John Force shared the Auto Club stage in the baking Saturday afternoon sun last weekend in Dallas with company president Robert Hight and teammate daughters Brittany and Courtney as fans gathered to ask questions.


The gathering wound up with an inquiry from a fan who wondered what each of the John Force Racing drivers does when not racing. Hight said he enjoyed attending Jr. Drag Racing events with daughter Autumn. Brittany Force said she has enjoyed hot yoga, which she explained as “yoga in temperatures like this.” Courtney Force allowed that she didn’t have much spare time.


And the JFR boss answered, “I tried fishing. That didn’t work. I tried hunting. That didn’t work. I tried getting drunk. My wife made me stop that. There’s only a few weeks we have off.” But he said he likes going to the Jr. Drag Racing League events, too, to watch Autumn Hight and Jacob Hood, son of his daughter Ashley Force Hood and her husband, Dan Hood (Courtney Force’s co-crew chief). “I have more fun watching them do what I’ve loved to do all my life. You really do appreciate your grandchildren. No matter how old you get or how many races you lose, they still love you.”
