Rumor has it he lost a leg and they had to drill to relieve pressure in his brain


This sucks i always rooted for him.

My prayers go out to him and his family

Dang...Hope he pulls through OK. I was just about to go to bed. I think I'll turn on ESPN to see what they have to say about it.

He will be in my prayers tonight.

I didnt hear the leg rumor. But I did see the pics where they had to cut the top of the cage off. This means that he was in a very serious condition, imobile and unconcious. Were all pulling for him.

Eric is in critical condition with a severe closed head injury. There have been no official releases about the condition of his leg (legs). But I do not think your information is correct.

Yesterday there were a lot of rumors that he had passed on, these rumors were incorrect and caused a lot of pain to the Medlin Family and JFR (John Force Racing). I doubt there will be any news of any improvement for the next week due to the nature of his injury and treatment procedures.

Please keep Eric in your thoughts, here are some links:
