NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast powered by Speedmaster, host Brian Lohnes is joined by J.R. Todd and Tony Stewart to discuss their respective weekends at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals in Brainerd, as well as the upcoming Toyota NHRA U.S. Nationals. These two racers had two radically different experiences and they dive into both. 

For Todd, it was a weekend of explosive turmoil punctuated by the greatest pit thrash in a decade. He takes us inside the madness of the repairs that took place between the second and third rounds in Brainerd, how the whole pit area seemed to come to the aid of his DHL team, and the emotional highs and lows of this draining weekend. He also explains some of the finer details that the cameras did not catch. 

Stewart ran career-best numbers and has the best race car he has been in all season. He talks about the long road to his final round in Sonoma, the heartfelt message he shared with Antron Brown after that race, how his team is equipped for the U.S. Nationals, and the similarities and differences he is experiencing in Top Fuel as opposed to his NASCAR and IndyCar experiences. 

A banger of a show from end to end!
