Force and teammate Robert Hight are two of only six drivers who have qualified for all 13 Mello Yello Countdown to the Championships. Hight won the 2018 edition of the AAA Insurance Midwest Nationals at WWTR in explosive fashion after his 10,000-horsepower engine dismantled itself at the finish line.
The NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series will again deliver the world’s biggest names in professional drag racing to the St. Louis-Metro East region.
