The roots run deep at AMP. Although we don’t do a lot of reporting on the straight line guys, John Force is an icon in all of motorsports. Everyone here at Amarillo Motorsports Power Hour are so happy that he is out of intensive care. Our host Tommy Tee’s Father Ed Tortoreo was an executive with M&M Mars and Jolly Rancher and was instrumental and introducing nontraditional sponsors to both the NHRA and NASCAR. Ed and John were very close and John gave his Wally for winning this event to Ed’s wife Joanna. This Wally is a family heirloom in Tommy’s home and sits proudly on display. We are so happy that John is on the track to recovery. Godspeed John.

She was DRIVEN to graduate from NASCAR’s “Drive For Diversity Program“.
She was DRIVEN to become “America’s Tire Changer”.
She is DRIVEN to be a powerful content provider for a top Motorsports Program.
What a coincidence that she would be an ambassador for DRIVEN SUNGLASSES.
