On this episode of the NHRA Insider Brian Lohnes brings back the regular race week guest panel of Tony Pedregon, NHRAonFox analyst, and Kevin McKenna National Dragster Senior Editor to talk about the Las Vegas 4-Wide Nationals, a wild weekend in Pomona, and some of the deeper stories brewing behind the scenes in the world of NHRA drag racing.    The rollicking conversation kicks off with a look at Pro Stock and how the class has taken on a "Countdown" feel already in this early part of the season. The points standings are tight, some racers who we all place high expectations on are struggling and others are making their mark right out of the gate. The conversation focuses on how a Pro Stock season can vary versus a nitro-powered one and the driver performances to this point.    The group delves into the recent craziness in nitro Funny Car from the hot starts of Chad Green and Alexis DeJoria to the weekend of John Force and JR Todd, how those teams will recover, and how the idea of las Vegas being anyone's game may not be so true. Lots of meat on this bone as the guys go deep into these storylines.    Finally, the Top Fuel class is the center of discussion. Obviously, Justin Ashley's recent performances are on the table as are those teams struggling to get up to speed, and which of them will be the first to notch themselves a breakout weekend? Loads of interesting food for thought here about teams, reality series', secrecy, and how the sport of drag racing benefits from a little cage rattling and feather ruffling!   An entertaining listen that's full throttle the whole way through!

Matt Hagan of Tony Stewart Racing joins WFO Joe to discuss his win at the 2023 Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals. Matt will give his thoughts on his rematch against Alexis DeJoria at the Arizona Nationals in the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty NHRA Challenge.

Matt Smith and JR Todd join Brian Lohnes on this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast to talk about their respective weekends in Bristol, Tennessee at the Thunder Valley Nationals and to chat about the last two races of the season. Both men are in a strong championship position with Smith leading the Pro Stock Motorcycle category into Las Vegas and Todd launching himself into third place on the strength of his Bristol race day.    For Matt Smith, the conversation revolves around consistency, not beating himself, and letting the world know that Angie will be back on her motorcycle to defend her win last year at what was the season-closing event. He talks about buying a Suzuki, building a Suzuki, and having his options open for 2021 as to what he plans on riding. Interesting stuff!   JR Todd talks about coming away from a Bristol Sunday one round short of a win but far stronger in points and confidence. After struggling in qualifying, Todd and his DHL Toyota Camry crew mowed down the likes of John Force, Matt Hagan, and Ron Capps in eliminations before drawing the short straw against Alexis DeJoria in the final round. An interesting conversation with a reenergized former champion!

To tell Tom Madden to stop spinning and inventing is like telling the Federal Government to stop spending. He is the quintessential â??Spin Man,â?? the title of his engaging memoir recounting his rise from a harrowing career as a newspaper reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer to the pinnacle of the PR world. One of his latest inventions, The Knife and Forkliftâ?¢, is making the media rounds and gobbling up air time almost as fast as his drag racer client Alexis Dejoria drives her Alcohol Funny Car. Kathy Lee Gifford was among the first to try his eating exercise combining dumbbells and utensils on The TODAY Show on NBC, the network where Madden was a programming whiz and VP under then CEO Fred Silverman. More recently, Ellen DeGeneres tried her hand at eating with his weighty invention behind a car steering wheel. â??Anything wrong officer?â?? As an inventor, while living in Boca Raton, Florida, Tomâ??s wife Angela mentioned that he ate too much too fast and he should put some weights on those utensils. He did! The Palm Beach Post and Sun Sentinel, Floridaâ??s papers covered Tomâ??s invention as well as the Today Show. Tomâ??s invention and sure enough they wound up on the show and with that, orders flooded in. First as a novelty, then as a tool for over eaters. Then we started to receive emails from people that were using the Knife and Forklift as a necessity in steadying tremors. This Florida born invention has helped many that used to actually tape sand bags onto the utensils to help steady tremors. Tomâ??s patent was filed here in Florida To introduce a new anti-cellulite cream from client Rexall Sundown, he once persisted until store clerks at Duane Reade Drugstores in New York wore â??Donâ??t Panicâ?? buttons to assure female customers there would be enough of this fabulous substance to go around. Then a piece he arranged on NBC Dateline ran nearly eight minutes, setting off $50 million in media exposure and a retail stampede resulting in $54 million in sales. When Rexall Sundownâ??s founder Carl DeSantis sold the company in 2000 for $1.8 billion he credited Maddenâ??s publicity for much of the companyâ??s successes, including making OsteoBi-Flex the $100 million-a-year arthritis champ. Madden has reinvented himself several times. Starting as a newspaper reporter, he spun himself up to the top executive ranks in network television. As a reporter heâ??d do anything to get the story. Once he disguised himself as a waiter so he could interview quarantined passengers of a hijacked airliner. Next he tried his hand at speech writing and corporate titans like the Chairman of Kelloggâ??s Company sought out his talent as a wordsmith. So impressed to see one of the speeches Madden wrote for him reprinted in The New York Times, he flew in from Battle Creek, MI to treat Madden to a sumptuous breakfast at The Plaza Hotel starting with bowls of Raisin Bran. Nothing short of media meteoric have been Maddenâ??s many reincarnations from reporter, to speech writer, to head of PR at ABC and to the #2-ranked executive at NBC before launching his own firm and writing best sellers like King of the Condo, a satiric novel based on his experiences as president of a Florida condo. When he launched TransMedia Group in 1981, the boutique firm landed the largest company in America at the time, AT&T, as its first client. Madden helped Ma Bell through its tumultuous divestiture, guiding the then-besieged chairman Charley Brown through the media underbrush up to a safe clearing where the company reinvented itself. The City of New York also was quick to tap Maddenâ??s magic with media and he was assigned to promote fair housing in the city. The brilliant PSA campaign he created earned Madden not only Mayor Kochâ??s gratitude, but a Bronze Anvil Award from the Public Relations Society of America. Recently Maddenâ??s illustrious PR firm in one year promoted the calorie-burning soft drink Celsius from a penny stock selling for three cents a share to a NASDAQ-listed company, where its stock soared to over $5 a share after TransMedia booked Celsius spokespersons and weight-loss testimonials on over 100 TV stations nationwide.
