John Force and Robert Hight were a potent 1-2 punch at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park on Friday night.

Right behind Force was teammate Robert Hight and the Auto Club Ford Mustang who ran 4.030 seconds at a track speed record of 318.77 mph.

Hight picked up five qualifying bonus points for his efforts. Continue reading →

Restrictor-plate racing doesn’t get any better and this race proved Daytona night racing is fun to watch.

Lap 32 was when Johnson found the front for the first time of the night and he wouldn’t be away from that spot for much more of the race. Continue reading →
