Breaking: John Force Sells Racing Team to Elon Musk in Shocking Motorsports Deal

Concord, NC — April 10, 2025

In a move that has stunned the motorsports world, NHRA drag racing icon John Force has officially sold his legendary racing team, John Force Racing, to tech billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk.

The deal, reportedly finalized earlier this week, marks a bold new chapter for both Force’s legacy and Musk’s growing interest in high-performance motorsports. Terms of the sale have not been publicly disclosed, but sources close to the deal suggest it includes the team’s full infrastructure, sponsorship contracts, and intellectual property.

John Force, a 16-time Funny Car champion and one of the most decorated drivers in drag racing history, released a statement Thursday morning confirming the sale.

> “After over four decades of chasing speed and building something I’m proud of, it’s time to pass the torch,” Force said. “Elon’s vision for the future of racing is unlike anything I’ve seen, and I believe he’ll take this team to places I never dreamed possible.”

Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, also confirmed the acquisition via X (formerly Twitter), writing:

> “Excited to bring innovation and clean energy tech to the fastest sport on Earth. John Force Racing is just the beginning.”

Industry insiders are already speculating about Musk’s potential plans to integrate electric or hybrid technology into the drag racing world, a move that would drastically reshape a sport known for its raw horsepower and nitromethane-fueled engines.

Force’s daughter, Brittany Force, is expected to remain involved under the new ownership, although her exact role has yet to be clarified.

John Force Racing has been a dominant force in the NHRA since the 1990s, winning multiple championships and becoming one of the most recognizable names in American motorsports.

With this acquisition, Elon Musk’s influence now extends from space and electric vehicles to the quarter-mile track.
