JForce NastaseFans of John Force Racing won this weekend in an unconventional “Double Up” picking up a No. 1 qualifier prize thanks to Courtney Force’s 4.081 second effort behind the wheel of her Traxxas Ford Mustang as well as 55” flat screen TV when John Force won the Inaugural Traxxas Shootout on Saturday night. As part of the “Win with Force” promotion fans win a washer and dryer for the No. 1 qualify positions and a television for race wins.

In another fun twist Melvin Craddock of Mesquite, Texas won the flat screen TV before Darwin Thomas of Houston picked up his washer and dryer set. Since the Traxxas Shootout final was run before the completion of the final qualifying session when John Force defeated Ron Capps to take the $100,000 prize Craddock got a win before qualifying was officially closed.

Moments later Darwin Thomas was contacted as the No. 1 qualifier winner when Courtney’s quick time from the Friday night session held up as the event No. 1 time for the 27th annual AAA Texas NHRA Fall Nationals.

CForce Nastase“I was so happy when I won that $100,000 I couldn’t believe it. I want to thank BrandSource for stepping up and giving away a TV for my win. This is a great night because I won the Traxxas Shootout, Courtney was No. 1 qualifier for the second time and we gave our fans some great prizes,” said John Force from the Traxxas Nitro Shootout Winner’s Circle.

At each NHRA national event when a JFR team qualifies No. 1 a lucky fan that has signed up at the JFR Win with Force display located in Nitro Alley will be eligible to win the BrandSource No. 1 Qualifier Award, a front loading washer and dryer set.  If a JFR driver wins the event a different fan will win the 55” flat screen TV Winner’s Circle Award from BrandSource.  At the end of the season a grand prize winner of the “Win with Force” Sweepstakes will be awarded a 2013 Ford Fiesta.

Fans can sign up to win at the John Force Racing interactive midway display. This 53-foot trailer will be in the Nitro Alley area of every NHRA Full Throttle Series national event in 2012. The “Win with Force” promotion now includes JFR team partners Castrol, BrandSource, Ford, AAA Auto Club of Southern California, Mac Tools, and Pleasant Holidays all joining together to create an incredible promotion for the fans.
