JOHN FORCE No. 1 BUT ROBERT HIGHT RACES TO VICTORY AT MILE HIGH NATIONALS
DENVER, CO – John Force qualified No. 1 at the 35th annual Mopar Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway but he came up a 
few tenths of a second short from getting the BrandSource double up when Robert Hight got the win light today. Hight, the 2009 Funny Car champion, outran his teammate and boss 4.166 seconds to 5.953 seconds in the 43rd all JFR final round.
When John Force solidified his No. 1 qualifier status Daniel Price of Westminster, Colorado won the washer and dryer from BrandSource. Twenty four hours later Christ Angelos (in attached photo) of Colorado Springs, Colorado won a 55” TV as part of the Win with Force promotion.
“(This win) shows that we work well as a team. We work together. I knew we were going to give the fans quite a race. For four runs in qualifying we were side by side. John went down the track all of them. A lot of the success this weekend goes back to John Bandimere. I call this the coolest track in the country because it has the cooling system under the racing surface. If you didn’t have that system there would be a lot of tire smoke,” said Robert Hight, a five time winner in 2014.
On Sunday Hight outran Todd Simpson, Courtney Force and Tim Wilkerson before he met up with Force in the final. This win was the 34th of Hight’s career.
