After winning his fourth Funny Car title in 1994, Force earned the nickname of “Brute Force” from drivers, and even announcers such as Steve Evans. This nickname hearkens back to his early days on the track, when he drove his own unsponsored car, named “Brute Force”. Force had a cameo in a 2004 episode of King of the Hill (“Dale Be Not Proud”), in which Dale Gribble donates a kidney to Force, after which it appears he does not need it. Wiper blades are one of the most neglected components on most vehicles today.

Effective July 2013 Jimmy Prock replaced Mike Neff as crew chief, and Mike Neff became crew chief for Robert Hight. Neff, who was once the crew chief for rival driver Gary Scelzi, raced in a 4th Funny Car for JFR from October 26, 2007, following the death of Eric Medlen, until the end of the 2009 season. However, in 2010, after a 2009 season in which Force did not win a single race, Force parked his 4th car, and named Neff as his new crew chief instead. This decision resulted in Force winning his 15th NHRA Championship.
