Legendary 75-year-old NHRA driver John Force was conscious and communicating with safety personnel right after his high-speed, fiery accident on Sunday during the Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park.
The incident occurred during the first round of Funny Car eliminations when Force's car experienced an engine explosion at the finish line. The vehicle crossed the centerline, hit the left concrete guard wall, and then veered back across the track, striking the right wall.
