I bet it freaked her *** out when Ashley saw the front half of her fathers car go sliding by the turn off (she ran just before him).

Ashley Force races Top Fuel funny car now, not alcohol. She USED to race alcohol. Just clarifying. As a matter of fact, the way the ladder was set up, John and Ashley would have met in the finals if they both kept winning...

I hope his old *** is back soon. I love him! Drag racing wouldn't be the same without his post-run interviews, haha!

he'll be back next year I'm sure...this has been a tough year for him tho, wouldn't be surprised to see him hang it up.

It sucks that Ashley didn't run, she had the field covered by a tenth all day....thats .1

I Completley Agree With Him About Ashley Staying But Then You Have To Think Whether Or Not She Would Have Been In The Right Frame Of Mind To Win.
