SONOMA, Calif. -- Robert Hight raced to his 50th Funny Car victory Sunday at the NHRA Sonoma Nationals.
The points leader won for the fifth time this season and second straight year at Sonoma, beating Matt Hagan in the final with a 3.973-second run at 325.45 mph in a Chevrolet Camaro. Hight is the third Funny Car driver to reach 50 victories.
"The first national event I ever attended was right here, and I never honestly dreamed I would get to drive a Funny Car," Hight said. "I still have to pinch myself. It's hard to believe I'm at 50.
