Graham Rahal Performance will be the primary sponsor on Brittany Force’s Top Fuel dragster and Jack Beckman’s Funny Car at the upcoming NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Las Vegas as part of a new partnership with John Force Racing for the 2025 NHRA season.

“When John came to me and spoke of the opportunity to be present on the car, it was extremely intriguing for our company,” said Graham Rahal, president of Graham Rahal Performance, who is married to Force’s youngest daughter, Courtney. “Our expertise in service, custom fabrication, and our other offerings align very well with the drag racing community, and we wanted to put that on display. Courtney and I felt strongly that it was in the best interest of our company to partner with John and everyone at John Force Racing and support my sister-in-law, Brittany, and Jack throughout the year. We’re excited about the relationship with the team and for the people in the NHRA community to see what GRP can do for them.”

Throughout the remainder of the NHRA season, Graham Rahal Performance will maintain a major associate sponsorship with John Force Racing. When the Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals arrive at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, GRP will be showcased on both cars and will also have a presence on-site.

“It’s crazy how small the motorsports family really is,” said Cory Watkins, Graham Rahal’s chief operating officer. “I worked with John Force Racing when it had a total of one national event victory. In the John Force Museum, there’s actually a picture of me holding Brittany at the U.S. Nationals 35 years ago. Now, 23 world championships later, we are reunited at Graham Rahal Performance, the nation’s leader in the sales, service, and aftermarket enhancement of high-performance vehicles.”

This partnership marks another union between two powerhouse families in the racing industry.

“This partnership fires me up,” said John Force, founder and CEO of John Force Racing. “Graham’s not just family — he’s a racer, a businessman, and someone who lives and breathes performance, just like we do. What he’s building with GRP is incredible, and bringing that energy into our pits with Brittany and Jack just feels right. We’re not just putting a name on the car — we’re bringing two racing families together to push the limits on and off the track.”
