BROWNSBURG, Ind. (AP) — Drag racing Hall of Famer John Force may contend for another Funny Car title, even though he won’t drive the rest of the season as he recovers from a traumatic brain injury after a crash in Virginia last month. John Force Racing president Robert Hight announced this week past Funny Car champion Jack Beckman will drive for Force, the 16-time Funny Car champion, the rest of the season. NHRA rules allow teams a substitute driver who can gain points for the original driver for a maximum of eight events. Force was second in points behind teammate Austin Prock when he was injured in Virginia on June 23 after his engine exploded and he crashed into the walls. Force has not raced since then and sits sixth in the standings with Prock on top.
