Why not? Schumacher's got to have at least 2 cars/class, why not Force? What would be cool, is if Force fielded a Pro Stock Mustang. Not likeley though I presume.

Looks like one of the other daughters may be steppin' up soon huh?

Yeah, they have been dragging one around at the shop in a funny car getting her ready. I like Force's advice to driving a funny car, "Keep the end of the track between the flames."

Recently there has been an internet rumor making the rounds suggesting 14-time Funny Car world champion John Force has purchased Don Prudhomme Racing’s entire operation.

“Just not true,” said Skip Alum, DPR General Manager. “He’s [John Force] had some of his employees come over and look at one of our trailers. Force hasn’t bought anything.”

Force made statements last weekend in Houston alluding to youngest daughter Courtney Force making her way into Top Fuel racing. These statements have likely led to the speculation.

Alum confirmed the team owner who has purchased the most of the DPR inventory has been Kenny Bernstein Racing, and those purchases have been engine parts and tools. Former DPR employees Donnie Bender and Todd Smith are now with KBR.

Prudhomme announced his retirement from drag racing team ownership prior to the 2010 season and last month began liquidating racing assets.

“No one has bought any of the dragsters or a single tractor trailer,” he added. “None of the big ticket items have been sold.”

Alum isn’t ruling out the possibility of a Force purchase in the future but for now, the conversations between the parties have been limited.

“Force hasn’t bought anything yet, that’s not to say that he won’t. We haven’t had any conversations with him [Force] other than the one trailer.”

oops!
