“Houston Raceway Park has been good to me over the years,” Force said. “The Angel Family put on a great show and NHRA is working hard to make this one special. PEAK, they wanted to do something special for the 20th anniversary of my 100th win and I’m excited to get out and show this Chevy hot rod off.”
After four races this season Force is ranked fifth in the points standings and he trails points leader Matt Hagan by 177 points.
