The iconic John Force Racing team extended it\u2019s winning ways at zMAX Dragway when team driver Robert Hight took down the Funny Car field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hight powered to a 3.888 at 328.30 mph driving his Flav-R-Pac Chevrolet Camaro SS to beat John Force, defending world champ Ron Capps and Alexis DeJoria \u2014 in the star-filled final quad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the second win this season for Hight and helped give John Force Racing its 13th overall win in Charlotte. Before this weekend, Hight had endured a rare slump, suffering back-to-back first-round losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the multi-time champ and his team didn\u2019t disappoint in Charlotte, rolling to the win in every quad as he collected his 63rd career Wally. It\u2019s also his seventh career win at zMAX Dragway, which is the most for anyone in Funny Car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I love this place. Everybody always asks me my favorite racetrack, and without a doubt, it’s this place. This facility is like none other; it’s amazing, the fans are great, and luckily, we get to come here twice a year,\u201d Hight said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We did change our car around, we stayed and tested Monday after Vegas. We had some ignition problems and I was thinking, \u2018Oh man, we’re not going to get the data we need.\u2019 But Jimmy (Prock, crew chief) said, ‘Nope, we’re going to be fine.’ To come here and make seven respectable runs, you can see it in his eyes; he’s excited. I’m proud of him for not overdoing it and giving me a chance to win. That was a big, big deal.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeJoria finished as the runner-up as she continued her solid season, while Capps was third. Despite a first-round exit, Hagan maintained the points lead in Funny Car over DeJoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
