HIGHT WINS AGAIN FOR FAN IN CHARLOTTE
CONCORD, NC – Funny Car points leader Robert Hight drove his Auto Club Ford Mustang to the final found of eliminations at 
zMAX Dragway today and defeated John Force, Alexis Dejoria and Tim Wilkerson in route to his second Wally of the 2014 season. With this win, Hight also put a 55” flat screen TV in the hands of Kerry Hinshaw of Wilmington, N.C. compliments of BrandSource and the “Win with Force” promotion. This was the twelfth final round in a row for John Force Racing going back to 2013.
“This format is a dangerous format for Mike Neff. He understands what he needs to run in order to win. We joked all day after the first round that we didn’t have lane choice and we got table scraps. We went out there and we still won from the lane that nobody wanted. Never once did I feel like we were at a disadvantage because we were in the ‘bad’ lane,” said Hight. “Losing twice to Alexis in finals earlier this year I think that motivated him a little bit to push it. The way he races I guarantee my car was not on the edge in the final. It was tuned up enough to go up there and hopefully get the win.”
JFR QUARTET READY FOR FOUR-WIDE SUCCESS
CHARLOTTE, NC – Going into Sunday’s eliminations at the 5th annual Four-Wide NHRA Nationals at zMAX Dragway outside of 
Charlotte the quartet of John Force Racing drivers have the same goal but different starting points.
Robert Hight and the Auto Club Ford Mustang will start the day from the strongest position as No. 2 qualifier and will race in a quad made up of No. 7 qualifier Matt Hagan, No. 10 qualifier Jack Beckman and No. 15 qualifier Tony Pedregon. With four collective Mello Yello Championships amongst his opponents Hight is eager to take on the challenge of Four-Wide racing.
“The key is just focusing on your job. I can’t control what Beckman, Hagan or Tony (Pedregon) do. I will do my usual routine and try and cut the best light I can. I know Mike Neff will give me a great race car and we will try and take advantage of the Four-Wide format. You can slip up a little in the first two rounds and finish second and still advance,” said Hight.
HIGHT AND B. FORCE START STRONG AT FOUR-WIDE
CHARLOTTE, NC – The Auto Club Ford Mustang and driver Robert Hight started the 5th annual Four-Wide Nationals with two 
strong runs and a provisional No. 2 qualifying spot at zMAX Dragway on Friday. Hight picked up four qualifying bonus points posting the two second quickest runs of each session and establishing a comfort level going into Saturday’s final day of qualifying.
“When (crew chief Mike) Neff starts out good like he did today he is pretty steady and pretty tough. I like our chances this weekend,” said Hight.
“It is double the cars but it is not that big of a deal. I just try and get in there and get ready. The biggest thing is you don’t want to pay attention to all the other cars. You don’t want to think (Alexis) DeJoria is in lane three and John (Force) is in lane two and someone else is in lane one. It doesn’t matter who is over there. You can’t go until we are all in and ready to go. I just watch and when the last person lights the light you go on yellow. I try and make it as simple as possible,” said Hight, the current Funny Car Mello Yello points leader
Team Rorce Ready to Rock 4-Wide
COURTNEY FORCE SEEKING FIRST FOUR-WIDE WIN
CONCORD, NC – Courtney Force returns to zMAX Dragway this week for the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals; one of the most 
challenging race tracks and events on the NHRA Mello Yello Circuit for the youngest daughter of John Force and her Traxxas Ford Mustang team.
“zMAX Dragway is a unique track. Bruton Smith has built the Bellagio of drag strips, which makes it exciting to be a part of such a one of a kind race. Racing three other cars at once is so extreme, but thrilling for both the drivers and the fans. You can’t see this kind of racing anywhere else,” said Force.
In both 2012 and 2013, the 25-year-old qualified in the No. 12 position at Four-Wide and went out in the first round of eliminations on Sunday.
FORCE HOOD RELICENSED; JFR DRIVERS MAKE STRONG PASSES IN TESTING
LAS VEGAS, NV – John Force Racing had a successful day of testing at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Most notably 
Ashley Force Hood renewed her NHRA Funny Car license driving Courtney Force’s Traxxas Ford Mustang Funny Car. She made four passes posting times of 4.11, 4.04, 4.01 and 4.05 seconds.
There is no timetable or schedule for Force Hood to return to full-time or part-time racing. The goal of the test session was not just to renew Force Hood’s license but to also provide the 18-time Funny Car championship team with an in-house experienced driver in the event a current driver was unable to participate in an NHRA national event.
AUTO CLUB’S HIGHT RUNNER-UP AT LAS VEGAS;TAKES PTS LEAD
LAS VEGAS , NV – Robert Hight was racing in his third consecutive final and his second final of the season versus Alexis DeJoria 
today at the 15th annual Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals. The Auto Club Ford Mustang was consistent all day running 4.082, 4.086, 4.073 and then 4.083 in the final but DeJoria’s amazing 4.026 second pass in the other lane gave her the win. Hight will leave with the Mello Yello points lead and the momentum of three finals in a row as the Auto Club team heads east for the 5th annual Four-Wide NHRA Nationals in Charlotte, NC.
“We had a great car all day. It was so consistent running 4.08s and a 4.07. That was a great run in the other lane. No one is hanging their head over in the Auto Club pits. We have been to three finals in a row and we have the points lead. Mike Neff has a great handle on this car and it was flawless today,” said Hight, a three-time Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals winner. “We have three wins at this race and we will be looking to get in the winner’s circle here in the fall. This season is a marathon not a sprint. I have to thank all our sponsors from Auto Club to Castrol, Ford, Mac Tools, PEAK and BrandSource. I was hoping we could have given away a TV again but sometimes the breaks just don’t go your way,” said Robert Hight.
FORCES DOMINATE FINAL DAY OF VEGAS QUALIFYING
LAS VEGAS, NV – In the fourth and final qualifying session today at the Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals, Courtney Force 
jumped from the No. 8 spot and went to the top of the Funny Car pack with a 4.006 at 325.37 mph. This is the 25-year-old driver’s fourth No. 1 since the 2013 Winternationals.
“We are excited. We struggled a little bit at the beginning of the season. In Gainesville we went all the way to the semis and we got beat by my dad. It felt good to have a consistent race car back. It felt good to come to a track where we have had some success in the past. We have been No. 2 here and we went to the final at both Las Vegas events last year,” said Force.
Force not only set the track record for both ET and speed with that run, but also beat her personal-best ET of 4.016, which she set at the NHRA Finals in 2013, and her career-best speed of 320.98 mph.
SOLID START FOR JFR AT LAS VEGAS ON FRIDAY
LAS VEGAS, NV – Robert Hight and the Auto Club team stepped up in the second session posting a strong 4.084 second run at 
313.66 mph on the first day of the Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals. At the end of the day he was solidly in the show at the provisional No. 5 position at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In the opening qualifying session his Auto Club Ford Mustang was pulling hard at half-track and then lost traction slowing to a pedestrian 4.731 second beside Mello Yello point leader John Force. The three time Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals winner was not discouraged with today’s effort.
“The track was good today and you saw that in the second session. Lots of Funny Car stepped up and we feel good about that run. Last week we won the race from the No. 10 spot so you really just need a consistent race car on race day. I feel good about where Mike Neff and these Auto Club crew guys have this Funny Car. We will get two more shots at the track tomorrow and I am looking forward to Sunday,” said Hight.
POINTS LEADER WANTS TO KEEP GOING ROUNDS AND PICKING UP WINS
LAS VEGAS, NV – When John Force’s Castrol GTX High Mileage Mustang comes rolling into Vegas, the 16-time champ will have a 
43 point lead over his fellow teammate Robert Hight who happens be his son-in-law and president of John Force Racing. However, the 64 year-old Funny Car veteran is ready extend his points even more and put some distance between his nearest competitor come Sunday at the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
As the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing season is ramping up, John Force also remembers the last time he was at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was on this very spot that he locked up his 16th NHRA Mello Yello Funny Car world championship by beating daughter Courtney in the final round at the 13th annual Toyota NHRA Nationals back in late October of last year.
However, that was last year and if Force has learned anything over decades he has been competing as a driver, you’re only as good as your last win or, in John Force’s case, his last world championship.
