John Force Family Release Sad Message To Fans.

The motorsports world is reeling from a recent high-speed incident involving legendary drag racer John Force. During the first round of eliminations at the Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsport Park, John Force suffered a harrowing accident. While crossing the finish line in his Chevy Camaro Funny Car, traveling over 300mph, his vehicle’s engine dramatically exploded, causing Force to lose control. The car veered across the centerline, colliding with both guard walls before finally coming to a stop.

Immediately following the crash, Force remained alert and was able to communicate with the on-site National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) medical team. He was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital, where he was first placed in the trauma intensive care unit but later moved to the neuro intensive care unit for specialized treatment for head injuries, as confirmed by his team.

“Four days after his crash at more than 300 miles per hour, drag racing champion John Force has moved from the trauma intensive care unit to the neuro intensive care unit, where the medical team can focus on his head injury which is their primary concern,” the update reads.

“The move was a welcome positive for his family members, who have maintained a daily presence at the hospital all week.

“With the unanimous support of her family, team, and sponsors, Brittany Force is not planning to compete this week at the Summit Racing Equipment Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, where she would have driven the Cornwell Tools Chevrolet Top Fuel dragster. Instead, she will remain at the hospital with her family in solidarity for her father.

“Austin Prock will compete this weekend with the same courageous, fighting spirit that John has embodied and instilled in his teams over the years, and his AAA Chevrolet Camaro SS team will proudly carry the torch for the entire John Force Racing organization and sponsors this weekend.
