Robert Hight is stepping down as president of John Force Racing (JFR).

The 55-year-old Hight began his career as a crew member on John Force’s championship-winning Funny Car in 1995. Later, he was the facilities manager at JFR before becoming the company’s first designated test driver in 2004. He made his competitive driving debut in 2005, winning in just his fourth career start. Force promoted him to company president in 2011.

Bob McAleer, JFR's Brownsburg, Indiana-based director of business operations, will work closely with team owner Force to run the operation, the team said.
