reality show? Just watched a couple episodes on A&E. It's called "Driving Force". Pretty cool to see his oldest daughter Ashley walking in her dad's footsteps. Has anybody else seen it?

Pretty cool show! Poor old John has a lot to learn about being a Dad though.Did you see the part where he spilled the beer ! I laughed my A$$ off at that part! Got to give the guy credit though he does try!

John is an awesome guy (when he doesn't have to show off or play up to the cameras). Lynn, Holly and I met him a few years ago at the Checker, Schucks Kragen Nationals here in Phoenix through a friend of ours.

John is exceptional around children with special needs (as he had polio growing up). John took all three of us back to where his family was sitting (he lost in the first round) and introduced us to all of them. After offering us something to eat...he opened up a bunch of drawers on his rig and told Holly to pick out whatever she wanted...which she did. He then proceeded to autograph everything for her.

Like I said...Awesome guy

<font color="blue">I have seen the first two episodes.
Even though I am a drag racer, it really hasn't
got my attention. I don't know why, but outside of
some of the video, the reality part does nothing
for me at all. *** IMO ***

Looks like he REALLY likes his BEER !!!Just about every shot he was chugging a beer down.

One of the things I like about John is his accessibility. Even with all the corporate demands on these guys, John seems to really care about the fans. If you've ever stuck around after an event, he seems to calm down and truly enjoy talking with them. We spent over an hour with him, Bernie, Austin and Jimmy Prock, sitting on the steps of John's coach after the 2004 Gateway Nationals. Like Bruce said, he was very generous with his time, his autographs and some 'collectibles'. We walked away with almost a dozen pieces; all signed by everyone there.
I taped the Monday night show but haven't taken the time to sit down and watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

Watching John trying to do the right thing is almost painfull. I feel for the guy. I think its funny how he often says "i wish i had son's". They guy seems to be a little to tightly wound.
