John Force Doesn't Have A Filter -- And It's Our Favorite Thing About Him

When you think about all of the interviews on the Dale Jr. Download that instantly became classic, no list is complete without John Force's episode from April of 2019. The NHRA Superstar gets - we'll just say "candid" - about his life as a father, drag racer, and unique character. From seeing the apparition of Elvis in the midst of a fiery crash to meeting Dale Earnhardt himself, every story John tells seems to get more incredible as the show goes along. The Funny Car driver also shares that he gleaned some inspiration from Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s book 'Racing To The Finish' and even opens up about his personal struggles with mental health. John Force finishes the interview how only he can - leaving everyone laughing so hard they are hoping to catch their breath after an admission about the "worst thing that ever happened to him." We hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as we loved taping it over 5 years ago. Truly a DJD Classic for the books!
