On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast powered by Speedmaster, host Brian Lohnes takes you through the myriad of reasons this 70th running of the Toyota NHRA U.S. Nationals means so much to the racers, the fans, and the sport as a whole: The insight into the history of the event, the reasons why people attend, why the race is like a nitro-powered piece of orchestral music, and what separates the U.S. Nationals from other drag races in the NHRA and around the globe. 

This is a week to truly immerse yourself in drag racing. From the raw performance of Stock and Super Stock qualifying, the tightrope walk that will be qualifying in Top Sportsman and Top Dragster, the specialty races, a revamped Hemi Challenge, and more, there's loads to explore and talk about. 

It's Indy week, and the whole sport is buzzing about it!
