As the motorsports community anxiously awaits an update on the condition of NHRA drag racing legend John Force after a horrific crash at the NHRA Virginia Nationals, John Force Racing released a statement Monday evening indicating that the 16-time NHRA champion remains in ICU. 

The crash occurred during the first round of Funny Car eliminations on Sunday afternoon. Force’s engine exploded as he crossed the finish line and his car lost control before hitting the opposite lane's guardrail. Force registered a time of 4.100 seconds, at 302.62 mph.

John Force Racing released a statement Sunday evening indicating that the 75-year old Hall of Fame driver was “conscious and talking to NHRA Safety Safari personnel immediately following the crash.”

The NHRA tour continues this coming weekend in Norwalk, Ohio at Summit Motorsports Park for the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals. Force remains second in the Mission Foods Championship points standings after the completion of the Virginia Nationals. 

We will provide updates on Force's condition as the team makes them available.
