NHRA legend John Force recently shared an emotional message with his team and Chevrolet following a difficult 2024 season, which has seen him recover from a severe crash. In a heartfelt video posted on the John Force Racing YouTube channel, Force expressed his deep gratitude for the unwavering support he received from Chevrolet’s employees and fans. His message comes during a particularly challenging period as he has made the decision to step back from competitive racing for now, focusing on his recovery after a harrowing accident earlier this year.
Force began the video with a lighthearted tone, acknowledging the festive season. “Look at this beautiful Christmas tree,” he said, before reflecting on the year’s events. He continued by sharing plans to treat the staff at his Yorba Linda headquarters to a lunch, allowing them to enjoy the Christmas spirit together. Despite the upbeat atmosphere, Force took a moment to offer a sincere thank you to Chevrolet for their ongoing support throughout the season.
In his message, Force expressed deep appreciation for Chevrolet, not only for its dedication to John Force Racing but also for its impact on the wider community of fans and buyers. He recognized the brand’s pivotal role in the success of his team, and his gratitude extended beyond his own racing efforts. Force added, “God bless you, and let’s enjoy Christmas,” ending the video with a note of warmth and optimism.
Force’s decision to step away from racing was influenced by the aftermath of a terrifying crash during the 2024 NHRA Virginia Nationals in June. While competing at speeds exceeding 300 miles per hour, Force’s car was involved in an accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury. The crash was a sobering reminder of the risks inherent in motorsport, and it has required Force to prioritize his health and recovery over his passion for racing.
The 2024 season has been a turbulent one for Force, but his message of gratitude highlights the support that has helped him through this difficult time. His bond with Chevrolet, built over many years of successful partnership, continues to be a source of strength. Force’s heartfelt words to his team and to the fans underscore the importance of family and community in facing challenges, even in the toughest moments. As he continues his recovery, Force’s focus now is on healing, with no immediate plans to return to the track.
