Ashley is married to Danny Hood who was Courtney's crew chief, worked on Ashley's car also. Danny Hood is John Hoods son. John Hood was a very long time top crew member of JFR, he left probably more than 15 years ago and works for Don Schumacher racing. John Hood came back to JFR for a few races last year I think, and said nope, went right back to DSR I think.
It appears JFR is slimming down the team by one car, we will see in a few weeks, 2019 Winter nationals. I was hoping maybe Mike Neff would come back! But reading a little seams as sponsorship $$$ might be a factor and management, Pres. Robert Hight, and vice pres. Ashley Force have seen it to be necessary to make some cut backs. John Blew up more than a couple bodies and cars last year, and I forget how much the bare body without the tree cost, 50k, then the tree, paint, ect, 100k each body...then there are motors, chassis....$$$ Its not a "Sportsman" Class! Even a lot of sportsman class's are a rich mans hobby! Alcohol is a Sportsman class. Not that kind, Methanol!
O2SE can come in and straighten this out if my memory has been banged around too many times...lol
