Yorba Linda, Calif., based John Force Racing is teaming up with Don Tester Ford/Lincoln/Mercury of
Norwalk, Ohio, to offer employees and business partners of the local Ford dealership a special
weekend at the races. John Force Racing led by 14-time champion John Force and his daughter, Ashley
Force Hood, who is currently No. 2 in the Full Throttle point standings will offer employees and
business partners of Don Tester Ford a variety of prizes and incentives as a way of saying thank
you for the support Ford gives the race team while they are competing at the NHRA event at Summit
Racing Equipment Motorsports Park.
In addition to the Forces, who drive 310 mile-an-hour Ford Mustang Funny Cars sponsored by Castrol
GTX and Castrol GTX High Mileage on the pro drag racing tour, John Force Racing also features
Robert Hight, driver of the Auto Club of Southern California Mustang, and Mike Neff, driver of the
Ford Drive One Mustang.
John Force has raced in the Norwalk area for many years as the headliner for the famed Night Under
Fire event at Norwalk's Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park. The past two years John Force
Racing has also raced at the annual NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event. Last year Robert
Hight and his Auto Club Ford Mustang raced to a runner-up finish at 2nd annual Summit Racing
Equipment NHRA Nationals.
"We wanted to find a way to say thanks to the local Ford dealers this year," Force said, "because
in these hard economic times, we need to help out our sponsors in any way we can. We are proud to
be a part of the Ford family and we want to encourage all our fans to go out to Don Tester Ford
this week and test drive a new Mustang, Flex, Edge, Fusion or other great Ford car or truck before
they come out to the track to see us."
Don Tester Ford/Lincoln/Mercury is located at 2800 Route 250 South, Norwalk, OH 44857, (419)
