NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

The John Force Racing team will make its much-anticipated return to NHRA Championship Drag Racing at the 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season-opening Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway. The 21-time championship-winning team will feature three full-time entries driven by John Force, Robert Hight, and Brittany Force. 

On 16-time world champion John Force’s PEAK/BlueDEF Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car, Danny Hood, son-in-law to John Force, will continue as lead crew chief with Tim Fabrisi, long-time car chief for Force, moving up to assistant. Both were key players in Force’s historic 150th and 151st national event wins. 

“Thank you to all of our sponsors and fans for sticking by us. I really realized how much I love this sport, and I appreciate the chance to get back into my PEAK/BlueDEF Chevrolet,” said John Force, owner and CEO of John Force Racing. “We’re excited to be back racing and to have all of our sponsors with us. I’m looking forward to working with Camping World and can’t wait to see where the sport goes with them on board.”

Hight, president of John Force Racing and three-time Funny Car world champion, will continue to drive the Auto Club of Southern California Chevrolet Camaro SS with his tandem of crew chiefs Jimmy Prock and Chris Cunningham. 

“I’m really looking forward to getting back to going rounds and winning races with this Auto Club team,” said Hight. “I know Jimmy and Chris and all our Auto Club guys are excited and ready to get going. I’m happy to be continuing John Force Racing’s more than 20-year partnership with AAA and ultimately going after another championship.”

Crew chiefs David Grubnic and Mac Savage will continue to tune 2017 Top Fuel world champion Brittany Force’s Monster Energy/Flav-R-Pac dragster. The two sponsors will split the season as primary partners on the national record-holding dragster.  

“I can’t wait to get back to the racetrack with my Monster Energy/Flav-R-Pac team,” she said. “We’ll be chasing down our first win of the season right out of the gate. This year I’m really looking forward to racing in Seattle with Frank Tiegs and Flav-R-Pac as the title sponsor.” 

In addition to PEAK/BlueDEF, Auto Club, Monster Energy, and Flav-R-Pac, John Force Racing brings back its full roster of sponsors, including Chevrolet, Cornwell Tools, Montana Brand, ParkerStore, Baldwin Filters, Gates Belts, Weld Racing, Simpson Race Products, and Goodyear. 

John Force Racing will prepare for the 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series opening race at PRO Winter Warm-Up March 5-7 in West Palm Beach, Fla., ahead of its debut at the Gatornationals March 12-14.
