Force mentioned the impressive runs of his daughter Courtney and teammate Robert Hight, highlighting the collaboration and team effort.

Force shared a humorous anecdote about encountering a small alligator during that time and how it had grown significantly since then. He also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to continue driving as long as he remains competitive.
As the press conference drew to a close, Force acknowledged the support he received from his sponsors and expressed his intention to attend a breakfast meeting with a new sponsor. Reflecting on his longevity in the sport, he compared drag racing to sex, stating that it only takes a few seconds to experience the thrill. Force’s enthusiasm and love for the sport were evident as he spoke with humor and passion.
