ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (AP) — Robert Hight stayed hot on Friday with a 4.025-second pass at 313.00 mph to earn the provisional Funny Car pole at the 41st annual NHRA Supernationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.
The other provisional No. 1 qualifiers at the 11th of 23 races in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series season were Cory McClenathan (Top Fuel), Mike Edwards (Pro Stock) and Michael Phillips (Pro Stock Motorcycle).
The No. 1 qualifier would be the third in a row for Hight and his fifth overall this season. Hight has also been to four straight final rounds — winning three times — to assume the points lead in Funny Car.
