Kalitta Motorsports team owner and drag racing legend Connie Kalitta chose Arend to drive the DHL Toyota Solara mount in late July to help preserve the legacy of his legendary son, Scott Kalitta, who died as result of a high-speed Funny Car qualifying accident in Englishtown, N.J., June 21. “It will always be Scott’s car,” Arend, a 46-year old resident of San Dimas, Calif., said. “I am just the newest member to be added to the DHL Funny Car team, and I will do my best to accomplish what Scott and Connie started out to do, and that is having a consistent, competitive, and safe racecar capable of going rounds and winning races. “Scott was a racer that would race you hard, but one who always enjoyed life, too. He was a great husband and father to his children. For those that know me, I try to emulate those same, basic traits. I will do my best to carry on what Scott was best known for – family.” Arend was the No. 1 qualifier in the Funny Car class at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals in 2007.

CLERMONT, Ind. - Robert Hight powered his Auto Club Ford Mustang to the provisional No. 1 qualifying position in Funny Car on Friday at the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, finishing a 4.114-second pass at 297.48 mph at O'Reilly Raceway Park.

"I don't think (the 4.114) will hold up (Saturday) night, we're running a little later so the track will be a little better so we'll have to run better than a 4.114 and I honestly think we can improve," said, Hight, whose John Force Racing teammates provisionally qualified 12th (Mike Neff (4.349), 13th (Ashley Force, 4.357), and 14th (John Force, 4.416). Meanwhile, the DHL Funny Car made its first pass down the track since Scott Kalitta's fatal accident at Englishtown.
