RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — NHRA drag racing great John Force’s team says he has been moved out of neurological intensive care after suffering a traumatic brain injury in a fiery, 300-mph crash at the Virginia Nationals last month. John Force Racing says the 75-year-old has been moved from neurological intensive care into acute neuro care at the hospital where he was transported by air ambulance on June 23. Force’s car had a catastrophic engine failure at the finish line, with the vehicle going across the centerline and slamming into the left concrete guard wall, then careening back across into the right wall.
