From Brittany Force on Instagram: "Thank you everyone for your ongoing prayers for my dad after his accident in Richmond. My family and I have seen the outpour of uplifting words and support over the last couple of weeks and we are so appreciative of you all. It truly means so much to us.

My dad has made some great progress here in Virginia, but he still has a long road ahead. The next step is getting him moved to a rehabilitation center.
We are so blessed to be a part of this amazing racing community.

Nobody is tougher than my dad, and I know it will be everyone's support that helps him get through these next steps in his recovery.
Thank you everyone!"

Latest information from Alan Reinhart.

I had seen that video. Alan did a great job of explaining what happened and how the teams have been in discussion about this situation.

With that being said, I hope John Force, his family and the doctors involved come up with a great plan for John's future in the sport. In my opinion, John should take a long and hard look about stepping away from the seat and become a car owner. He could still be at every event and be a part of his racing operation. John has contributed so much to the sport and I pray that he will still be a part for several years to come.

My thoughts, his decision.

John just posted his retirement on Facebook. I hope he stays involved in the sport. What a great broadcaster he would make! Ray

Ray,
This link does not work for me and I don't find anything else online about a retirement announcement.

However I do see that he has been released from the Arizona rehab center for outpatient rehab near his home in California.

Yeah, I'm not sure that Facebook link is legitimate. That doesn't appear to be an "official" Brittany Force page.

Regardless, here is the update from yesterday:

I will not believe it Ray UNTIL I see it on NHRA .com….

same here. There is no reason for Force to make that announcement today, everyone knows he's done for at least the rest of this season.
