Legendary racer John Force is still in the ICU after he was involved in a fiery crash at the Virginia Motorsports Park on Sunday, June 23.
Force's engine exploded as he was crossing the finish line at the Petersburg, Virginia, racing venue. The vehicle hit both walls of the racetrack due to the impact. Safety personnel “extricated and stabilized” Force before he was transported to a local hospital via a medical helicopter. Force, 75, was conscious and communicative with the rescue team at the scene.
“My dad’s going to be all right. I was in the ambulance with him, holding his hand,” Brittany said to Autoweek on Sunday. “And he’s one of the toughest people I know. So he’ll bounce back, like he always does.”
