Force's championship-winning daughter Brittany will take this weekend off from racing to stay with her father in the hospital.
NHRA legend John Force, 75, has been moved from a trauma intensive care unit to a neuro intensive care unit following a fiery 300-mph drag race crash last weekend, his team announced Thursday. Medical professionals in the neuro i.c.u. are attending focusing on head injuries he sustained on Sunday, which Force's team calls the 'primary concern' of the group treating the racer.
Funny car points leader and fellow John Force Racing driver Austin Prock will still compete this weekend. Force himself currently sits second in that category's championship, behind only Prock.Force is four days removed from a harrowing 300-mph crash at Virginia Motorsports Park on Sunday, which occurred when his car's engine blew up at the end of a winning pass during elimination racing. That led to separate hits into both walls at enormous speeds.
