The entire John Force Racing family and team will be featured on CBS Sunday Morning this Sunday, September 28th.

CBS reporter Lee Cowan spent time with the Force family at their Yorba Linda home as well as the NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle.

Currently John Force is No. 1 in the Mello Yello point standings followed by Robert Hight No. 2 and Courtney Force No. 4 in the Funny Car class. Top Fuel sophomore driver Brittany Force is currently No. 10 in the Top Fuel point standings.

Force has won more Funny Car championships than any other drag racer in history and is one of the sport’s most popular drivers. He admits he should have considered stepping down 20 years ago, however, he says he’s still good at what he does behind the wheel.

“My office is right in the seat of that car,” Force tells Cowan. “And once I get in there, an old guy like me gets young again. This fire suit makes me superman. Not really, but I believe I am.”

Force tells Cowan he doesn’t quit because the drag strip is where he wants to be, it’s where he’s most comfortable.

“I got a big ol’ house I oughta set in,” Force says. “Don’t care about it. This is my house. This is where I live.”

Though he’s spent years away from home traveling track to track on the NHRA circuit, Force is now surrounded by family. Three of his daughters Courtney, Ashley and Brittany became race car drivers. His son-in-law, Robert Hight, also races and is a teammate.

On the track, Force says, he does whatever it takes to win, even if he’s racing his family.

“I’m so caught up in that cockpit of that car that sometimes I forget who I’m racin’. ‘Cause that’s what you have to do,” Force says. “You’ve gotta be on kill. That guy over there is gotta be a monster, and you gotta hate him. And you gotta beat him. And if it’s your daughter, you gotta hate her.”

Force says he’s driven to win and, “if I ever change that, I won’t know how to win.”

For all the success he’s had in the NHRA, Force has also seen tragedy. Friends have died in wrecks and he’s been in been hurt, too.  He prays before every race for his safety and for his daughters’.

“If I lost a girl, I can’t even talk about it,” Force says. “I don’t allow myself to talk about it. If I lost a girl I couldn’t handle it.”
