John Force, 75, suffered a traumatic brain injury when his engine exploded and his car collided with two concrete retaining walls during the first round of the Virginia Nationals. Brittany shared the photo on Instagram on Sunday, confirming a team statement from earlier in the weekend that her father would be admitted to a rehabilitation facility.
The team’s statement also noted that the “likely” next step would be “a move to a long-term facility specializing in TBI and associated symptoms.”
John Force has won 157 races and 16 NHRA titles throughout his storied career. He won nine championships in the 1990s and then won six Funny Car titles in the first seven years of the 2000s before his most recent two titles in 2010 and 2013. He was second in the 2024 points standings at the time of his crash.
Brittany Force currently races in the NHRA’s Top Fuel division and skipped last week’s event in Ohio to be with her father at the hospital.
