This week, Amanda Busick talks with Courtney Force about the pressure of growing up as John Force’s daughter and explores how Courtney has embraced each chapter of her personal evolution - daughter, winning NHRA racer, wife of IndyCar racer Graham Rahal, and now, a mom and committed fundraiser for veterans’ services non-profit Soldier Strong. Courtney discusses the importance of her close bond with her sisters, her decision to follow in her dad’s footsteps, and mastering the intensity of those 3.7 seconds (“at first everything would go black…”). Courtney shares how growing up in a racing family prepared her for her nomadic racing life and why she’d love to see her daughter follow in her footsteps. And maybe, to race again?
