John Force Moved To Neuro ICU As Family Release Sad Message To Fans
Immediately following the crash, Force remained alert and was able to communicate with the on-site National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) medical team. He was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital, where he was first placed in the trauma intensive care unit but later moved to the neuro intensive care unit for specialized treatment for head injuries, as confirmed by his team.
“Four days after his crash at more than 300 miles per hour, drag racing champion John Force has moved from the trauma intensive care unit to the neuro intensive care unit, where the medical team can focus on his head injury which is their primary concern,” the update reads.
“The move was a welcome positive for his family members, who have maintained a daily presence at the hospital all week.
“With the unanimous support of her family, team, and sponsors, Brittany Force is not planning to compete this week at the Summit Racing Equipment Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, where she would have driven the Cornwell Tools Chevrolet Top Fuel dragster. Instead, she will remain at the hospital with her family in solidarity for her father.
“Austin Prock will compete this weekend with the same courageous, fighting spirit that John has embodied and instilled in his teams over the years, and his AAA Chevrolet Camaro SS team will proudly carry the torch for the entire John Force Racing organization and sponsors this weekend.
“The Force family is grateful for the team of medical professionals who are caring for John, and for the overwhelming number of heartfelt messages of prayer, support, and concern. Thank you for continuing to respect the privacy of the family and John Force Racing team members.”
The Force family, anchored at the hospital since the incident, has shown immense solidarity. John’s daughter, Brittany Force, has chosen to skip the upcoming Summit Racing Equipment Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, to stay by her father’s side. She expresses unwavering faith in her father’s resilience, stating:

We know that’s a part of the sport. That’s how this sport goes. I wouldn’t be his daughter if I wasn’t back up here in that car, trying to win this thing with this team for him.”
Reflecting on Force’s condition and spirit, team member Austin Prock, who claimed victory at the event following the crash, said:
