    Mike Neff raced to his fourth Funny Car victory of the season at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals on Sunday.

    With the win, Neff gave Ford its 200th NHRA Funny Car victory as he powered his Ford Mustang to a performance of 4.246 seconds at 293.22 mph to defeat Jeff Arend, who posted a 5.168 at 186.54 in his Funny Car.

    "The heat is what was hard for everyone out there today," Neff said. "It was a challenge. With the conditions it was one of those races where you have to get your car down the racetrack if you want to win. It's a tribute to our Ford Mustang body. It's a great car and we have great preparation by the team because the car is so consistent right now."

    Del Worsham (Top Fuel), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and LE Tonglet (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also were winners of the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event.
