When is that from ?
The wreck was worse than the fire.
He pounded that Left wall HARD ...
Do they use the Safer Barrier walls that NASCAR does in many locations.

Those looked like concrete barriers, not safer barriers. The flames weren't just puffs. That had to hurt. Not Grosjean bad, but that was a bad wreck.
As far as the Fire goes, He's protected with his Fire Suit ...
The Wreck was definitely BAD.
As for the Safer Barrier walls, its hard to say whether they are or not ...
The NASCAR SB wall look just like regular walls until you get a close look at them.
Btw, that was Yesterday.
Settle down. No need to bring politics into this. I'm more concerned about his safety than anything. But you are right. It's his choice.
Since when?
John Force is in second place in the NHRA funny car standings. You don't get there without racing.
Yes I read after this race he was hanging it up. Only his one daughter is racing now, I think the other girls stopped.

Yes if you look at my links from the beginning of this month the first reports is he was retiring. He had to come back and clarify later, that he wasnt but major shakups in his team are happening.
Just read he is still in hospital, so maybe he will be racing next weekend?
I doubt he (or anyone else in a points-based competition) would have started the 2024 campaign without intending to finish it.
Missing races is certainly hard on points but it happens.
Even if we are talking contusions, he's going to be in serious pain for a while. The body doesn't recover well in its 70s. Granted, it is just go forward for a few seconds, not managing G's for a couple hours while turning the wheel this or that way. But still, repeated exposure to fire and the bangs on the concrete walls are going to slow him down a lot, and that is assuming no serious injuries.
