FORCE/RAHAL CHALLENGE EARNHART JR

[FABMAN]

John Force, Graham Rahal, and Courtney challenge Dale Jr at Fontana Nascar Race last weekend to swap cars with Graham Rahal on Indy road coarse in near future with National Guard. Heck maybe this will lead to a swap with John Now that would be a swap for sure.

This car sway might not happen, Honda and Chevy have to approve it first.

Unless I'm missing something, John and Courtney have nothing to do with this.

From report on jayski.com John Force tweeted Dale Jr about the idea and since Graham and Dale are team up with National
Guard the wheels started rolling.

Here's the Jayski link

All Jayski is quoting is the story from the link I previously posted.

From Popular Speed,
"Rahal attended the Auto Club 400 in Fontana on Sunday afternoon with girlfriend Courtney Force and her father, 16-time NHRA Funny Car champion, John and reached out to Earnhardt after the race, via Twitter, about the possibility of swapping rides somewhere down the line."

No where does it state the idea was John Force's. All it says is that Graham Rahal attended the Nascar race with Courtney and John. And then Tweeted Dale Jr about the idea of driving each others cars. There are JFR employees on Twitter, and I'm fairly certain John Force isn't one of them, otherwise Twitter would never be the same.

Paul,
good call Dale Jr quoted this morning that although he would love to swap rides with Graham that it would be unlikely to happen since Chevy and Honda are competitors.

Keith,

I had no intention of creating any ill feelings I just thought it would make for a fun topic to chat about, I'll just let everyone who's interested to check jayski.com and read for themselves.

Have a great day.

Easy misunderstanding (John talks fast). What he meant was, he wanted to swap BUDGETS with Dale Jr.

Everything is fine, I'm not upset. Jayski has been known to make mistakes and then go back and change them. Maybe that's what happened here? Twitter would be a hell of a lot more interesting and fun if John Force was Tweeting.

He couldn't handle the 140 character limit!

Hmmm, a 140 character limit would be GREAT for those endless John Force interviews...

"At the end of the day" is 21 alone!

"At the end of the day" is 21 alone!

And "bottom line" is 10! "Brand Source, Castrol, she was truckin', that kid over there"....and that would about be it!
