Adria Hight is one of the four daughters born to the American National Hot Rod Association’s (NHRA) drag racer and CEO of John Force Racing, John Force. But right now, our focus isn’t really on Adria’s relationship with her father but with Robert Hight, whom she married in 1999.
Robert Hight is an NHRA drag racer and the president of Adria’s father’s company, John Force Racing. Unlike his wife, he also pursued a career in drag racing and was quick to make an impression on the Force family albeit starting as just a crew member of the clutch specialist team for JFR.
His relationship with Adria propelled his now career in drag racing and the subsequent rise to the presidency of the family company.
Adria and Robert Hight welcomed a daughter a few years into their marriage. Their daughter, like father and grandfather, has taken a liking to car drag racing, sidelining Adria once again.
Here’s What We Know About Adria Force Hight’s Marriage to Robert Hight
Adria and Robert met while the latter worked for the John Force Racing. According to brokeradda.com, Adria also had a working stint for her father after she was done with school. In more recent times, she has worked as the Chief Financial Officer of the John Force Racing Inc.
While Robert was serving as a clutch specialist for Adria’s father’s company, he met the oldest of the John Force daughters and they soon started dating. How long the relationship lasted isn’t known but we know that Robert joined the clutch specialist team back in 1995 and by 1999, 4 years later, he married one of the daughters of his employer.
A little backstory reveals that Adria and the 3-time NHRA Drag Racing champion grew up in the same neighborhood.
While married, John Force’s daughter eventually convinced her father to give her husband a chance to move up the ladder in the industry. She convinced John that Robert could be more than a clutch specialist and would do great as a drag car racer.
By 2005, Robert Hight was allowed to prove himself and he teamed up with John Force and Eric Medlen. That same year, he finished 5th in points and won 2 competitions, finishing 4 final rounds and having a 28-21 record in 23 stats.
Adria Force Hight’s husband’s career as a drag racer blossomed from then on and he further won 3 championship titles in 2009, 2017, and 2019.
Unfortunately, the same year Robert Hight won his second championship title was the same year he and Adria’s divorce was settled. This happened on September 1, 2017.
2 years before his second championship win, Robert’s wife filed for divorce, per some reports and rumors. The divorce was filed on February 10, 2015, in Orange County Superior Courts, Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange, California.
The former couple still work together in their positions at John Force Racing Inc. despite their marriage ending.
It isn’t certain if Adria moved on and remarried or at least got into another relationship after the divorce.
On the flip side, her ex-husband moved on and started another relationship. He has been linked with a woman identified as Leslie and she is referred to as his wife.
