KENT, Wash. - John Force earned his 112th career NHRA Funny Car victory Sunday during the CARQUEST Auto Parts NHRA Nationals at Pacific Raceways.
Tony Schumacher (Top Fuel) and Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) also earned victories in their respective categories at the $1.4 million NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series event.
NHRA.com: Sunday Recap
Force earned his third win of the season with a 4.896-second pass at 309.34 mph in his Castrol GTX Start Up Ford Mustang. He beat Cruz Pedregon’s 5.633 at 194.91 in his Advance Auto Parts Chevy Monte Carlo.
Force has 12 NHRA championships to accompany his 112 trophies. The current points leader said the standings could change at any time.
“Schumacher and I got some points today and we were talking about it,” Force said. “The problem is, we could both be caught in one or two races so we have to stay after it. There is no quit on this team so we should stay in the fight.”

Hey Tony, congratulations on your second championship! I can’t think of anyone more deserving. The way you handle yourself around the public is truly commendable. In all my encounters with celebrity athletes I’ve never met anyone that could hold a candle to you. That you took time to go fishing with me & my work buddy meant the world to me. I believe that people are rewarded by the way they act & behave around others. The great person that you are I’m sure there are many more victories & championships in your future. god bless you & our soldiers from your coca-cola fishing buddy at Atlanta Dragway. See ya in May. Kenny
