Brian Husen and Tim Fabrisi on winning the nitro battles in Indy!
On this post-Cornwell Quality Tools NHRA U.S. Nationals episode, host Brian Lohnes is joined by winning crew chiefs Tim Fabrisi and Brian Husen, the guys who captured the Funny Car and Top Fuel diamond Wallys on a wild Monday at the biggest race of the season.
Both men talk about the challenges presented by the weather with incredible temperatures, off-the-charts humidity, and wild swings over the four days of competition between qualifying and racing. For John Force Racing's Fabrisi and Daniel Hood, the guys who tune Jack Beckman's Funny Car, it was a rich weekend in every respect. Between the race win and their PlayNHRA All-Star Callout victory, they netted about $200,000 in 48 hours. Fabrisi takes us inside the weekend and shares some truly neat stories about how they approached and conquered the U.S. Nationals.
Husen knew his team needed to break out of their three-race slump, and boy, did they! Husen talks about the weekend that landed them in the most coveted winner's circle in drag racing, the one at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. Listen to him explain where the struggles were, how they fixed them, and what he is looking for over the next six races.
The inside story of the teams that conquered Indy!
