John Force wanted to know whether his daughter Ashley was ready to graduate to the Funny Car class, but will he abide by SportsNation's answer?

VOICES
Tony Schumacher
After winning a title few thought was possible, Tony Schumacher writes in his final diary of the season he has plenty to be thankful for.
Ron Capps
It was a draining year on Funny Car driver Ron Capps. He writes in his diary that as tough as losing the title was, he's still counting the year a success.
Antron Brown
Antron Brown is happy all the time anyway, so don't be surprised if it's hard to see a change in his mood if he wins his first title, writes Bill Stephens.
