Robert Hight height - How tall is Robert Hight?

Overall, Hight tied his career-bests of finals in a season (seven) and low ETs (10), and earned career-bests in elimination-round victories (45) and top event speeds (13). He earned four victories, the most he had earned since 2014, when he scored five wins.

Hight entered his 13th season driving a Chevrolet Camaro, with crew chief Mike Neff and co-crew chiefs Jon Schaffer and Jason McCulloch. He started the season driving the California Highway Patrol car, reminiscent of a CHP car, at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.

Beginning with the third race of the season, the NHRA Gatornationals, Hight was reunited with crew chief Jimmy Prock, with whom he had won the 2009 championship. After a slow start, the team gradually came together and earned its first No. 1 in June at the New England Nationals at New England Dragway in Epping, N.H. Hight earned the team's first victory at the Mile-High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colorado, and followed that up two weeks later with a win in the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington. Gradually, with strong qualifying performances and solid races, the team crept into the top five, and eventually as high as second before the regular season ended at the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals. Hight also starred with record-breaking performances, which included setting the NHRA's fastest speed ever - 339.87 mph at Sonoma Raceway in California in July - and the first 3.7-second performance in a Funny Car - 3.793 seconds at Brainerd International Raceway in Minnesota. By the end of the season, Hight would have seven of the top 10 speeds ever run in Funny Cars - all set in 2017.

After a number of years as a fan, Hight eventually joined a team, and became a clutch specialist for John Force Racing in 1995. He worked as a crew member until 2005, when he was named a driver, teaming up with John Force and Eric Medlen.
