NHRA Mello Yello drag racing Charlotte Funny Car winner Robert Hight is one of the most successful drag racers of the last decade and that includes his boss, 16-time champion John Force. Hight leads the points again this year after the win Sunday. His first championship came in 2009 and has been in the top 10 in points each of the last nine years. Not bad for a guy who lists bowling among his hobbies.
