Early Life

Force was born on May 4, 1949, in Bell Gardens, to parents Harold and Betty Ruth Force. He had a challenging childhood moving between migrant farms and trailer parks and then contracted polio, which he ultimately survived. He was one of six children and played football in high school before attending Cerritos College. His interest in racing took place at a young age and at 21 years old he had already started competing.

Career

In 1971, Force drove his first fun car, the Night Stalker Mustang built by Jack Chrisman. He also competed in a variety of other races throughout his early career, including a Corvette, a Monza and an Oldsmobile Cutlass. Force stayed with the Cutlass from the 1980s until the end of the 1993 season. He later switched to Ford for a long period of time, but eventually returned to Chevrolet.

Force was a very successful driver between 1987 and 1996, during which time he won sixty-seven of a total of 203 NHRA events. His success continued into the mid-to-late 1990s, as he dominated the field and won a total of ten NHRA championships from 1993 to 2002, including six consecutive events from 1997 to 2002.

This time, he also began to form a racing team. Younger brother, Tony Pedregon, arch-rival Cruz Pedregon, drove his second car and fellow racer and friend, Gary Densham, drove his third. In 2003, Force had not won a title for the first time since 1992. However, the timing was fixed when his teammate Pedregon won his first world title. The power returned to the top in 2004 when he won his thirteenth world title.

In 2005

In 2005 Force won five events but placed third in the overall championship standings. The following year, in 2006, he won the 14th NHRA World Funny Car Championship.

In 2010, the Force celebrated 25 years with the same sponsor and 34 years in the NHRA. He started the season on a positive side, winning the opening match at the Auto Club Raceway in Pomona. While he continued racing throughout 2010, his wins became rarer even though he is still considered an icon in the sport and a tough contender. Racing has also become a true family affair, with all his three daughters participating in and winning races. In 2019, Force won his 150th race in the NHRA Northwest Nationals’ Magic Dry Sucker Organic. The year was very positive for him, as he subsequently won the American Nationals.
