Holy smokes, John Force not only took a year (and 25 losses) between wins, but on his 700th Funny Car race, won his 150th time, at age 70!

Racing Capps for a title for the 20th time in his career, Force sped through the traps in 3.971 seconds at 320.58 mph for the win.

You wanna hear excited? (censored version)



or uncensored version



The magnitude of Sunday’s accomplishment cannot be overstated insomuch as no other pro driver has won as many as even 100 races.

Second all-time is Warren Johnson, who won 97 Pro Stock events before retiring in 2013.

Among active drivers, four-time NHRA Pro Stock champ Greg Anderson has 93 wins.
Eight-time Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher, inactive this season, has won 84 events.
Ron Capps is second on the Funny Car list with 62.

Even before he hoisted the Seattle trophy for a record ninth time, second only to his 11 victories in the Lucas Oil Nationals at Brainerd, Minn., John Force had secured a record 35th consecutive Top 10 finish in NHRA’s Mello Yello Series.
