History repeated itself today for the 15th time. Completing an improbable comeback, drag racer John Force won the 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Funny Car Championship today in California.
Force needed an upset win by Bob Tasca III over current points leader Matt Hagan today in the first round to take the title. Force defeated Bob Bode to clinch the championship.
The 61-year old Force was badly injured in a crash in Dallas in 2007. He came back in 2008 and 2009, but wasn't completely healthy until 2010 and he made the most of it. Force is celebrating 25 years with his main sponsor Castrol Oil.
