Funny Car star John Force injured in NHRA event
Posted: Sunday Sep 23, 2007 8:42 PM
DALLAS (AP) -Drag-racing star John Force was alert and conscious Sunday after sustaining serious injuries in a wreck with Funny Car rival Kenny Bernstein during the O'Reilly NHRA Fall Nationals at Texas Motorplex in Ennis.

Team spokesman Elon Werner said the 58-year-old Force broke his left ankle and his left wrist and suffered a severe abrasion to his right knee.

"John's chassis broke in half and the engine and front two wheels were over in Kenny's lane, and that's what Kenny hit,'' Werner said.

Force, a 14-time champion, was airlifted to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, where Werner said doctors planned surgery Sunday night to clean up the abrasions and possibly set the broken bones.

"He was alert and obviously in a lot of pain, but the whole time he was asking questions.
