Legendary NHRA driver John Force is making steady progress in his recovery after a devastating crash at the Virginia Nationals in late June. The 16-time Funny Car world champion has been moved from the neuro-intensive care unit to an acute neuro care unit, indicating positive developments in his treatment for a traumatic brain injury. While his condition remains serious, his family and fans are hopeful as he shows signs of improvement, albeit facing a long recovery journey ahead.
In the midst of her father’s recovery, Brittany Force made a heartfelt decision to sit out the Norwalk race to support her father. However, she is now preparing for a significant comeback at the NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle. This race holds special importance as Flav-R-Pac, Brittany’s sponsor, is the title sponsor of the event, adding an extra layer of motivation for the two-time Top Fuel world champion .
Currently ranked fourth in points, Brittany Force is determined to secure her first victory of the season. The Seattle event marks the second race of the NHRA’s Western Swing, a critical series leading up to the Countdown to the Championship playoffs. A win in Seattle would not only boost her standing but also serve as a morale booster for her team, which has shown promising performance despite the recent challenges.
