Nascar put the limits on how many teams you can have a couple of years ago when Jack R. had 6 cars in the fields. They said you can only have 4 or 5 and thats it but, it didn't stop them they just found different "partners" to field the other teams. Just like I see happening if they put a limit on Forces teams you will see Ashley Force LLC. or Laurie Force LLC to offset the other teams. Does Tony have a point...I'd say yes cause he raced Cruz fair and square at BIR and Tony beat him cause thats they way it should be, did John take a dive for his team if I were a betting man I'd put my money on it but, I know if I lined up against either a team car or a good buddy who was in the hunt in the championship I might just happen to red-light or shut the car off on the line.

As far as the shoving deal at the end it was all for TV. Gary Gerald and John Kearnan just kept fueling the fire. Tony would say this then they go to John, then to Cruz then back to Tony then to Force. It was like High School all over again with the "He Said, She said" but instead of meeting at 12 oclock lunch they did it at the end of the track. I know if 2 sportsman guys got out of their car and did what JF/TP did we would not be racing any NHRA events anytime in the future. Face it Force is the face of NHRA, people who have never watched a Drag Race before know JF and they scored an Ace with the little deal at the end, Heck it made SportsCenter and the Coverage at Charlotte will prob be the highest rated program ever for NHRA.

For several years, there has been a 4 car team limit in the NHRA Pro classes. If, in 2 years, Brittany and Courtney move up to a Pro class, there can still only be 4 JFR FCs; it would make more sense for them to go to TF.
