Las Vegas, Sunday:  2007 Rookie of the Year Ashley Force defeated fellow Countdown competitor Ron Capps in the first round before falling to Tony Pedregon in round number two. Force will finish the season in the middle of the Countdown pack which is a solid improvement over last year’s 10^th place POWERade finish. Force is currently in 6^th place only 58 and 56 points out of 4^th and 5^th place, respectively.

“We all qualified good for starters so we went into the race feeling good about our chances. The first round was great for our whole team. Every one of us won and we all had good runs. I actually had the worst run and we had a little luck that round. In the second round we lost and Neff lost but dad and Robert both won. It could have been a better round but that is just how it happens some time,” said the 2007 Rookie of the Year. “We gained some points and half of the big hitters went out early and the other half extended their points lead. We’ll just have to go into Pomona and do the best that we can. The pressure is really on Robert. He has a great shot at number but we are just trying to move up spots. He definitely has a shot at the championship.”
