In a rare and memorable moment ahead of the prestigious Toyota NHRA U.S. Nationals at Indy, the Prock family—Austin, Thomas, Jimmy, and Tom—took a breather from the intensity of race prep to grab a drink with NHRA on Fox host, and NHRA nitro drag racer Jordan Vandergriff.

The Prock family, known for their deep roots in NHRA, caught up with Vandergriff in a laid-back setting, sharing stories and laughs ahead of one of the biggest events on the drag racing calendar.

The camaraderie between the Procks and Vandergriff is a testament to the bond shared among NHRA racers and families. With Tom Prock’s legendary past, Jimmy’s long-standing contributions to the sport, and Austin and Thomas carrying the Prock name into the future, the gathering was a perfect blend of history and modern-day racing talent.

What made the moment even more special was Austin Prock’s eventual triumph in Indy, securing a massive Funny Car win driving one of John Force Racing’s iconic cars. The Procks’ tradition of success continued, adding to their legacy in NHRA history. For Austin, it was a career-defining victory that will be remembered for years to come, made even sweeter by the company he kept just days before the big race.
