Keeping the GOAT and family, crew in my thoughts and prayers 🙏

🙏🙏🙏🙏 I an 76 years old and remember John from the very early days. I cannot Amagine that hit, the body does not recover easy. I worried about brain injury. Praying and wishing him the best.

John needs to get well, get out of the hospital and go open the John Force drag racing museum. Give tours and narration. The fans would really enjoy that.

The doctors threating him; along with his personal physician, probably will recommend that he retire as a "drag car driver". I hope he listens to them - he is the G.O.A.T. Funny Car Driver, so has nothing to prove anymore.

I’m 70, still drag racing, but not at 300+ mph. That’s silly if you ask me, especially at 75. When we get older we are nowhere near as resilient as when we were young. Johns not stupid, just doesn’t want to let it go. Mother Nature has other plans for us all! I hope he recovers and announces his retirement. No one would blame him. He’s done it all with nothing left to prove. He is the reigning GOAT in Funny Cars. God Bless John and family! 👍😎🇺🇸❤️

Yes amen 🙏🏻 praying 🙏🏻 for John force and his family ❤

Prayers for John.

Why Don’t NHRA Use Soft Walls , Like NASCAR 🤔

I believe John has a either a very severe concussion or he has swelling of the brain. A concussion is bad, but if the brain swells that could mean brain damage. With all the crashes and head injuries he has had if he goes back to racing and does not hang up his helmet I feel he is asking for something even worst. We all love John and watching him race, but enough is enough. We have John now and I am afraid we may loose him if he does not quit now.

John Force would be considered a VIP at any hospital because of his notoriety. His notoriety alone would insure his stay in ICU. The fact that John is still in ICU doesn't mean infer anything. Blood vessels could have sheared. Such things take time to reveal themselves.

FACTS... U are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY MOST DEFINITELY RIGHT, being in ICU doesn't necessarily mean he's on the brink of crossing over, yes it is an unfortunate fact that for some folks ICU could possibly mean it's the last room they'll be in HOWEVER that is definitely not the case for everyone! ICU means "Intensive Care Unit" it literally explains itself! John Force is in ICU because he is in need of "INTENSIVE CARE" durrr... He's basically getting special treatment, the best of the best are constantly tending to him and his needs and monitoring him and his conditions to make sure he's okay and that is all!! But unfortunately people always think negative never positive and that's sad very very sad...

The memorial piece was spot on. Love them all.❤❤😊

God bless John Force and his family. Praying for his speedy recovery ❤‍🩹

When John Force hit the wall on the left side it was a major impact. That had to hurt. After he was on the gurnee he sat up to address Brittany and he looked in pain.

Please get the facts re: the wreck. He hit the wall twice, and both were with tremendous force!!

If Johns condition is unknown by now it is not good. The doctors will probably not medically clear him for some time, and probably recommend he not race anymore like they did with Swervin Ernie Irvin and Neil Bonnet.

Prayers for John and family he is such a amazing driver

I love John, I would hang-up my helmet as John doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. I hope he is around another 20 years to enjoy his family and the racing enterprise he has built. A legend for sure! Heal well & quickly John.

We've (Cal State Fullerton)won a few of those college W.S. Congratulations! John Force lives not too far from us in Yorba Linda Ca. Great guy! Heal fast John.

Praying for him and his family as anyone in motorsports or even those not even a fan. But they all know his name, his fame and his girls. John is like NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt to Funny Cars and drag racing. I've always been a NASCAR fan and I remember losing Dale. It happened on my birthday and thing is, I wasn't a hardcore Dale fan. I hated him in the early years, but loved him in his golden years. But that is what John means, and it's time Mr Force. Time for you to pass the torch and find that new thrill from the outside.....

Courtney who is married to Graham is younger than Brittany Ashley is married to his crew chief. You must not know much about Force.

Best wishes to John, Get well soon......

Nobody is talking about how these drivers were dealing with extreme heat, and all of the drivers were able to get out of their helmets and drivers suits.. not John. He sat for WAY too long in that heat AFTER THE FIRE while extrication took place, just boiling in that car and fire suit. Big prayers for the man, he is so lucky to be breathing today.

reminded me of the bad apple crash, side impacts are tuff on the body. Also said somewhere else its time to rethink the tethers that stop the automatic parachute releases.

The man sat up on the stretcher to talk to Brittany after getting taken out of the car, was not like he was unconscious or something, guess doctors are just being cautious

Sad I’ve wanted him to get out a couple of years ago Love Him😢

Praying for.John. He is most likely experiencing blunt.force trauma and traumatic brain injury.

Just wait for the facts to come out! Everyone thinks that they need to speculate on his condition and future! He’ll do what he thinks is right for him, not us! Say a pray for the guy!

If they aren't working on his injuries then it's likely a head injury

Heat race this guy has zero clue.

JOHN IS A LEGEND / HE IS A SURVIVOR / REGROOP / 158 BY YEARS END / THE BIG GUY SAYS I DON" T YOU YET 😅😊😅

Force is the man

We.love.john.force ..

No, he announced retirement last week, no date, but he said I'm there. Prok gonna replace him.

I know its got to be SO DIFFICULT. To get out of the CAR.

he saw Elvis again but this time he had Jesus with him. it's a sign John. enjoy your grandkids

Love him

JF transferred from ICU to Neuro ICU, to better care for (probable) head injury

A lot of unnecessary jabbering and no information 😮

Based on what you are saying, and from my basic speculation, I think it is clear when he recovers from this, Force is calling it a career. Already announced 3 weeks ago he turning the keys over to Robert Height. And it seems clearer based on what you're saying he won't be driving in Ohio. And probably not in Seattle in 2 weeks. You're first person to say he was in Intensive Care. That was not disclosed yesterday or Sunday. You don't walk out of an ICU and go back to work. But perhaps it's fair to say Sunday was John's last race. Probably getting encouragement/advice from family and friends now that he should quit now. perhaps doctors are telling him your done. But that's my educated guess. He's not going to climb into a nitro Funny Car and compete again. He survived this accident. He may not survive the next one.

I think JF should retire after this accident. Previous Drag Racing champions like Don Garlits and Eddy Hill called it quits after escaping from terrifying crashes. At his age JF has nothing to prove and a new generation of drivers in his team to replace him. ALL the BEST to John Force and John Force Racing.❤

@@michaelhalsall5684 Exactly. After 16 championships, he has nothing more to prove. I think this accident was the cue to give the keys to someone else. He'd be out of his mind to jump back into another Nitro car and complete a run at 300 mph. I said something similar on another video and some dude called me a kid. I'm a big kid at 58. Been there-done that. I was a Tech-dude for another race team in 91-92 and saw close up how Force operates. Guessing the family may be telling him it's over. Time to hang it up. Cheers.

Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie

Knowing how hard he hit that wall he would have been better off not correcting and keeping it on the right wall. That being said at that kind of speed that was just instinct to keep it off the right wall.

Lots of speculation again 🤨. We will not know anything until the Dr's or the Family tell us.

Couldn't finish the video. These guys don't know John Force Racing

To many road courses, need more short tracks but need a better racing package out of this new car!

@michaelhalsall5684

"Short tracks"? The nitro Funny Car and Top Fuel classes already race over the shorter 1000 foot distance rather than the traditional 1320 foot (Quarter Mile) distance.

You should learn some drag racing basics before you try reporting on it. Stick to what you’re good at and leave it for someone else.

Its TIME for Our HEROE to retire.❤❤❤

That hit reminded me a lot of Blaine Johnson’s crash. The one he didn’t walk away from

He’s an incredible person. Fearless, Funny and an American legend. But it makes me furious that the NHRA refuses to update these tracks, widening the lanes, implementing huge soft walls, adding Aqua walls. Push the crowd back and up. That bone crushing slam into the wall was the straw that broke the camels back. Update these tracks, make them safer and faster. It’s simple, You don’t update your off the schedule. This 1950’s technology has to go.

It blows my mind they still run solid concrete walls with these kind of speeds! Why not use Safer Barriers? They have done a tremendous job for safety in Nascar and already saved lives amd countless injuries . Go watch Michael McDowell Qualifying Crash at Texas if he had hir concrete I don't know that he woulda have survived that

The reck he had in 2007 was extremely bad. He was racing Kenny Bernstein. And he almost took out kenny. Bernstein NEVER got back in a car.

This guy is a terrible reporter

He will heal fine and John force will jump back into the car . That’s how he rolls

He's lucky he's alive. He keeps pushing pushing his luck next time he won't be so lucky. These are all warning signs😂😂😂

Its a funny car

I thought you were going to say something useful.

Guys- that much chatter to say you don't know? Total clickbait.

They don't run the same engine all yeah. They have to run 3 in a row then they change. Need to get some facts right...😅

For a guy who claims to have a lot of contacts within the sport, he sure doesn’t seem to know much if anything about it 🤪

A update on john force takes 2 minutes tops not 40,another waste of time snd space by a user that talks for no reason, thank you you tube for not vetting videos
