John Force suffers a horrific accident in round one of eliminations at the NHRA Virginia Nationals. Force’s Funny Car starts moving around before a major explosion occurs, which results in the drag racing legend making heavy contact with the wall at speeds over 300 mph.

stay safe john
Prayers for John Force and his family.🙏
Anytime you peddle theres a chance Nitro will build up too much
pressure and fragment the motor!
Stupid human tricks = what you want, is irrelevant : What You Have Chosen….is at ….hand. Good Luck, to all big, grown – up children.
Probably time to retire while we can still walk. Just saying John.
Praying for you John I just say this
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love you man! Hope your ok!
They should make OUR cars this durable. smh. We get plastic deathtraps and these guys get steel hellpods.
I didn’t see an airbag deploy. Is that a weight reduction decision, or do drag racers use an injury prevention mechanism that’s better than airbags (eg, 5 point harness)?
I'm surprised these drag strips haven't implemented a NASCAR style safer barrier on their walls yet. I really hope we get to see John race again. I have been watching him race my entire life.
I wish him and his family well during this time and hoping for his recovery. John Force is an amazing racer and his JFR team a force to reckon with.
🔥🔥
Talk about wadding up a car. John is tough as nails. He will be back.
thats why you wear the fire suites etc etc
I guess he couldn't feel that dead cylinder
Why does NHRA not have SAFER barriers like NASCAR on the walls?
It's gonna take a lot more than a catastrophic engine failure and a major crash to make John Force hang up everything he wears for racing, he's been through this before.Get well soon , John Force.❤❤
JF is one tough MF’er.
2 words. SAFER Barriers.
OK, I thought the chutes were supposed to automatically deploy after an engine explosion, @ 1:10 they're still in their cases.
Been watching Force race since back in the days of his Brute Force Monza. He is a legend! However, this is certainly one of the hardest hits I have seen him take.
