Robert Hight tops Funny Car qualifying at NHRA Arizona Nationals

CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Robert Hight topped Funny Car qualifying Saturday in the NHRA Arizona Nationals at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park.

Hight had a 3.867-second run at 329.91 mph in a California Chevrolet Camaro SS on the final run of qualifying. He's coming off a victory in the season-opener at Pomona, where he also was the No. 1 qualifier.

"That was a fun run," Hight said. "I had my hands a little full at the other end since I was late with the chutes because I had to keep it off the wall. It was exciting from the step of the gas all the way to the end of the finish line.
