2022 Funny Car World Champion Ron Capps

Ron Capps completed a miraculous last-race comeback to win his third NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series Funny Car world championship, becoming the first driver in 20 years to win the title back to back. As hard as it is to believe, Capps -- who famously lost the 2012 season championship by two points to Jack Beckman -- never led the points until the final day of the season, and he finished ahead of Robert Hight by just three points, 2,682 to 2,679.

The first time a driver has won back-to-back Funny Car championships in 20 years! Last time John Force in 2002 after winning 10 straight. Awesome job again Ron!

[@krispunches8937]

Fine job Capps!🎉

[@toms2872]

Congratulations sir

[@38skippers]

World means National

[@TheGreenDinoGamer]

Feel so bad for Robert Hight. So damn dominant all year and doesn't even win the championship. Never liked the Countdown and this is why, Hight deserved the title much more in my opinion

[@lanbrick5826]

Not a fan of the countdown! Hight dominated all year and should be the champion!

[@dyingbreed8889]

Stole that championship I hate the points and a half Robert deserved it.

[@jacksonmehoff4963]

didnt steal it. He raced with same points system that height did. Not necessarily right but it is what it is.

[@jr4038]

You JFR fans crack me up, few yrs ago in 17 when Brittany beat Steveo and absolutely no business being a champion y’all were all for the countdown. Now it bites one of your drivers and it sucks 😂.
