Hight tops qualifying at Route 66 NHRA Nationals
JOLIET, Ill. -- Funny Car points leader Robert Hight topped qualifying Saturday night in the Route 66 NHRA Nationals.
Hight claimed his sixth No. 1 qualifier of the season and 66th in his career with a pass of 3.880 seconds at 334.24 mph in a Chevrolet Camaro during the final qualifying session.
"The conditions were there tonight, and we gave it the power and it stuck,'' Hight said. "It was a great run and I'm loving the conditions we're going to have [Sunday]. It's awesome to come to Chicago and see a field like this. There are a lot of good cars here.''
