Legendary drag racer John Force, 75, experienced a severe accident during the Virginia Nationals, where his car's engine exploded at over 300 mph, causing it to crash into both guard walls. He was initially placed in a trauma intensive care unit but has since been moved to a neuro intensive care unit to focus on his head injuries. Force's condition is improving but he faces a long recovery. His daughter, Brittany Force, has opted to stay by his side, skipping upcoming races, while team member Austin Prock continues to compete. The Force family has expressed gratitude for the medical care and overwhelming support from fans.
