Robert Hight isn't out of it yet, the Countdown to 1, that is. Hight, with 763 points is currently 12th in the standings behind Cruz Pedregon and Matt Hagan. Hight is 38 points behind Pedregon and just seven behind Hagan. Assuming all three qualify for the U.S. Nationals, Hight would need to run at least two rounds father than Pedregon and one round farther than Hagan.

If Hight makes it to the semifinal round and Pedregon and Hagan go out in the first round, then Hight makes the Countdown to 1.

“I am glad I picked up a round on the number 10 position but honestly I wanted to get a lot more than that here," said Hight after reaching the quarter-finals in Reading. "It is disappointing but I am excited to be headed back to Indy. I’ve been to the past three finals of the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals and if I can repeat history I feel like I’ll be in a good position. John (Force) helped me out today beating (Matt) Hagan. I’ll get this Auto Club Mustang running the way it needs to because I have the best team behind me. I’ve got Jimmy Prock, Austin Coil, Bernie Fedderly, and John Medlen all helping. They have a lot of championships and we are going to use their knowledge and make some things happen,” said Hight.
