WHAT THEY’RE SAYING:
AUSTIN PROCK, DRIVER OF THE CORNWELL TOOLS CHEVROLET SS FUNNY CAR FOR JOHN FORCE RACING:
ON BEATING MATT HAGAN:
“It feels amazing. To win back to back in this category is so tough. And, I’m just so proud of my family, this whole Cornwall tool team.
All the dealers out there busting their tails to let us come out here and play. I mean, this is amazing. So, yeah. The the old Prock Rocket, it got me out of a hole again there, man. It left, and it was sideways like a sprint car. It had the back-end out. And, I had a wrangler in there. Glad to see that wind light down there. Another amazing run by this team. John Force, another 1 for you, baby.
“You know, we win on them (Matt Hagan, Tony Stewart Racing) all the time. But I love racing those guys. Matt’s always very cordial at the top end, and I show a lot of respect to him, and he shows respect to me as well. So, we we enjoy racing those guys.”
ON BEING IN SAME WINNING POSITION AS LAST SEASON:
“This just says a lot about my family, this whole Cornwall Tools team. My dad and brother, Nate Hildall, they’re bad to the bone.
Plain and simple. They do an excellent job, and, they really study their craft, and they give me a good race car to get behind. And, it really shortened up my learning curve last year because we went so many rounds. I got so many attempts up at the starting line, so many attempts going down the racetrack. And, you know, it really, really benefited me as a driver. I’m proud to drive this Cornwall Tools Hendrickcars.com Chevrolet. Everything’s been just going so great the last year and a half. And, you never want something like that to end. So, glad we’re we got the train rolling again. We’re we’re 1 race ahead of where we were, here last year.
Last year, we lost in the semis, and, we only had 3 wins. So, a little bit ahead of ahead of pace. Hopefully, we can keep it up.
ON IMPORTANCE OF NORWALK TRACK
“The Bader family’s had a long relationship with, John Force and the Force family, and I’ve been licensed here, so it’s got a special place in my heart as well. I’ve never won here before. To get it done, with John here again is amazing. Obviously, we wanted to do it last year and, come up a little short to Tasca in the semifinals. But, we got it done this year with him in the house. And, yeah, it’s I mean, what an amazing day.”
JACK BECKMAN, DRIVER OF THE PEAK PERFORMANCE CHEVY SS FUNNY CAR:
“Frustrating day for the PEAK Chevy. Losing 2nd round, there’s only one thing worse than that and that’s losing first
round and technically there’s one thing worse than that and that’s not qualifying. I just think that we’ve been performing at such a level we
expect to win races and anything short of that is a disappointment. Coming off a runner up that last race in Richmond I really thought we
would punch into the winner circle this weekend. We came up just a thousandth short in the second round to Matt Hagan. We made a decent
lap we just didn’t run strong enough and as a driver I need to step it up a little bit and get more of an advantage on the starting line. We’ll take
a deep breath, look at the data, I can work on the things I need to work on as a driver and comeback out swinging at the next race and that’s
what we’re going to do. We’ve already got a car that’s been in the winner circle twice and won two of the Mission Foods 2Fast/2Tasty
Challenges this year. We don’t need to regroup; we just need to unload at the next race.”
BRITTANY FORCE, DRIVER OF CHEVROLET ACCESSORIES CHEVROLET DRAGSTER:
“Proud of my Chevrolet Accessories team this weekend in Norwalk. We didn’t get the win, but we continue to show progress on these hot racetracks. First round our car drove into smoke and after a steady pedal, I got the car to hook up and drove to the
finish line against Lex Joon. Unfortunately in round 2 we got outran by Shawn Langdon in a good side by side drag race. This team will pack up, regroup and get ready to get back after it in Seattle in a few weeks.”
