BRAINERD, Minn. -- Robert Hight raced to his second No. 1 qualifying position of the season and the 59th overall Saturday in the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway.
Hight had a 3.959-second run at 324.67 mph in the third Funny Car qualifying session. The Chevrolet driver is the defending Funny Car season champion.
"I'm pretty jazzed," Hight said. "This is the time of the year you better have your act together and it is starting to come together for us. We were number one here last year but didn't get the win so we need to do one better this year and get the win.
