    Motorsports Monday Recap: NHRA MIDWEST NATIONALS BECKMAN WINS Monday, September 30, 2024: In just his fifth start subbing for injured John Force, “Fast Jack” Beckman drove past three-time World Champion Ron Capps Sunday to win the 28th NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway (WWTR) near St. Louis, Missouri. The John Force Racing, Inc. team currently has the top two points leaders in the funny car standings for the NHRA Countdown to the Championship. In an effort to secure a 17th championship for Force, Beckman halted teammate Austin Prock’s three-race winning streak in the semifinals and then, relegated to the less-favored right lane, got around Capps in the final round with a time of 3.856 over Capps at 3.882, winning by a scant 0.012 of a second. It was the first Mission Foods tour victory for Beckman since October 18, 2020, when he beat Matt Hagan to win the Texas Fall Nationals in Dallas (which will be the next stop on the NHRA tour). This marks the 34th Funny Car victory of Beckman’s career and his third at WWTR, where he prevailed in 2012 and 2016. With Sunday’s win, Beckman improved his record since taking over the controls of John Force’s PEAK Antifreeze and Coolant Chevrolet Camaro SS to 12-4. He’s gone to the semifinals or beyond in four straight races and thanks to Prock’s second round victory over Bob Tasca III, “Fast Jack” moved into second place in the driver standings, 105 points behind Prock. Up next the NHRA Countdown to the Championship resumes October 11th at the 39th Texas Fall Nationals in Ennis, Texas, just outside of Dallas.
