John Force and Kenny Bernstein crash together in round 2 of Funny Cars at the Texas Motorplex. John suffered a compound fracture to his left ankle, a bone-deep laceration to his left knee, broken fingers lacerations on his right hand, and dislocation of his left wrist, originally diagnosed as a break. This video has the wreck as it happens, more replays, John in the helipcopter, and interviews with John's wife Laurie and Kenny Bernstein. Kenny retired from drag racing again at the end of the year.

Paul Page and Mike Dunn are there for ESPN.

  • this is bad for the sport scott calletta jsut died!?!?!

  • I just saw it and now I'm sad about it.

  • Holy Shit!!! When I saw that, I was in shock. That's the worst I've seen in a while. Does anyone have footage of Jack Ostrander's car breaking in 2 in 1991?  Same thing happened there. Go get 'em John!

  • Are you talking about the wreck from Gainesville when his car broke in 2?

  • No. However, I would like to see that too.

  • I'll have that up soon.

  • GOD BLESS JOHN FORCE!!!He is a true NHRA hero! My heart goes out to him and his family!! I had the opurtuninty to meet him @ that very track once.He stoped what he was doing to sign autographs for fans! If you follow racing you know they dont do that very much.He has always been commited to his family and fans.I wish J.F. a speedy recovery and will be anxious to see if he will race again! I also hope that Kenny Bernstein can get past what has happened, he is a true NHRA hero as well!

  • The cone had nothing to do with it.. it seems when the tire blew the clip came out the cars r made to split apart on hard impact when them tires blow thats hard impact so the body split.. if the body wouldnt have split john would be died.. no daught.. thank god for it splitting.. ii bet john dont race i bet he retires..

see all

  • that was the last run kenny bernstein ran i think realized he had a great career and wasn't worth dying over anymore to race

  • @AutoRockinRacing94: you know, i have no clue about him. maybe he's drivin for someone else or he retired. idk

  • What ever happened to Tommy Johnson Jr.?

  • Kenny Bernstein is retired. but his son brandon is driving now

  • GratefulGrey, listen again from just before 2.30 and you'll clearly hear ex-FC racer Mike Dunn referring to the blocks that Kenny Bernstein's car sent into John Force's lane.

  • its a testament that a man can survive that. they showed the replay in slow motion and you could see him flailing everywhere. glad hes still alive.

  • He owns the Monster Funny car that Tommy drives.....so hes still at the races

  • Bernstein clearly hit something in the middle of the track, im suprised teh commentators didnt see that!

  • go kenny bernstien
