NHRA drag racing icon and 16-time champion John Force was released from a neurological treatment center in Arizona and moved into outpatient care on Tuesday. The move comes one month after Force suffered serious injuries in a crash during the first round the NHRA Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park on June 23. The 75-year-old suffered a traumatic brain injury among other injuries, including a fractured sternum and right wrist injury.
Force won his first-round Funny Car race when his car exploded past the finish line, sending it veering into the other lane and into a concrete wall at an estimated 302 mph. Force’s car then spun and briefly went airborne before a secondary impact in his original lane
