For most of the season, whispers have followed the Prock family like tire smoke — the kind of persistent chatter that suggested their time with John Force Racing was winding down, possibly to launch a program of their own. On Friday, those whispers found traction.

CompetitionPlus.com has learned that John Force Racing was formally notified from sources within the team of the Procks’ intention to depart the organization, ending one of the most successful modern pairings in nitro racing. The timing wasn’t shocking — but the alleged destination is.

Sources close to the situation tell us the Procks are expected to align with a Funny Car operation that once carried deep ties to John Force himself. If true, the move would send ripples through the class and potentially reshape the 2026 landscape.

Additional details are guarded tightly, but those familiar with the situation say more dominoes could fall before the end of the year. Stay tuned — this storyline is gathering horsepower.
