Between the two of them, they have 20 NHRA championships. What they don't have is an idea of is how they want their legacies to play out when they hang up the firesuit. 

John Force has 155 career wins, putting him atop not only the all-time wins list of Funny Car racing but also all of professional drag racing. Steve Torrence's 51 Top Fuel career wins, while impressive, pales in comparison to Force's resume. He's just one win shy of tying Joe Amato and Antron Brown for the third-winningest driver in the class. 

"I don't go there, I don't think about it, I don't think about," Force said, shaking his head. "I've had people try to say, 'You can go after Petty. Steal it. 200." 

"I never raced Petty. So, why would I even say that? They said the same thing to Glidden, and Glidden goes. I was standing there one day, and actually, I was talking to him, and he goes, 'Well, good luck. You can break that record." 

"I said, 'Which one?" And he said, "Mine." 

"I said, "You're the greatest there ever was. I never raced you. Why am I going after your record?" So, none of that makes sense. But I was getting to a point. The point is, I'm still chasing the Don Prudhommes and the heroes of my era. I'm still chasing them in my mind. That's what motivates me."

As National DRAGSTER's Phil Burgess pointed out, "You have four times as many wins as Prudhomme, or Garlits, or any of that stuff. Why don't you feel you're worthy of that title?"

Force admits he cannot help it; he has a hard time putting himself on an even keel with those he idolized. 

"They were all I lived for," Force explained. "You don't understand. I was a kid, right out of school, racing in school with that dream, standing at the fence. I couldn't afford to get in the race track at Pomona with my truck parked down the street that I was driving and said, 'One day I'll be out there." 

"And that was everything that made you when you were at a crossroad, like, 'This is over. You can't make it." 

"I remember sitting in Memphis at a crossroad, 'It's over, you're broke, the crews are wanting to beat you up, you had to lock them in a trailer. There were only two of us in those days. I mean, when we had six guys, we slept six in a room. Can you imagine that?

"We did what we did to survive. And then you reach a point where you say, "It's over," and then you go."

For Torrence, life's priorities have changed with the birth of his daughter Charli, and his legacy is leaning more towards being a better father than a historic drag racer. 

"When you have something that you gauge time off of, like a little girl that's learning to sit up and learning to walk and all these things happen, and you don't realize how much time has gone by, I mean, my little girl's a year old," Torrence explained. "It seems like she came out two or three months ago, and things happen so much quicker because you have something to gauge them by. 

"It's not changed who I am; it's changed how I look at things and what really is important. This is about family and the next generation and what you're going to leave. And John [Force] has built a dynasty.

Just like Force, Torrence isn't ready to keep score of his accolades alongside drag racing's legends. 

"Somebody showed me a list here a few months ago, and honestly, man, it blows my mind to even think that I'm there," Torrence admitted. "It's not a feeling of deservedness or anything. We worked really hard to do what we've done; we try to win every race we go to. And sometimes, I think you just work so hard at what you're trying to do and stay so focused on the task at hand when you look up; you're further down the road than you ever thought you would be. 

"I'm so much further down the road than I ever imagined I would be. I'm just thankful and blessed to be here. Probably every one of us remembers being at the ropes, watching those drivers, watching those teams, wanting to be there. Standing at the fence, watching just in awe to see a Top Fuel car go down the racetrack. Never in a million years would I imagine I would be driving one, I would win a race, I would win a championship."

"When somebody shows you [your accomplishments], or you ask me that question, I mean, that hits you pretty hard. Because I mean, I can talk about that question forever. I mean, man, I grew up in a trailer house in Kilgore, Texas. My dad was a welder, and my mom cleaned houses. Now I'm a four-time world champ."
