John Force Racing, Prock Family Part Ways
John Force Racing and Austin and Jimmy Prock have ended the racing partnership that produced NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Funny Car championships the past two seasons, according to the NHRA.
"John Force Racing has been doing what we do for more than 50 years and all the hard work preparing for the 2026 NHRA season continues as planned with four race teams and the Force American Made machine shop," said 16-time NHRA Funny Car Champion and team owner John Force. "We appreciate the strength and backing of all of the great sponsors that support us so we're focused on the future that includes announcing additional partnerships in the coming weeks.
"We are very proud of our accomplishments with the Prock family. I wish them well and I understand that their decision to move on is just part of the business we're in."
Austin Prock earned all 21 of his NHRA victories, 17 in Funny Car and four in Top Fuel, for John Force Racing. Jimmy Prock, Austin's father and crew chief, was with John Force Racing in 2001-2014 and again from 2017 to 2025, according to the NHRA.
