RICHMOND, Va. \u2013 Drag racing champion John Force remained in the intensive care unit at a Virginia hospital Monday following a catastrophic engine failure that sent his Funny Car slamming into a concrete guardwall at 302 miles per hour during the first round of Sunday\u2019s NHRA Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After NHRA Safety Safari personnel extricated and stabilized the 16-time champion, he was transported by medical helicopter to a trauma hospital where he still was being observed and evaluated on Monday.<\/p>\n

Attending doctors purposely were moving slowly in assessing the extent of the injuries to the Hall of Fame owner and driver because of the intensity of the impact. Medical staff will not provide a treatment and recovery timetable until a total evaluation is completed.<\/p>\n

Force\u2019s daughter Brittany, a two-time World Champion, was joined at the hospital by her mother, Laurie, and sisters, Adria, Ashley, and Courtney. The family will maintain a presence while the team competes this weekend in Norwalk, Ohio<\/p>\n

Updates on the 157-time tour winner\u2019s condition will be released at the discretion of the medical staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
