John Force and the PEAK Antifreeze and Coolant Chevrolet Camaro SS team will look to extend to 34 the number of years Force has won at least one event on tour when they close out the season at the In-N-Out Burger Pomona Drag strip for the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals.<\/p>\n
Come Sunday, Force will be making his 82nd race day start at the historic drag strip located on the Pomona Fairgrounds, his 40th at the season finale. Force has won 16 times in three different events at his hometown racetrack, he is one of only two drivers to have won three different events at the Southern California location, the other is Jeg Coughlin Jr. in Pro Stock. In 2001, they both held Wally\u2019s at the end of the 50th Anniversary NHRA Nationals which was held in addition to the regularly scheduled Winternationals and Finals.<\/p>\n
Force\u2019s eight wins at the Finals came in even-numbered years dating back to 1988, 1994, 1996, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and most recently in 2010. Force last appeared in a final round in 2016 and was also runner-up in 2013 and 2014. Last year, Force started race day from the No. 7 position and picked up a first-round win before making a quarterfinal exit.<\/p>\n
\u201cPomona, the fairgrounds, that\u2019s home. There\u2019s a lot of history, and not just for me, for all of NHRA. I\u2019m looking forward to getting back out there. It\u2019s a difficult track but it\u2019s exciting,\u201d Force said. \u201cI know we aren\u2019t in it for the championship, but Robert and that AAA Cornwell Tools team is and maybe we can do some good to help them out. This PEAK team goes out every weekend to win, that\u2019s no different now. End this season with a win for PEAK, Chevy and all our partners, that\u2019s what we want to do.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
