NHRA News: John Force returns home to Yorba Linda

John Force from Yorba Linda, who has been receiving treatment for a traumatic brain injury at Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, returned home on Wednesday in California.

“He finally gets to sleep in his own bed,” his daughter Ashley Force Hood said in a statement released by John Force Racing on Tuesday.

His wife, Laurie, and daughters Ashley Force Hood, Brittany Force, Courtney Force and Adria Force, have been with John Force for treatment at hospitals in Virginia and Arizona since he was injured in a crash during a race in Virginia last month.

John Force was discharged from the Barrow Neurological Institute on Tuesday. He will receive outpatient treatment and speech, occupational and physical therapy to treat lingering short-term memory and cognitive issues while recovering at home.

He was receiving care at a neurological rehab center in Virginia after spending 15 days in intensive care at VCU Medical Center following a big crash during a race at Virginia Motorsports Park.
