Providing they don't get rained out. They are moving up the start time so they can finish before the storms hit this afternoon. I think qualifying was only 2 sessions instead of 3.
It's supposed to be on FS1 tonight @ 7pm Eastern.

Ooooooohhhhh that one left a mark! Hope he's all good. 300 mph is movin' at a pretty good clip. Glad he seemed ok as far as we could see.

Still no update. No chutes were deployed, which I think is weird - I thought they'd automatically deploy if the motor let go? I bet that with as big of a side impact as there was, he was KO'd for a bit. The car is toast, but it did it's job.
All I know is that he was in ICU but no report on what his injuries are yet.

I got John Force to autograph my race ticket in Joliet last month.
We wish him a full and speedy recovery!

Less than two weeks after 16-time NHRA Funny Car world champion John Force suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), among other injuries that included a fractured sternum and a right wrist injury, following an engine explosion that sent his Funny Car into a concrete guard wall at over 300 miles per hour, doctors acknowledged his positive response to treatment. Force has moved out of neuro-intensive care and into acute neuro care at the hospital where he was transported by air ambulance on June 23. The latest upgrade was welcomed by Force family members who have maintained a presence at the hospital since the NHRA icon’s arrival, but medical professionals emphasized once again that the journey ahead will be a long and difficult one. Although Force is still dealing with cognitive and behavioral symptoms from his TBI, the fact that the Hall of Fame driver can converse with medical staff, family members, and John Force Racing president Robert Hight, who flew in this week, is an encouraging sign. However, there have also been periods of confusion, which doctors say require time and patience to treat. Also noteworthy was the fact that the 75-year-old grandfather of five has regained his equilibrium to the point that he has been able to start walking with the assistance of medical staff members. According to family, the next step for the man whose career has spanned six decades likely will be a move to a long-term facility specializing in TBI and associated symptoms. A time frame for that move has not yet been determined. www.nhra.com/news/2024/update-john-force-out-intensive-care-continuing-progress |
