His team reported that he has been receiving treatment for a series of health issues that he had been managing for some time. While specifics about his condition were not disclosed, the NHRA community has rallied around Force, offering their love and support.
“John Force is an icon in our sport, and his impact extends beyond the racetrack,” said NHRA President Glen Cromwell. “We are all grateful to hear that he is on the mend and looking forward to his return. The racing community is one big family, and John is a cornerstone of that family.”
Force’s storied career in drag racing began in the 1970s, and he has since become a beloved figure not only for his racing prowess but also for his charismatic persona. With over 150 career wins and a record number of championships, Force has inspired countless fans and aspiring racers alike. His influence stretches far beyond the drag strip, as he has worked tirelessly to promote the sport and support various charitable initiatives.

The outpouring of support from fans has been overwhelming. Social media platforms have been flooded with messages of encouragement and well wishes, with the hashtag #GetWellJohn trending across various platforms.
