Congrats on a Father's Day win!!!

Notice during the interview he drops an "S-bomb" "You think s***s good now..."

Oops

It's still John though

I didn't get the Gatsby analogy ... But it is cool to see John win. Hopefully Zippy can keep the party rolling.

Congrats to John on his win

He used the Gatsby thing a couple times Sunday.

He musta' just seen the movie.

(Said it had something to do with an old guy's comback<I didn't see it that way - maybe that's how it went in the book><GGG>).

After being bummed by Tim going out in the first round, I was happy to see Ole John win.

I didn't hear John's quip, but I am guessing from the comments the line was something like this: "There are no second chances or no second acts". Which isn't in The Great Gatsby, but it is, however, a quote from the book's author, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Well, apparently, old Fitzgerald was wrong!

Yeah, I caught John's Gatsby schtick on the broadcast Sunday...he's coming back like Gatsby...He DOES know what happens to Gatsby at the end of the book, doesn't he? Kind of a weird analogy for a comeback if you ask me...

Boy - Learn something new every day.

I never knew that line (variously tortured) was Fitzgerald. The more I think about it, John might well have been putting his own spin on it.
(But, I don't believe he read Fitzgerald any more that I did<G>)

From some internet site::

"It seems 99% of persons get this wrong, considering that it's always quoted in the context of someone or another's re-emergence on the scene after going into an eclipse. Fitzgerald did NOT mean there are no second chances in American life-but that American liveS tend not to have middle acts, when the fruits of our early labors can be appreciated, before going into the inevitable decline of old age.

The coolest thing John did was stay in the Winner's Circle after everybody else was finished, and take pictures with the fans. I talked to a couple at the hotel that are NASCAR fans, they were floored that A: they could even get that close to the Champ. And B: He took a picture with them in Winner's Circle, in front of the car, with the trophy.

The guy told me word for word, "I will never buy anything but Castrol ever again." John get's it.

Everything he says is weird

 

[Jim]

True...and that's just another reason he's so well regarded.

Well regarded in your circles, not mine.

Talk to any "civilian" and - if they know ANY Drag Racer's name - it will be John Force. Hands Down!
Distant second (and it's got to be a senior fart<G>), Big Daddy (and that's probably how they'll say it - might not even know his given name).

Why the hate on Force. He has always been very complimentary of your boy Hagen. Have fun rooting for the 1X champ.

 

[TooTall999]

Well regarded and respected here!

Now that was funny.

As for me that was THE victory of the season so far.
