The family of Southern California drag racer John Force announced this week that the 16-time NHRA champion has transitioned to outpatient care following a terrifying 300 mph incident that left the racer hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury.

Force, 75, a Yorba Linda resident who was born in Bell Gardens, returned home on Monday following a 15-day stay in a Virginia hospital and a period in an Arizona rehabilitation facility, according to his family.

According to the announcement, Force was released from the Barrow Neurological Institute, where he had been receiving rehabilitation since early July. According to the statement, while recuperating at home, he would get outpatient treatment as well as speech, occupational, and physical therapy for any remaining short-term memory and cognitive problems.

At the Virginia Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park on June 23, Force was involved in a crash during his first-round run in the Funny Car eliminations that resulted in a traumatic head injury, a fractured sternum, and injuries to his right wrist.

Force, a Cerritos College student, was alert and conversing with safety personnel right away following the catastrophic collision. Before being evacuated off the track, he was evaluated by an NHRA medical tea
