John Force wins at Indy for 5th time, ties record

INDIANAPOLIS -- John Force raced to his fifth career victory at Indianapolis, winning the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals on Monday.

Force tied Ed "Ace" McCulloch for the most Funny Car wins in Indy history, powering his Camaro to a run of 3.919 seconds at 324.44 mph to beat Jack Beckman. It was the second win this year for the 70-year-old Force, the 151st in his career and his first at Indy since 2012.

"Someday I've got to go out that door, and I said two things: It would sure be nice to win a championship and it would sure be nice to win Indy one more time," Force said.
