An interview with Funny Car champion ROBERT HIGHT, JOHN FORCE RACING, AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHEVROLET CAMARO SS (second career title):
Q: CRAZY THINGS CAN HAPPEN, AND THAT WAS ONE.

ROBERT HIGHT: Del Worsham came over to me before first round and said, ‘I don’t think I can outrun him, but I’m not going to give it to him. I’m going to make sure my car goes down the track.’ Del Worsham did the right thing by making it go down the track. It’s pretty cool; it’s been 10 years since Chevrolet has won a championship in Funny Car and we’re back. Continue reading Chevy Racing–NHRA–Pomona Post Race →

Hopefully, give ourselves a chance to do that Sunday afternoon and see what happens. That is pretty straight forward what we have to do with the situation we are in now.

TALK ABOUT YOUR APPROACH COMING INTO PHOENIX

This team thrives on pressure and adversity and we’re certainly in the position right now. When we look at the last two or three races here, we’ve had very competitive cars and the effort was made this week to make sure we brought the best bullet, second to none, and I’m really proud of my team and the way that all of Hendrick Motorsports is working together to make sure that the No. 24 car (Chase Elliott) and the No. 48 car have their best chances to win here and move on and stay alive for the championship. We’ll find out Sunday afternoon. I’m just excited to get out there and get to work.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Phoenix–Jimmie Johnson →

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 CREDIT ONE BANK CHEVROLET SS – Sidelined with engine failure on Lap 77
WHAT WAS THE FIRST INDICATION SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE?
“I felt it drop a cylinder or something. So, it’s disappointing way to finish our race and probably our season, but we’ll be all right.”

THIS SCENARIO OF THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN TODAY WAS PROBABLY NOWHERE ON THE LIST FOR YOU. WILL YOU SIT AND WATCH THE POINTS AND SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT, OR WHAT?
“Yeah, obviously I’m going to watch and just cross my fingers and pray to anything I can pray to. But, I don’t think 29 points is enough. So, it’s disappointing, but we’ve had a good year. I’ve got to thank Credit One Bank and Target and everybody that’s been involved. It sucks to have the engine failure, but it is what it is.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Kansas–Kyle Larson →
