Just read that Jack Beckman is getting John Force's seat for the remainder of the season.
(Points that he earns in the car go to Force per NHRA rules.)

Gotta say I didn't see that choice coming, but it ain't bad.

If I'm not mistaken, in addition to Beckmans own F/C career, wasn't he the "instructor " for teaching all of John Forces girls how to race? Maybe thru Hawley's school?

Yup - a Hawley instructor, and that connection makes sense.
I'd forgotten about that.

Beckman can drive. Needed someone right away who didn't need training wheels. I expect they'd like to win a championship with that car.

Who knows what next year will bring.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Fast Jack was alway one of my favorite FC drivers. Glade to see he’s back competing.

An obvious and great choice. I'm biased given my time spent taking the Hawley Super Gas class from him. Just a super nice, down-to-earth guy.
