In celebration of OWI's 50th anniversary, John Force and his crew will don a special gold and black scheme on the PEAK Antifreeze and Coolant Chevrolet. This scheme is a nod to OWI's first venture into motorsports sponsorship with the PEAK brand of Kyle Petty. The crew uniforms will be fashioned after the ones originally worn by Petty's crew in the late 1980s, adding a touch of nostalgia to the event.

Brian Bohlander, the Director of Marketing – Sports & Partnership, expressed enthusiasm about the timely celebration of Old World Industries' 50th anniversary.

“Old World Industries’ 50th anniversary is November 8th so this weekend is the perfect event leading into the AAPEX show to celebrate the company’s golden anniversary,” said Bohlander,  “In 1986, Old World acquired the PEAK brand and shortly thereafter entered into its first motorsports sponsorship with Kyle Petty. The crew uniforms replicate the ones that Petty’s crew wore in the late 1980s. John and Kyle Petty will also be together at the AAPEX show next Wednesday afternoon to celebrate the company’s anniversary along with Michael Waltrip and even Danica Patrick will be coming back to celebrate the 50th anniversary with us.”

​

But before the festivities, Force has his sights set on the Nevada Nationals. Seeking his fifth victory in this event, he previously triumphed in 2002, 2010, 2013, and 2016. The 2013 win was particularly memorable, as Force, the No. 1 qualifier, defeated his daughter Courtney Force in the finals en route to clinching his 16th championship. Last year, Force secured the fifth qualifying spot, but fell short in the quarterfinals. Notably, during the Texas NHRA FallNationals in Dallas, Force registered a career-best 3.823-second pass in qualifying.

Force expressed his enthusiasm about the team's current position in the Countdown and acknowledged the difficult road ahead.

“This PEAK Chevy team is right in the middle of the fight in this Countdown and we still got a shot, but it is a long shot. We are excited because Vegas is a great racetrack and we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Old World Industries. I’m very proud to be a part of this,” Force said. “Tom Hurvis gave me an opportunity years ago to drive the PEAK and BlueDEF Chevrolet, I will always be grateful for that. I’m looking forward to this weekend, we have a lot going on but more importantly, we have a car that got fast. The PEAK Chevy has progressively gotten faster all year. We are going to go into Las Vegas and get us a win.”
