The moment John Force’s car exploded: video

The footage of this accident is magnificent. The so-called funny car suffered a catastrophic engine failure that caused the body of the car to burst into flames. After impact Some parts of the car were scattered on the track, but most remained in piles, although the car now resembles a mountain of scrap metal. As the source stated, only the frame remained intact.

Fors is already 75 years old but doesn’t want to retire. The incident didn’t seem to upset him too much, The Associated Press reported, because Hall of Famer Austin Prock won the race while he was in the hospital, so the trophy “will go directly to John Force in the hospital,” Prock said.

This isn’t the first time Force has survived a serious accident. He was hospitalized after an incident at the Nationals in Arizona in 2018. He also won two of the season’s first eight races and currently sits second in the NHRA Funny Car standings, behind only Prock.
