NHRA Funny Car legend John Force has been transitioned into a neurological intensive care unit following his fiery crash at the Virginia Nationals on Sunday.
Force’s engine exploded at the end of his first-round race and his car subsequently slammed into two different outside retaining walls before coming to a rest. Force was helped from his car after the crash by NHRA safety crew members, and the team said Sunday night that the 75-year-old was conscious and communicating with those safety workers after the crash.
John Force Racing said in a statement Thursday that Force had previously been in a trauma intensive care unit and that his head injury is the “primary concern” of doctors. The team has not provided any other specifics about Force’s injuries but said in the statement that Force faces a “long road ahead.”
