Allegedly a big announcement coming from Ford after the first of the year about their new sponsorship/contingency programs for 2014... Roush's son has been doing some road racing and a lot of R&D on parts that Roush is developing for the cars that run the twisty tracks. Also, they have the new Coyote engine available in a few different setups for drag racing and a new heads-up class for most anything running one of these engines!!!! Rumors around NHRA that contingency payouts might come down to the Divisional races level!!!!

As for John Force, what a phenomenal event to win Funny Car Championship #16!!!! and take his daughter out in the final round at Vegas doing it!! No mercy when you race at that level I guess! I doubt Force Racing would have had a lot of trouble grabbing new sponsors, but #16 probably made the task a lot easier!!!! John hinted at 3 new sponsors in a Vegas interview, suspect there could be some sort of announcement at Pomona, or for sure after the first of the year! The old fart sure isn't doing bad for an ex-truck driver anyway, he just might make it as a Pro Racer!!!!!
