Last week, John Force was hospitalized after hitting the walls of the drag strip at Virginia Motorplex Park at 300 miles per hour.He's shown daily improvements and was moved from the ICU to NIC on Wednesday.Late this week, Force was able to say 'I love you' to his wife and daughters after the crash.
After being prompted to say his name by his wife and daughters, he was finally able to say 'John Force,' to everyone's relief; this then led to a thumbs up and later 'I love yous' for the small, tight-knit group of family members allowed in to visit.While completion of these cognitive tests shows movement in the right direction, recovery is still estimated to be long and grueling as it is still undisclosed how severe the 75-year-old racer's injuries are.
