’s cell phone and give him a call.

Yes, Tommy Lasorda wanted Hight to call him. The baseball icon wanted to meet the drag racing superstar.

“I got to go into his office and kinda told me some stories about the pictures on his wall — Frank Sinatra and Ronald Reagan and all these famous people,” Hight said. “His office overlooks all of Dodger Stadium so he can see the games.”

Hight conveyed that Tommy Lasorda is a huge drag racing fan.

“He’s interested in our sport and we’re going to try to get him out to Pomona to the World Finals,” Hight said. “So that was like a real honor, quite a birthday present. We’re going to be running the Dodger car the last race of the year maybe we can get him out there. It would be fun.”

He’s not exactly buddy-buddy with Tommy Lasorda yet.

“I wouldn’t say buddy-buddy,” Hight said. “But, I tell you what, he’s a real personable guy. He fell in love with my daughter. She got to take pictures with him and he was giving my daughter things. It was just a fun time.”

This experience is actually what Hight labels as a dream come true.

“I wrote to him when I was ten years old,” Hight recalled. “I told him how cool it was for a ten year old to get a letter, a reply, from him. So, to get to meet him at Dodger Stadium and hopefully to have him come out and watch our sport and learn about NHRA drag racing and run the Dodger car; I still can’t believe that I am getting to do what I do; to drive Funny Cars and meet people like Tommy Lasorda.”

SENDING A MESSAGE? – Struggling through the final rounds of qualifying for the prestigious U.S. Nationals, four-time NHRA champion Gary Scelzi missed qualifying for the Funny Car field today, driving the Mopar/Oakley Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car.

"You know, I wanted to be one of those guys who can win [here] in Top Fuel and win in Funny Car and it’s not meant to be. And, I tell you what, it didn’t really hit me until I just made this corner," said a disappointed Scelzi after exiting the car at the top end. "It’s pretty upsetting. This is a big race. If you can’t win the championship you want to win the U.S. Nationals and we’re not going to do it."

A dejected Scelzi was asked by top-end announcer Alan Reinhart whether this was his last opportunity to win an Indy Funny Car title.

“Could be,” Scelzi responded, fueling speculation about his future.

SATURDAY -IS THE CONCERT OVER FOR THE ROCKSTAR?

T-PED ON TOP – Tony Pedregon has been holding back.

That’s how the defending NHRA Funny Car champion described his jump to the top of the Funny Car list during Saturday qualifying.

“We knew the conditions were very good,” Pedregon said. “We’ve been too conservative for the last, really, dozen races. We figured it would go and smoke the tires and it went.”

THE LIFE OF A ROCK STAR – Jerry Toliver admits his buddy

Alan Johnson will be besieged with applicants in the next few days. That’s why he’ll likely hold off submitting one.

Johnson announced on Saturday in Indianapolis that he plans to leave Don Schumacher Racing to field his own nitro team in partnership with Al-Anabi Motorsports. The new team will have a dragster and a Funny Car.

“You never know, we’ll see what happens over there,” Toliver said. “Knowing Alan, it’s going to be a great running organization and I think he’ll have a good time.”

Toliver isn’t sure if there’s an opportunity for him with Johnson at this point and time.

“We’ll see, we haven’t talked about it much,” Toliver added.

Toliver confirmed his status with Don Schumacher Racing is uncertain at this time.

Sources have told CompetitionPlus.com that Rockstar (Energy Drink) will not return in 2009. Reportedly, this decision weighed heavily on the NHRA’s reluctance to enable the team to activate their marketing programs at the NHRA event.

“Everything is kind of in the mix,” Toliver said. “We’ll find out more next week.”

Toliver didn’t say whether the promotional restrictions the NHRA has handed down attributed to the uncertainty.

“It limits what we can do activation-wise,” Toliver said. “That is certainly one of the reasons why ROCKSTAR is here. It doesn’t help us and we’ll just have to see if ROCKSTAR wants to go forward from here.”

Toliver told CompetitionPlus.com that wherever he goes he can take the Rockstar deal with him and is not prevented from switching teams.

FRIDAY -HIGHT PLEASANTLY SURPRISED; NO MORE FUNNY CAR SHOWDOWN?

SURPRISE, SURPRISE – Robert Hight likes a pleasant surprise as much as the next person. Friday night’s pace-setting 4.114

elapsed time at 297.48 was more than the John Force Racing driver bargained for.

“What is funny was when I did my top end interview I didn’t know I was number one. When you shut off at 1,000 feet now you can see the scoreboard and I thought I ran a 4.14 but it was 4.114. I just saw the last two digits,” said Hight. “I was still happy with that. (Jack) Beckman had run a 4.13 in front of us and then when (Tim) Wilkerson ran a 4.13 behind us I thought we are in good shape in the number three spot. My guys said we held onto number one and I looked at the time slip and I was like wow we ran 4.11. It was kind of a surprise.”

The former crewman for team owner John Force is already getting into the racing groove and handling the pressure of being on the biggest drag racing stage.

“You still get the same kind of nerves that I had the year before when I won the race. This is Indy. Even (teammate and rookie) Mike Neff said he felt the pressure. You don’t really understand it until you are sitting in the car and driving it. This is big. When you are actually here everybody is different,” said Hight. “The announcers sound more excited. Everybody is excited. This year is cool. I am glad they moved the countdown away from the Indy race. We can get through this race. There is enough going on at Indy anyway.”

BETTER ENJOY IT – An era may be over, or at least it seems that way.

Andy Hoefer, Director of Marketing for United States Smokeless Tobacco, confirmed that currently there are no plans for his company to return as sponsor for the $100,000-to-win United States Smokeless Showdown in 2009.

“We are considering a new program and looking at all options,” Hoefer said. “We are trying to come up with a program that benefits the NHRA and United States Smokeless. We look forward to figuring that out. We’ll talk about it and decide what to do at a later date.”

Unsubstantiated rumors suggested Skoal approached the NHRA about an increased payout of upwards in the $1 Million range for the special race-within-a-race based on qualifying.

“There is nothing that I am aware of,” Hoefer responded when asked.

 

IN SECURELY –

SCOTT WOULD’VE BEEN PROUD – Jeff Arend’s 4.193 elapsed time was only good enough to put him in the seventh spot in

 

provisional qualifying, but the lap was as good as the top spot in his heart.

Arend made his debut as the driver of the Kalitta Motorsports Funny Car, the same ride Scott Kalitta made famous.

The experience left Arend feeling both apprehensive and cautious in the same token.

“There were a lot of emotions involved,” Arend said. “I never tried to fill his footsteps, and as I sat in his lounge – I felt kind of awkward. It’s a big honor to drive for the Kalitta family. Now that we’ve made a few laps, and the pressure is off, you really see just how great of a group of people they are. I’ve never met such a friendly and professional group.”

Arend admits he walked gingerly through the first part of the association. A part of him wanted to celebrate his appointment and a large part wanted to be respectful of how he attained the position.

“I just understand I have a job to do and we’ll have more fun once things get to rolling,” Arend added. “You can see the emotions changing from sorrow to excitement about racing. This is how you heal.”

A major step in the healing process would be to win a race this year. Winning a race is something Arend believes is within the realm of reality.

“You can see the excitement in Connie’s eyes and up until now, I hadn’t talked to him a lot,” Arend admitted. “He’s excited about it and that’s great to see.”

Arend’s paths had actually passed with Scott Kalitta before this weekend’s debut.

The same chassis that Kalitta used to win his first national event in 1989 was the same one that Arend used to win Reading in 1989.

Arend believes this team is capable of winning in 2008 and it’s not a matter of if they will when but rather when they will win.

“I think that we have a great team and it wouldn’t surprise me,” Arend said. “I think we have more than enough to win with.”

 

 

NEW FACE

YEAH, SCHOOL’S BACK IN – Some things a driver never forgets and for Frank Hawley, he’s well schooled on the value of the

NHRA U.S. Nationals, the race recognized as NHRA’s oldest and most prestigious.

It’s been a long time since Hawley raced a Funny Car at this event, nearly a quarter of a century. Back then, the accomplished drag racing school owner drove the Chi-Town Hustler Funny Car tuned by Austin Coil.

So what brings him back? The opportunity to drive a competitive race car – the Rite Aid Pharmacy Dodge Charger R/T for the new multi-car R2B2 Racing team – lured him from his full time job as the proprietor of Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School.

Even though he’s only entered four races this season, Hawley and the Brownsburg, Ind.-based team displayed their competitive mettle with a strong runner-up finish at Reading, Pa. (Aug. 17). It marked Hawley’s first Funny Car final since 1984 and his first final round since 1991, when he was a Top Fuel driver.

“When I think about the U.S. Nationals, I think about winning the first Big Bud Shootout (1982, now the U.S. Smokeless Showdown) in Funny Car,” Hawley said. “And I was runner-up to Joe Amato in Top Fuel (1990) when I was driving Darrell Gwynn’s car.

“I’ve never won that race … and it would be very, very exciting do it this year. Whoever wins it will have earned it because the Funny Car category is very competitive.”

Coming off a runner-up finish two weekends ago in Reading, Hawley and his team is pumped. Not a bad return for a team that had been idle for two months.

“When the car runs good, people say the crew chief or the driver did a good job,” Hawley commented, “but at Reading every guy on this team, no matter what his job, did it perfectly, or we would’ve had problems. I was really pleased with the performance of our car.

“Aaron Brooks is our crew chief and he obviously made the right tune-up calls and Rob Centorbi is the assistant crew chief and the rest of the guys – Cameron Moore, Ryan Pethel, Thom Whybrew, Todd Veney, Tyler Doyle and Nate Archambault – deserve all the credit. They did a fantastic job.”

Hawley is presently 18th headed into Saturday’s qualifying. 

 

NOT TICKLED PINK –

 

DESIGNING WOMAN – Ashley Force knows all about getting from point A to B on the race track. The 2007 rookie of the

year is one of the most consistent drivers on the track and one of the busiest spokespersons away from it.

The soon to be newlywed will be telling viewers on behalf of sponsor

Sanyo about getting to the finish line when it comes to installing the

ultimate home theater for a special holiday edition of the Designing

Spaces television program.

Force wrapped up filming for Designing Spaces, a 30 minutes show that

inspires viewers to make every space count and enjoy the space they

live in, the Tuesday before the 54th annual Mac Tools US Nationals from

the production studios in Florida. The self proclaimed “shy Force” was

at ease in front of the camera talking about a topic that the

California home-body is very excited about.

“I watch all the home improvement shows like Designing Spaces. I am not

a big clothes shopper. I’d rather go to BrandSource and look at gadgets

or TVs. That sort of technology is interesting to me,” said Force.

“Danny (fiancé Danny Hood) and I are getting married in December and

we’ll be moving into a house together. That can be overwhelming so

watching do it yourself shows like Designing Spaces help a lot to give

us ideas.”

The graduate of Cal State-Fullerton who has a degree in Broadcasting

and Communications remembers studying about today’s technology years

ago as a college student.

“There is so much technical stuff involved with the new televisions.

Danny usually can do all that stuff. There is always something new

which is exciting because it makes the television watching experience

so much better. I remember studying HD in college,” added Force.

The goal of Designing Spaces is to show viewers how to achieve their

fantasy style with advice from renowned leaders in the design,

hardware, architecture, houseware, and real estate industry. Force’s

holiday segment focused on helping viewers pick the right Sanyo HDTV

and talking about the benefits of Sanyo HDTVs.

THURSDAY -SCELZI SEZ, "I NEED TO WIN INDY"

In looking at his stat sheet, Gary Scelzi appears to have earned more than his fair share of drag racing accolades.

Consider this. The Four-time NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series champion

holds an impressive list of accomplishments which includes  37 national

events in 58 final rounds, was the first Funny Car driver to break the

330-mph barrier, won his first Top Fuel crown as a rookie, and is the

only NHRA driver to have won in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Top Alcohol

Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car.

Yet there’s one simple tidbit that sticks in his craw.

Scelzi has not won the prestigious U.S. Nationals in the Funny Car

class. His solo victory at this event came in Top Fuel, in 1998.

"It’s time," Scelzi admitted.

Scelzi is out of the hunt for a fifth championship this season, having

missed a berth in the Countdown to 1 playoffs, but he’s ready to "wreak

havoc" on the rest of his competitors in the class as he prepares for

this weekend’s 54th annual U.S. Nationals with a new crew chief on

board, stepping in for ailing tuner Todd Okuhara, and high hopes.

"We’ve got Richard Hogan tuning the car, who has been in the shop for a

week, going through, refining, trying to find a combination that he

will be comfortable with," says Scelzi. "He’s working with Todd, he’s

working with Phil (Shuler, tuner of Rockstar Energy Drink Dodge), John

Collins, our assistant crew chief, and everybody on the Don Schumacher

Racing team.

"Everybody seems to be upbeat and going in a good direction. It’s risky

doing this before the U.S. Nationals. It’s great that you’ve got an

extra qualifying session (five in all), but you’ve also got a bunch of

cars coming and everyone is trying to be a hero, and so are we.

"We know we can’t win the POWERade championship so our plan now is to try to salvage the year by winning the U.S. Nationals.

"There’s been a lot of changes, a lot of things going on. Hopefully we

can get a handle on it all and cause havoc on all these guys who are

going to be in the Countdown.

 

SAM I AM – Sam Millard, a six-year-old from Texas, saw his winning JDRF design on the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang for the first time today, as his “Imagine a Cure” theme was unveiled in front of a lunchtime crowd in downtown Indianapolis.

Millard, a resident of Greenville, Texas, and member of the Greater Dallas JDRF Chapter, helped unveil his car with Al Giombetti from Ford Customer Service Division, at Monument Circle. His design for the JDRF-themed Funny Car was applied to the Shelby Mustang of Bob Tasca III for the NHRA U.S. Nationals to be held this weekend in Indianapolis.

“Sometimes when mommy and daddy check if my blood sugar is high or low, I can feel my heart beating in my finger,” said Millard on what inspired his car design. “I don’t want to feel that anymore, so I want JDRF to win and find a cure.”

On hand at the event were Giombetti, executive director, Ford Customer Service Division; Nancy Lonsinger, JDRF board president, Indiana state; Bob Tasca III, driver of the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Shelby Mustang which will carry Millard’s paint scheme; and Millard’s parents, Bart and Shannon.

“We’re thrilled we’ve been able to help Sam’s design come alive on our Mustang Funny Car,” said Giombetti.  “To have the kind of response we got from JDRF kids around the country, and to be able to raise more than $84,000 with this contest… well, it’s just amazing.

“All of us at Ford Motor Company are proud we are the largest corporate supporter of JDRF, and we’re also proud to be able to offer unique ways to help JDRF raise funds to find a cure. “

 

Millard was one of 307 child designers from around the country whose paint schemes raised $84,542 for research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes.  Millard himself raised $6,801.

“To have Sam see his design on our racecar for the first time today was just really special,” said Tasca. “I am so proud to be a part of this great contest with Ford and JDRF, and look forward to putting Sam’s design in the winner’s circle this weekend.”

"I just want to thank the Ford Motor Company for what they did for JDRF through this design contest,” said Lonsinger. “JDRF is very proud to have the support of Ford, and are thrilled to see the end result of this contest with Sam’s design on the race car.”

As the winner of the design contest, Millard will spend Friday at the track with the Tasca Racing team as an honorary crew member, and he and his family will get to see his car design run during qualifications for the U.S. Nationals.

CAPPS ON 1,000 FEET – The IHRA has plans to incorporate 1,000-foot drag racing into a mix of eighth-mile and traditional quarter-mile venues in

2009. The NHRA has yet to reveal whether  1000 foot racing will continue beyond 2008.

The NHRA announced a temporary scale back to 1,000 foot drag racing for

the nitro division through the 2008 season following the tragic death

of Funny Car racer Scott Kalitta during the NHRA Supernationals in

Englishtown, NJ.

Veteran nitro Funny Car racer Ron Capps, a drag racing purist by his

own admission, wouldn’t mind seeing the NHRA run quarter-mile at

certain venues while scaling back to 1,000-foot on those tracks with

shorter shutdown areas.

“I’ve been waffling a little bit, which I try not to do,” Capps

explained. “As a historian, I didn’t want to veer too far away from the

quarter mile. It’s kind of what the foundation was built on. It’s what

(NHRA founder Wally) Parks built everything on. But I’ve got to tell

you, you can ask most drivers, and the majority of them are going to

tell you we’re pretty happy with things the way they are right now.

There were a few more explosions and such in Reading, and we kind of

had a feeling because of the conditions, the weather, the atmosphere

conditions were good there. So guys were really leaning on their stuff

to run better. But I think just finding a good way to mark the 1,000

foot for the Funny Car guys and gals is important because you kind of

get lost when the clutch comes in, and it’s hard to find a thousand

foot sometimes.

“But I’ve got to tell you I’m pretty happy with it. And more than that,

the fans are probably the best beneficiary. Because they’re allowed to

go in the grandstands, take one drink in their hand, and sit through

the whole session and not have oil downs take a half an hour here and

there. And they’re able to go back in the pits and watch their favorite

drivers and crews do their work. It’s a win win thing right now. But I

think containing these cars at the finish line will be the key. We’ll

see what happens next year. But that’s not our call.”

What Capps doesn’t want to see is a return to quarter-mile racing  that

includes the sanctioning body alter the current chassis/engine

combination.

“Del Worsham and I were talking the other day and I would rather run

our cars the way they are, full tilt, get your attention,” Capps

admitted. “That adrenaline rush that we get and running like that to

1,000 foot, than to have a governor put on these things that they only

run 300 miles per hour to the finish line. That’s my personal opinion.

They become slot cars at that point. We went to Denver, and 1,000 foot

was good. And the weather conditions there being the mile high the cars

always seem to run slower anyway. So those two put together (meant

slower cars).

“We left Denver, but when we got to Seattle and that first lap in

Seattle, I looked at every other driver and said, ‘Man, this is what

it’s all about.’ You step on the gas and this thing makes your eyes the

size of a half dollar, it’s, you know, there is nothing that replaces

that. So my personal opinion is I’d rather run them like they are to

1,000 foot, than to have them slowed way down to a quarter mile.”

PRETTY IN PINK – The special-edition Castrol GTX Ford Mustang in which Ashley Force this week will try to become the first woman to win a Funny Car

title at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, the world’s oldest, largest, and

most prestigious drag racing event, definitely is pretty in pink.

Nevertheless, rivals aren’t likely to be fooled by the distinctive

paint that celebrates the 25-year-old’s 2007 rookie-of-the-year season.

That’s because they know that beneath the feminine facade beats the

mechanical heart of one of the world’s most potent race cars, one in

which Force not only became the first woman in drag racing history to

win an NHRA Funny Car race, but also the first to reach a final round,

the first to lead the points, and the first to earn a starting berth in

NHRA’s Countdown to 1.

The graduate of Cal State, Fullerton picked the color for the car. For

her, it recalls an era of empowerment for women in drag racing, an era

in which Shirley Muldowney’s hot pink Top Fuel dragster shook the very

foundation of the sport.

"This is my first specialty car," she said, "and I love the color pink.

I asked my team about having a pink car since it’s their rookie of the

year car as much as it is mine, but they were fine with it. They

actually thought it would be intimidating since, while they will never

admit it, most guys don’t want to lose to a girl much less a girl in a

pink race car.

"There will never be another rookie-of-the-year car for me, and I’ll

only race it one time, so that will be doubly special," she said.

As a youngster, Force was inspired by Muldowney, who, after becoming

the first woman licensed to drive in Top Fuel, won world championships

in 1977, 1980, and 1982.

"When we went to the races with my mom, we always wanted Dad to win,

but I used to cheer for Shirley and the other girls in racing, too.

They were an inspiration just like I hope I can be to girls from this

generation."

In her second season, Force has begun to come into her own, and that

has led to a not-so-subtle change in perception among race fans.

Whereas she once was identified solely as "John Force’s daughter," more

often, people who gather around the John Force Racing compound point to

the elder Force signing autographs next door and identify him as

"Ashley’s dad."

John characterizes it as "a changing of the guard."  At 59, the 14-time

world champion acknowledges that he is in the twilight of his career.

Nevertheless, he has said he will continue to race vicariously through

Ashley and her younger sisters, Brittany, 22, and Courtney, 20, who

also are competing at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, though not

in Funny Car.

"Our car has been running good," Force said of her Dean Antonelli- and

Ron Douglas-prepared Ford. "It just hasn’t happened for us on race day,

at least not lately. We just have to keep doing what we’re doing. If we

stay consistent like we’ve been, it’ll come back around."

A winner in April in Atlanta, where she beat her famous father in the

final round of the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals,

Froce was runner-up at two races and started from the No. 1 qualifying

position at two of the last three races.
