On Saturday Jane Lown, of Las Vegas, Nevada, won the washer and dryer combo as Force captured the 145th No. 1 qualifier of his career.  Today Rhonda Hansen, of Madison, Wisconsin, won the 55” flat screen TV when John Force outran his daughter Courtney for the first time in a final round.

“I wanted to prove I could still race. (Wife) Laurie (Force) has been the best thing for me. She said. ‘If you would quit sitting on the end of the bed whining about what is going on. If you get out there and just win then winning fixes everything.’ That just got my head right. Go win that is what you are paid to do. I am good. I am tough enough. I am young enough to race and nobody loves it more than me. I am the sixteen time champ!,” said Force.
