John Force’s health has been a focal point since his horrific accident on June 23 in Richmond which resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Since then, updates about Force have been sparse.
The crash left Force in intensive care before he was moved to a neuro intensive care unit.
In early July, the drag racer was moved to a rehab facility, which he was discharged from a couple of weeks after.
Force has since been continuing his recovery at home.
The last update shared by his family was a post from his daughter Brittany, who wrote on July 23
“Peace out Phoenix! After 30 days my dad is finally heading home where we will continue outpatient therapy.
These next steps to recovery will definitely be a family effort! Here’s some pictures from our time in Phoenix.
A month after an engine explosion sent his race car careening into a concrete guardwall at more than 300 miles per hour at Virginia Motorsports Park, drag racing champion John Force was discharged Tuesday from Barrow Neurological Institute, where he was undergoing rehab for a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).
“According to family members, while the 16-time Funny Car Champion will continue to work with therapists specializing in such injuries, it now will be on an outpatient basis in California.
“‘He finally gets to sleep in his own bed,’ said daughter Ashley Hood who, with sisters Brittany, Courtney and Adria and mother, Laurie, maintained a constant presence through the Hall of Fame driver and car owner’s hospitalizations in Virginia and Arizona.
