**Breaking News: John Force Makes Devastating Statement About Future in NHRA**
In a heartfelt and somber announcement earlier today, drag racing legend John Force made a devastating statement regarding his future in the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association). The 75-year-old icon, who has won 16 NHRA Funny Car championships and is widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the sport’s history, revealed that he is considering stepping away from full-time racing due to ongoing health concerns and the physical toll the sport has taken on his body.
Force, who has been part of the NHRA for over four decades, acknowledged that recent injuries and the demands of racing have left him rethinking his career. “It’s a tough decision for me, but my body is telling me it might be time to slow down,” Force said in a statement. “Drag racing is a demanding sport, and after all these years, I’m starting to feel the wear and tear. I’ve dedicated my life to this, but at some point, you have to listen to your body and your family.”
Force has been a dominant figure in drag racing since the 1980s, known for his incredible resilience, fierce competitiveness, and ability to continually evolve as the sport has advanced. However, his recent health struggles—reportedly including back issues and a series of other injuries—have raised serious questions about his ability to continue at the top level of the sport.
The racing community was quick to express support for Force, with many noting that his impact on NHRA and motorsports, in general, cannot be overstated. His legacy is solidified not only through his countless championships but also through the Force Racing team he built, which has nurtured other stars in the sport, including his daughters, Courtney and Brittany Force.
John Force has not made a final decision yet but hinted that the upcoming season could potentially be his last. Fans and competitors alike are awaiting further developments as one of NHRA’s most beloved figures contemplates the next chapter in his storied career.
