[edit] Drag racing career

As a Top Alcohol division rookie, she won three of the season’s final five races including the 50th annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals at Indianapolis, and the season-ending Automobile Club of Southern California at Pomona, where she shared the winners’ circle with her father - the NHRA’s first ever father-daughter winners. Ashley finished 2004 fourth in national driver points.

Ashley Force will move up into the funny car division in 2007 driving her father's nitro Mustang Funny Car. Her first drag race against her father will almost certainly mark the first time a father and daughter have competed against each other in pro sports.[1] She lost her first race to Robert Hight.

[edit] Television

She is featured on A&E's reality show "Driving Force" with her family. She has 2 sisters, Courtney, and Brittany, and an older half-sister, Adria.
