or it's just the writing on the wall for JFR demise, not so near future
I hope that isn't the case, but
No 'Forces in the seats', how long will John keep it going (?)

I wish them all the best of luck, I know they will do well,
that Prock family knows how to win in F/C,
so 'did JFR'

Now, I wonder if Jack Beckman will stay (?)

UPDATED – CORNWELL TOOLS PROCLAIMS SUPPORT FOR JOHN FORCE RACING

With John Force Racing’s announcement today regarding the Prock family’s departure from the team, we want to provide clarity on Cornwell’s position as we move toward the 2026 NHRA season.

First and foremost, Cornwell Quality Tools remains fully committed to our partnership with John Force Racing. JFR has been a cornerstone partner for our brand—strong, stable, and deeply aligned with the values and pride that define Cornwell. Their professionalism and long-standing legacy in the sport continue to be a powerful platform for our dealers and our brand.


We are grateful for everything achieved with Austin Prock and the Prock family over the past two seasons. Back-to-back championships are rare in any sport, and we are proud of the moments we created together during that run. As they begin their next chapter, we wish the Prock family nothing but continued success.


Looking ahead, our alignment with JFR remains unwavering. The team’s dedication to the 2026 season—fielding four race teams and continuing their commitment to American-made performance—mirrors the strength and determination we see across our Cornwell Tools dealer network.

We are excited to support JFR as they enter another milestone year in the NHRA and as they prepare to announce additional partnerships in the coming weeks. Together, our focus is clear: continue building momentum, elevate our presence in the industry, and chase another championship in 2026.
