Doug Stanley Ford of DeSoto, Texas, is providing support vehicles the weekend of September 24-28,
2009, for John Force Racing drivers, crew chiefs and executives including John Force and his drag
racing daughter, Ashley Force Hood.
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, the 14-time NHRA Full Throttle series champion, is a thirteen-time finalist and
seven-time winner at Texas Motorplex, in Ennis, Texas, site of this weekend's big drag race, the
nineteenth event of the 2009 tour. Force was excited to make this partnership happen in these
economic times.
"We wanted to find a way to work with 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 Doug Stanley Ford after this
race and test-drive a new Mustang, Flex, Edge, Fusion or other great Ford car or truck."
Doug Stanley Ford President, Tim Stanley was equally thrilled to be teaming up with one of the
biggest names in NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing.
"John Force is drag racing. He's a Ford guy. What I really respect him as a business man. He runs
his operation a lot like we run Doug Stanley Ford. It is like one big family. John treats his fans
so well and that is huge. I have never missed a race at the Texas Motorplex," said Stanley.
"The biggest tie-in for us is the high level performance John Force Racing has achieved crosses
over to Doug Stanley Ford and our customer service which ties right in with the high quality of
Ford products we have right now," added Stanley.
