Jack Beckman returns to drive for John Force in 2025

[@merylpelosi8485]

Absolutely couldn't find a better driver for that team. Best of luck, Jack!

[@henryg683]

A true bitter sweet moment it’s amazing for Jack to be back but sad for John to not be back in the seat!! But I know that it must have been a very difficult decision for John to come to step out of the seat but he isn’t getting younger and gave us many amazing years of driving!!! Ask me how I know how difficult it is to recover from an injury and get back to where you were before it,it isn’t fun!!! Love to John and the entire FORCE team and Lets Go FAST JACK!!!

[@richardbailey6559]

Fast Jack will be a great fit

[@johndean2110]

I know all about recovering from a injury.

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

That's awesome for Fast Jack to still have a ride with John Force Racing, I see a Championship coming in 2025 with Jack congrats been a fan of Jack for years glad he's back he deserves to have a ride.

[@donsavignano4396]

I have always liked Jack Beckman. Very personalble even when he drove for DSR. Hopefully I will get a picture with Jack in 2025

[@alfredvigilotti3709]

Congratulations Jack,,,and to Mr. Speed,,hope to still see ya around John,and Merry Christmas to you,and Family 👍 🏁

[@lmoore5994]

So glad to see this decision. Jack is a terrific driver, a true professional. He clearly "clicked" with the JFR team. His many years of experience is a tremendous asset. I've been a John Force fan since the mid 70's. I hope John can just be thankful he got through this one and be content, happy, completely fulfilled enjoying the rest of his career as an owner. Just enjoy you time with your family, contributing to the operation of JFR, and just being the ELVIS of drag racing ! Good Luck to all at JFR, can't wait to watch 2025 !

[@georgefraserjr1329]

I knew the first time I heard that he was going to be driving a JFR car that he’s the perfect fit for that car and team,congratulations Fast Jack and JFR !!!!

[@ronadkins1817]

This is great news! We all miss John, but Jack has always been so much fun to watch. I would love to see him drive to a championship again. 2025 is going to be a great season for the fans. Congrats fast Jack.

[@shanemcfadden5439]

Congratulations fast jack

[@qg8825]

Good for you Jack!💪🏽🙏🏾

[@MartinWinkler-y9d]

Who's going to fix the elevators now that Fast Jack's back in a racecar ? Love him. Humble, professional & a true Champion ~~~~~!!

[@matzrat5006]

We take the stairs and enjoy Fast Jack behind the wheel in 2025!

[@rvea1985]

That’s Excellent Great to hear that Congratulations Jack!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vehdynam]

Great news for Jack ! This is the best news possible considering the circumstances. Wise choice Old World Industries.

[@wolfman3295]

YES!!! Congrats Jack!! I was hoping for this great news. Hopefully John will make a few appearances next year just not in his car due to his recovery but just to see him back at the strips again would be so great!

[@johnhaas2523]

If he is good enough to travel he probably will

[@nevadadan4113]

Peak couldn't have made a better choice than Jack Beckman. There's nothing he hasn't seen or can't do while sitting behind the wheel of a Funny Car. Exciting times ahead, for sure. I'm predicting Jack Beckman wins the 2025 championship!!

[@brianiswrong]

While it might seem sad, iam delighted john can step out the peak seat, head held high, run the team, deal the deals, promote the sport and sponsors. Jack will be a brilliant replacement. John you have nothing to prove, you have walked the walk, talked the talk ❤

[@richkuban2027]

Very well said. Couldn’t agree more!

[@StevenGrieb]

John is the best there is made a excellent choice with Jack take your time John we love you

[@RandyLewis-e9m]

Go Fast Jack! Can’t wait for next season.

[@johnhines2482]

Congratulations Fast Jack

Jack is one class act go fast jack

Jack is class act

[@Slugg-O]

Jack is the perfect match for '25 and beyond. He's a great guy and a great fit for JFR

[@patrickbachman2184]

Fast Jack.... 👍

[@john-conniewilliams]

Well done JFR,well done.Jack may make it #17!!!

[@warrenpemberton-ww9fq]

Fast Jack see you in Seattle can't wait!!!

[@cartdoc]

Get back! Fast Jack is back! Jack understands the racecar as well

[@dinomares5697]

Good job love you From Dino Mares Fontana CA

[@cskvision]

Love seeing Fast Jack back for 2025, but still hoping John is able to return to the driver's seat for one more season, maybe 2026. His final pass end in an accident doesn't sit well at all. A final safe pass in victory will. John says he wants to, but the question remains of if he's able to at 76.

[@velvetjones1856]

I think it is wise for John Force to step back from driving and become the mentor to the team like Don Schumacher did. Force has a lot of knowledge to offer for the young kids. He's got enough family to fill the grid if he wants to.

[@franksavard8459]

Congratulations fast jack!!!!

[@waynekellett8465]

🙏👏🔥🏁 Congratulations To JFR ,Jack Beckmann & Especially “PEAK” May The Good Lord Keep His Healing Hands On “JOHN” 🏁❤️👏🙏

[@chief3378]

Very good choice I think fast Jack Beckman will do an excellent job for the 2025 season

[@markpolacek7840]

Way to go fast jack!😊

[@14MsRazorback]

Couldn't have made a better choice than keeping Fast Jack. I miss my John. But this gives him the time he needs 👊👍🤟💞

[@vincereynolds6092]

In addition to being a great driver Jack is one of the sport's greatest ambassadors. Perfect replacement for John! 😊

[@shanekrier615]

Fast jack is a great guy and driver. Can't wait to see him again along with my kids in brainerd mn in August of 2025!!

[@DonMcConaughy]

Great to hear!!!!

[@curtissears8878]

Great job Jack, good for you.

[@johndean2110]

Congratulations Jack.👍

[@michaelhealy6797]

Can't get better than fast Jack.

[@karenguglielmo963]

I think John made an excellent choice by having Jack back driving the car

[@jamessquibb7433]

So WELL DESERVED.....

[@markduffy3739]

Way to go Fast Jack!

[@jamesstead1496]

Very cool for Jack to Start..... The year. I just Know that John is getting ready to get back in the seat!! I've followed him all the way through since he started his Funny Car stardom and he's always been that down to earth truckin' son we've always known! Can't wait until the Gator Nationals to see the man!

[@latoyamcdaniel6179]

Yay jack

[@daveboatman4024]

He deserves it!

[@MOTTMOTORSPORTS]

Perfect

[@CrystalSmiddy-l4z]

Congratulations fast Jack beckman

[@nitr0junki3]

I sure hope John can make just one more pass to walk away on.

[@SorryWereOpen247]

...man please!

[@DannyBaker-w9q]

Good deal jack 👍

[@markbogle8062]

All good news

[@retroguyretail1976]

wow this choice was easy but jphn has a road to recovery still. I never imagined the day he stepped outta the car I always joked that he be 90 and find a way to jump in that car. but what happened in Virginia last june changed things best of luck to beckman next year

[@john-conniewilliams]

Unfortunately,I don't see John making any more passes.Think his injuries are just too vast.His reflexes were starting to slow down to the point of almost being dangerous.Jack is gonna go FAR...Capps is my #1,but,Fast Jack is #2....

[@johnhaas2523]

John at the age also that time to enjoy with family and especially the grandkids and Austin become the new face of jfr on the track

No big surprise. A better question is, where’s Hight?

[@johnhaas2523]

In management at jfr

[@mikebaker9574]

And still no word Robert Hight ????

[@johnhaas2523]

I sure he could return but does not want to break up Austin and his dad and brother and he and John probably decided they would keep Jack in John's car instead of Robert returning

[@Capt-Hook]

Loud pedal. Jack's face 😁.

[@skylershank9309]

I hope John never gets in another funny car. I'll miss him competing, but I want him around for many more years.

[@ThomasELeClair]

Please get rid of Tony Pedregon in the booth!!!!!!!!

They can’t because of DEI.

[@TomCole-js1tz]

Bring jjboss back😮😅

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

Beckman is a way better driver than Force! 🎯💯 DSR with Beckman, Capps and Hagan put a major beat down on JFR for many years, crushed them like cockroaches! Better drivers along with a better team. Force had his heyday but it’s been gone since the year Austin Coil was no longer associated, coincidence? Just glad to see Beckman driving even though he was just reduced to nothing more than a hired driver by the condescending Peak rep, dude needs to learn actual people skills!

[@TheBatmanjb]

John Force has done enough. Retire and enjoy your family

[@SorryWereOpen247]

I just do not get those who want JF to climb back in realistically not just from the infatuated aspect smh! ...one of life's biggest choices is [knowing] when to call spades!

[@paulhughes4531]

When is John coming back

[@747heavyboeing3]

He probably isn't.

[@richkuban2027]

So much class in this operation from PEAK to John Force, the Force family, Jack Beckman, and to EVERY team member from the track to the shop.

[@EdwardDean-z4f]

Robert Hight?

[@mtl-ss1538]

@@747heavyboeing3 - Johns happy. he has read Dale jr book & found porn hub. !!!

[@mofer35]

So. John Force retired for good?!?! 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@johnhaas2523]

Nothing announced but more than likely he is done

[@firerock1611]

That reveal was the most clunky thing ever , I swear NHRA is a joke when it comes to video production, especially the blond lady’s interviews with the drivers during races Better off turning down the sound and putting Skynyrd on

[@MarkSmith-vb7ym]

Smart smart move Jack Beckman is a hell of a racer and he loves it and John needs just like him I think Beckman will win a lot of races and do the best job anybody could do in that car Smart move John
