Ashley Force-Hood Announces Baby #2 (1 Viewer)

We won't see Ashley racing against her little Sister or her Dad anytime soon ... She is pregnant again. I am happy for her ... but I miss seeing her out on the track.

I could easily see that. When Dad retires they'll hire another guy to drive that car and the company that her, and her sisters manage. There's no need for her to risk her life any more.

Those kids will need some cousins. Courtney, I'm available.

Good call Karl ... bad netiquette by me not giving credit to the source. Tip of the cap to Erica Ortiz's Facebook as the source of the info/article.

I think you're a bit too old for her, Brent.

But anyway, congrats to Ashley. Any (non-monitary) bets that Danny Hood is going to be the guy that replaces pops in the main car?

I wouldn't be so quick to write her career off. Like Sean Connery discovered, "Never Say Never Again."

And congratulations to the Force family!!

Congrats to Ashley and the Force-Hood family.

I think most knew that during her first pregnancy that Ashley's driving career was over. Then the promotion within the company, sorry forgot her official title. I'd say with baby #2 on the way it's all but official.

Normally I'd think Danny Hood replacing John is a pipedream, but then again Robert Hight got the nod with basically no previous experience. Since this is purely speculative how about Bob Tasca or Daniel Wilkerson replacing John when he finally decides to retire from driving?

Brent, publicly pining for Courtney Force's attention on a message board is a bit creepy. But, if it works.......mad respect

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

Those two are as good as any choises....

She also mentioned in a recent episode of WFO that she doesn't want to be one of those drivers that comes back for a year, has a year off to have another baby, then come back again. There's just a good a chance that she's enjoying this stage of her life and considering a return later on. She's a sentimental favourite in a way, as a lot of us were all looking forward to the day when one of Force's daughters got into a FC, and Ashley was the first of them. It's fair to say that in the future, John has a plan for his Funny Cars / Dragsters when his other daughters may want kids as well. Congrats to Ashley and Danny.
