If you watched Bob Tasca III win on Sunday in Gainesville, you might as
well have been watching John Force win another national event.
Tasca, No. 2 in the NHRA Full Throttle Champion Drag Racing Series
Funny Car points standings, considers the 14-time world champion to be
a mentor. He also had a good measure of Tony Pedregon teaching as well.
Between the two seasoned drivers that experience accounts for 16 world
championships, and one huge national event victory last Sunday.
The grandson of noted Ford dealer Bob Tasca, Tasca remembers a
conversation with his elder that led him to travel a successful path.
Force and Pedregon taught him how to win on the track. Grandfather pushed him to make it happen.
