John Force Racing is an NHRA drag racing team. In over 30 years of competition, John Force Racing has won two Top Fuel and 22 Funny Car championships. The current line-up of drivers includes Top Fuel driver Josh Hart and Funny Car drivers Jack Beckman, Alexis DeJoria, and Jordan Vandergriff.

Past drivers include Austin Prock, Robert Hight, Gary Densham and crew chiefs Austin Coil and Mike Neff, [2] Eric Medlen, who lost his life while racing for the team and whose number 4 appears on all their cars, Tony Pedregon, who was the first driver other than Force to win a series championship driving for the team, and Courtney Force. In 2017, Brittany Force became the first team driver to win a championship in a classification that is not Funny Car, taking the Top Fuel title.
Force's team had a long term relationship with Castrol and Ford, with Castrol serving as Force's primary sponsor for over 30 years and Ford his engine provider for 20 years. Both of those relationships came to an end following the 2014 season when BP, Castrol's parent company, ceased their sponsorship and Ford pulled out of the NHRA. Force's teams now run Chevrolets, sponsored by Old World Industries, Cornwell Tools, Bandero Premium Tequila, Burnyzz Speed Shop, Speedmaster, and HendrickCars.com.
