Good for her, starting a family. Could this be Josh Hart's new home?

I thought Jordan Vandergriff was in line since he’s tested with Team Force before

My guess is Josh has some sponsorship to help fund the car where Jordan doesn't.

I would've never had guessed she is 39. I would've guessed late 20's.

Totally understandable. Good luck to her and her husband.

Wonderful ambassador for Drag Racing, will miss her positive energy greatly.
Friday night Q2's will never be the same again

No kidding! I thought early 30s only because she's been racing so long. Good for her.

Man it looks like John is having a hard time with it, which is totally understandable. The first 3/4's of the video it looks like someone shot his dog and I'm sure that's how he feels in the moment even though he wasn't surprised. Painful stuff getting old (especially with neuro challenges which complicates every facet of life, especially emotions and processing change) and watching the world around you change so quick.

I will assume that car will be parked. And I’d bet lack of funding has something to do with this decision. Hopefully I’m wrong.

they said a replacement will be announced later. In a follow up interview with Brit she said that she will continue to follow the team next year.

Wonder if she'll do a farewell Walk a 1000 feet dance for us?

Has he ever said R+l had left him? I would bet they would be very happy to be on the side of a very high profile John Force Racing team car.

My sister made the decision to have a kid at age 40. Wasn't easy...had to do IVF and several tries until she had my nephew. He just started driving this year and is getting interested in cars. So Britt starting now is a good choice.
Not such a good choice would be J Hart in her car. He turned me off when he had that spat with Britt and her team in his TF debut.
Vandergriff is a better choice, and he did well in Shawn Reed's ride. Another good choice would be.... Dean Skusa (FIRST!)

This was my immediate thought too.

John has said in the past when Brit is done, so is the Top Fuel program, hope he has changed his thinking, he wants to keep Grubby and JC, maybe the sponsors want to keep the program going?
Absolutely, I would vote for Jasmine
