Post-Race Driver Quotes:

AUSTIN PROCK, DRIVER OF THE CORNWELL TOOLS CHEVROLET SS FUNNY CAR FOR JOHN FORCE RACING:

“While we didn’t want to win it this way, but a championship’s a championship. This was out of your hands. As dominant as this Cornwell Quality Tools team was all year, we deserved it, and I think everybody in the pits could probably say the same. We went out there, we won nine of 19 and went to I think 12 finals and handful of number one qualifiers. We had a dominant Prock Rocket all year, and I’m so proud to say that we are two-time champs that is going to be next to my name, but it should be next to everybody on this team. They did a phenomenal job, and they deserved it! My dad, my brother, and the entire team put a great race car underneath me and let me go out there and showcase my talents. And that package all together equals two times. Awesome.”

BRITTANY FORCE, DRIVER OF THE MONSTER ENERGY CHEVROLET DRAGSTER FOR JOHN FORCE RACING:

“I always try to find the positive in everything. And this weekend, with Ponona being awash, with the rain, and the event getting canceled, I look back on Las Vegas the last time, my last pass down the drag strip, we turned a windlight on and ended up in the winterter circle, so that’s where my focus is. I’m really proud of everything, this monster energy team has accomplished this season, everything John first. racing’s accomplished. Jack Beckman did an amazing job in the seat this year. Again, did an amazing job in the seat. Austin Prock getting bringing home his second championship, and everybody under the John Force racing umbrella, none of this would be possible without every single individual.”

JACK BECKMAN, DRIVER OF THE PEAK ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANTS CHEVROLET SS FUNNY CAR FOR JOHN FORCE RACING:

“Unfortunately, we aren’t in charge of the weather, right? Some things in life, it is what it is. It’s very disappointing, especially home track and the success that I’ve experienced out here the last four times I’ve been here. But I can’t change history. I can’t change the weather. I’m sure that it was anguishing for NHRA to make that decision, fairly unprecedented to cancel a race, not postpone, and not see a pro car go down the racetrack, the entire duration of the event. Strange times we live in. And what are you gonna do about it? All right? We’ll pack up and we’ll unload again for preseasons and testing, and we’ll do it all over again in 2026.”
