Hagan's win at Gainesville reminds fans that he's among the all-time best at what he does.
With all the hype about Ron Capps defeating Robert Hight by three points for the Funny Car championship last November and the fact both of them are aiming for a fourth title this year, Matt Hagan got a bit lost in the public-relations shuffle.And with Sunday’s final-round victory in the Gatornationals at Gainesville over JR Todd—who incidentally was driving a brand-new car patterned after the one Hagan excelled in last year for a No. 3 finish in the standings—Hagan became the No.
"There's never been in the last probably eight years that I can think of that we haven't been had a title shot at it at the last day, at the last race. Capps, Force and Hight . . . I don't know, maybe one day we might catch Robert, but as far as Force goes, he's going to be the G.O.A.T. forever. I'm going to have to do it till I'm 200 if I'm going to catch Force. And Ron's got actually 20 years on me, as far as his driving.
