John Force Announcement (1 Viewer)

Wonder if Jimmy will stay there or move over to John’s car?

I wouldn’t mind seeing Jimmy tune Force, putting Force into a contending car might be just what he needs in his twilight years. Love to see him win another championship.
Also I expect Austin Prock to make some serious waves in F/C

Great, another reason to fast forward thru a driver interview. I like Hight but the only person I can't stand to listen to more in a top end interview than Prock is Ashley. I sure wish Alexis would get her **** together and win more. I love her honest, unfiltered outbursts.

I thought that was for a covid replacement only, last I heard that was still in place

correct

staying

 

[Nappy]

Thoughts and prayers for Robert Hight. Hope to see him around for many years to come.

When Robert's health gets to the point where he can return, that might be an opportunity for John Force to announce his retirement and promote Prock.

On a more serious note, I hope Robert's health is nothing too serious, and that he's able to return.

one would have to wonder if this change will be for the entire season. If Prock is ahead in points why switch. I have to believe this is a change for the whole season.

Announcement didn't say that. Robert may be back as soon as he's able.

Austin Prock said: “First off, all the best wishes to Robert and his health. It’s been a dream of mine to drive a Funny Car with my family, but this is not the way I hoped it would happen. It’s bittersweet." That's telling me Jimmy Prock, and brother Thomas Prock will stay with that car.

One wish for Roberts health to improve. Don't know the rule for points crossing from substitute drivers. Even if the points don't cross, with todays countdown even if a driver misses a few races, they come back and qualifies and races well, they would have a decent chance to qualify for the countdown. Or even another scenario, Prock does well, picks up a new sponsor for JFR, Robert returns and viola JFR has 4 cars running again. 3 FC & 1 TF, or 2 and 2. Don't laugh crazy things happen.

So Jimmy stays with Procks car, should be a top two car in points, if Robert comes back mid season and John is once again not near the top, John retires and Robert gets his car. Then reevaluate the next season.

I don't see John retiring mid season.

 

[Jack]

I don't see John retiring mid season.

100% agree. When John retires I'm sure it will be a "Snakes Final Strike" type of farewell tour.

Yeah, but we DON'T want John to retire!

I know in the past he has said he does not want to do a farewell tour but I feel like he would be leaving multiple millions of dollars on the table in the form of merchandising if he did not do a farewell tour.

 

[Jeff]

Praying for Robert to fight whatever makes him step out of the seat. I hope we will see him back sooner than later. But do what ever it takes. We need him out there.

 

[John Farce Racing]

Yeah, but we DON'T want John to retire!

I wouldn't mind, his schtick grew old years ago. I kinda like seeing him not win.

I don't believe the medical issue is with Robert.

That's a very old article. Almost tabloid-ish.

 

[ZWeinstein]

That's a very old article. Almost tabloid-ish.

I'm trying to even figure out what that website even is. Its like a job board with random articles, almost AI written except written somewhat coherently. Although having a picture of Courtney instead of Adria takes away any credibility.

 

[J. S.]

That's a very old article. Almost tabloid-ish.

I agree. I don't think there's any truth to that article. That picture is certainly not Adria. It does look a bit like Courtney, but it's not Adria.

Adria and Robert were married for a few years, but I can't see him taking time off to care for Adria if she was ill. I believe Robert has since re-married?
