Ashley Force, driver of the Castrol GTX Ford Mustang, will appear in
the May 2008 issue of Men’s Fitness magazine which will be on
newsstands April 14th. This issue has actor Jason Lewis on the cover.
In December, Men’s Fitness sent a photographer, a wardrobe assistant,
and make-up artists to the John Force Racing shop in Yorba Linda,
Calif., to capture the image of Ashley that appears on page 117.
This weekend Ashley is looking for her first career Funny Car victory
at the 9th annual Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals in Las Vegas. The
upcoming media national print exposure was on her mind but she was also
focused on getting coverage in another publication.
“I am really aiming for getting that National Dragster cover which
means I got my first win. That would be the best way to kick off all
these media things. The magazine and TV stuff was all done months ago
and it is just hitting this week,” said the 2007 NHRA Rookie of the
Year. “It would be great to come out of Las Vegas with a win and get
people really excited. When you see this stuff we want people to be
interested in what this person does. Our goal is to let people know
about my Castrol GTX race team and NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series. I
like doing the crazy photo shoots but really we just want to bring fans
out to the drag races.”
