Legendary drag racer John Force has countless great NHRA memories, most of which were compiled during the time he raced to 16 nitro Funny Car world championships.
Still, during his illustrious career, Force’s emotions have traveled the full spectrum, and that was no more evident than last weekend at the Arizona Nationals near Phoenix.

It was an emotional roller-coaster ride Courtney Force didn’t want to take.
After watching her legendary father John Force sent to the hospital after a horrific crash following a second-round win over Johnnie Lindberg, Courtney had to summon the courage to move on Sunday at the Arizona Nationals.

Steve Torrence was perturbed enough last November that he wound up second in the final Top Fuel standings after being in the catbird seat for so long. Then he became further annoyed in the season-starting Winternationals at Pomona, Calif., where he disqualified himself with a red light start in the second round.
So the tenacious Texan said he was looking for a “do-over” for the Capco Contractors Dragster team here this weekend at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park.

In an accident eerily reminiscent of his 2007 crash in Dallas, Texas, John Force won his second round race in Sunday’s 34th annual NHRA Arizona Nationals before an engine explosion sent his PEAK Coolant and Motor Oil Camaro careening into the Toyota of Jonnie Lindberg.
The two cars, linked together by tangled parachutes, hit one wall, then the other before coming to a stop in a cloud of smoke. As a precaution, the 68-year-old veteran was transported for further evaluation and released Sunday evening from Chandler Regional Hospital.
