Ashley Force Castrol GTX Ford Mustang

Topeka, Sunday: Ashley Force and the Castrol GTX Ford Mustang were dispatched by Mike Ashley in round two.  Although she put up the quickest time of the round at 4.926 seconds, Ms. Force lost to a slower time (4.947) because of a starting line disadvantage.

 “If I can just be more consistent on my lights I think we have a good package going into the summer races when the weather is not going to allow for high speeds and low ETs,” Ashley said.  “We had a really good car today (but) I wasn’t tremendous on the light.  I talked to Guido (crew chief Dean Antonelli) and I apologized to him.  The team is giving me a great car and I am just screwing up. He said that is all part of (the learning experience).  We know different ways to fix some of this stuff (and) I’m going to practice my reaction times.”
