Drag race legend Force was behind the wheel of a PEAK Chevy Camaro as he took on Terry Haddock in a high-speed run.

Force won the race after clocking an eye-watering 306.62 mph at Virginia Motorsports Park.

As he crossed the line the engine on his Chevy exploded, per The Daily Mail.

The force sent Force’s car spinning across the track in a ball of flame, coming to rest by a concrete barrier.

Miraculously, the veteran driver walk away from the car under his own steam.

“Force was alert and was examined onside by the NHRA Medical Team before being transported to a local medical facility for further evaluation,” an NHRA statement read.

“He’s one tough son of a b***h, I know that. He’ll be back,” Force’s teammate Austin Prock told TSN Sports.

“It’s just tough to see somebody go through that. I hope he’s all right.
