GREAT NEWS: NHRA great John Force reportedly breaks silence after his ghastly Virginia crash and sends a heartfelt message to all his fans

John Force, an NHRA legend, was aware before being evacuated to a medical facility following a fiery incident Sunday at Virginia Motorsports Park.

During the first round of Funny Car eliminations, the engine of the 75-year-old Force’s car exploded at the finish line, pushing the vehicle across the centerline and into both guard walls.

The NHRA claimed that Force was alert and was assessed on the track by the NHRA Medical Team before being transported to a medical facility.

Force won his record-breaking 157th NHRA race three weeks ago in New Hampshire, his second of the season.

Force, 58, was severely injured in a racing accident in Ennis, Texas, in 2007.

Chase Elliott and Joey Logano crashed in the last stage of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

On lap 194 of 301, Logano’s No. 22 Team Penske Ford struggled to turn in the first bend and collided with Elliott’s No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Elliott restarted 11th, Logano 12th. Both vehicles were damaged, but they continued down the race order.

Logano grabbed the green flag sixth in Sunday’s USA Today 301, after Elliott began from pole position. Logano informed his No. 22 team over the radio that he believed something had broken in the right front and that the car would not turn before colliding with Elliott’s No. 9.

Elliott started the tournament as the Cup Series points leader. Logano was positioned 15th in the standings prior to the race, with a preliminary playoff ranking of minus-6 in relation to the elimination bubble.
