However, shortly afterwards, she began focusing on being a professional drag racer.

Drag Racing Career

In 2004, Force became a Top Alcohol Dragster Rookie, winning three of the five final races of the season, even sharing the winners’ circle with her father in one event. In 2007 she moved to the professional ranks, and joined her father’s team John Force Racing. She drove a Castrol-sponsored Mustang, and they made NHRA history when she along with her father became the first father-daughter to race each other; she won the race and would advance to the semifinals. She also became the first female to compete in a national series TF/FC final round, although she was defeated. Despite that, her achievements earned her the Rookie of the Year Award.

During the next year, she reached the final round of three separate competitions, and though she lost two of those final races, she became the first female racer to lead the NHRA Funny Car point standings. Her final opponent for the third competition was her father who was racing for his 1000th round win of his career; she would go on to win that competition and set the second quickest speed of the weekend at 4.837 seconds.

Later Career

In 2009, Ashley had the second win of her career and would go on to become a part of the US nationals, being the first female driver to win at Indianapolis and also the first female driver to win in two different classes. She also gained her fourth and fifth career number one qualifying wins that year. Two years later, she become the President of John Force entertainment which focused on media products and projects, then announced that she would go on hiatus that season as she was expecting a child, so her father drove her GTX Ford for the season.

Her sisters also started racing at this point, and Courtney would become the fourth driver of the John Force team driving a Traxxas Ford Mustang. In 2012, she then became the President for John Force Entertainment, and despite not racing actively for the past few years, has declared that her racing career is not over.

The renewal will allow her to be a test or reserve driver if necessary.
