The writing was on the wall at JFR. Hight's retiring; Brittany retiring, John himself retiring and after 25 years at JFR (minus the 1 year hiatus), Jimmy himself may have been wondering if it was time for a change. Tasca's boys sensed it too; realized their operation was competitive but not championship-competitive and decided to make the move on the Procks who agreed as long as a ride for Austin (and a substantial pay raise) came with the deal. No doubt that after they presented their plan to Bob III he warmed to the idea. And that was that. That's all opinion but I bet it's pretty close to how it went down.
Force Racing ain't dead yet, tho. 4 quality drivers and some kickass crew chiefs are ready and rarin' to go. As I see it the biggest mountain to climb at JFR is the roughly $20 million/year needed to fund 4 competitive nitro teams. I hope they find the money and stay out there; the sport can't afford to lose JFR.

Actually JFR only needs to fund 2 cars.
Alexis is racing on her own $$$ which is pretty much unlimited.
Josh has Monster and his contributions.
Jack and Jordan I imagine aren't bringing anything to the table.
Jmo?
