Hight is 5-3 in finals and one of those is a win over Pedregon. Pedregon's last win was at Las Vegas '1' in 2006. That makes eight straight wins at this track for Hight and the JFR teams. It was pretty even but Hight was leading at every marker. By the time he got to the stripe the pony was on it's nose, as witnessed by the speed of the Mustang.
