VANDERGRIFF EMBRACES FUNNY CAR CHALLENGE AT JOHN FORCE RACING
Replacing a two-time Funny Car champion is supposed to come with nerves, doubt and public skepticism. Jordan Vandergriff arrives instead with conviction, stepping into one of the sport’s most demanding seats with a belief shaped by patience rather than pressure.
One might expect anxiety to overwhelm a driver stepping into one of drag racing’s most scrutinized roles, but Vandergriff insists that is not the case. The experienced Top Fuel driver says confidence, not nerves, defines his mindset as he prepares for his first full season in Funny Car.
Vandergriff was introduced at the PRI Show in December as the replacement for back-to-back Funny Car champion Austin Prock. The move placed a driver with limited Funny Car seat time into one of the sport’s most successful operations at John Force Racing.

And Alexis De Joria brings her candid craving for a Funny Car championship that would be John Force Racing’s unprecedented 25th.
