Defending NHRA Full Throttle Series Funny Car champion Robert Hight took the win over Jack Beckman at the AAA Insurance NHRA Nationals at Gateway International Raceway Sunday.

In one of the most improbable wins in the sport, Warren Johnson earned his 97th career Pro Stock win after his semi-finals opponent, Mike Edwards, broke prior to the burnout and his finals competitor, Jeg Coughlin Jr., lost his engine at the starting line.

Seven-time and defending Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher earned his 63rd career win while Michael Phillips took the victory in Pro Stock Motorcycle.
