On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast powered by Speedmaster, host Brian Lohnes is joined by Top Fuel points leader Justin Ashley and NHRA on FOX analyst Tony Pedregon for two wildly different discussions about racing, Chicago, and the 2024 season. 

Ashley is riding a huge wave of success so far in 2024, and his team is in command of the points by nearly 100 over Doug Kalitta. His final-round appearances and wins this year have been impressive, but the inner workings of the organization may be even more impressive than the wins themselves. Ashley takes us inside his team, his mindset, and his success. The two talk long-term goals, the outlook for Chicago, and why a hot start is more important than ever in 2024. 

A fired-up Pedregon joins the show to talk about everything from a stacked Top Fuel field, the NHRA sports gaming announcement, a near brawl behind the scenes in Pro Stock, and a whole lot more. This rollicking interview makes up the second half of the show, and it's one you cannot afford to miss!
