On this episode of The Daily Driver, we're joined by none other than Mikie Sturgill, former NHRA World Champion, multi-time track champion, and multi-time divisional champion. A highly respected figure in the sportsman drag racing world and a guest instructor with ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE, Mikie brings a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience to the mic. So I had to ask him the burning question, why the switch from a dragster to a door car? 

 From time to time here on The Daily Driver, I like to share a piece from my column in The Science of Winning, featured in NHRA's National Dragster. Today, I'm bringing you one titled ‘Where I Come From'.

Labor Day Replay:Drag racing fans rejoice! The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) is roaring back onto the scene with a full revival that includes the return of Top Fuel racing after a 15-year absence. Division Director Doug Foley joins us to share the exciting developments happening within one of drag racing's most storied organizations.Founded in 1971 by Larry Carrier at Bristol International Speedway, IHRA has long represented an alternative approach to drag racing. After recent ownership changes, the organization has recommitted to both grassroots racing and professional nitro categories with a fresh perspective. Foley reveals that IHRA now owns five racetracks across the country and has attracted full fields of Top Fuel and Funny Car competitors for their upcoming national events.What makes IHRA's approach different? Their racer-friendly philosophy shines through in everything from event structure to insurance coverage. While maintaining similar safety standards to other sanctioning bodies, IHRA has streamlined their competition format to two-day shows with fewer qualifying sessions, allowing teams to compete for substantial purses ($50,000 to win) with significantly lower operating costs. Their comprehensive insurance program provides racers with $1 million in liability coverage plus additional benefits rarely seen in motorsports.The 2024 IHRA season kicks off July 9-12 at National Trail Raceway near Columbus, Ohio, featuring a diverse lineup of classes including Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Mod, and the IHRA-originated Mountain Motor Pro Stock category. With notable drivers like Scott Palmer, Dale Creasy Jr., and Terry Haddock committed to competing, this revival represents not just a trip down memory lane but a viable new path forward for drag racing that balances spectacle with sustainability.Whether you're a longtime IHRA supporter or simply a drag racing enthusiast looking for more nitro-powered action, this renaissance deserves your attention.

This week brings the final audio edition of the ThisIsBracketRacing email series on the idea of what if bracket racing was easy and it is focused on the mental game of racing. How to make performing under pressure, easy! 

LABOR DAY REPLAY:Courtney Enders brings her infectious enthusiasm and deep drag racing knowledge to this episode as she discusses her exciting new role with NHRA TV. As the sister of six-time Pro Stock champion Erica Enders, Courtney offers a unique insider perspective on the sport while carving her own path in racing media.Speaking from her temporary home in snowy Stratford, Ontario, Courtney shares the whirlwind journey that led to her joining the NHRA broadcast team alongside veterans like Dave Freiburger. What makes her story particularly compelling is how she's balancing multiple professional roles simultaneously – maintaining her full-time position managing content at Flow Racing while taking on NHRA TV responsibilities and still assisting with team management at Elite Motorsports.The conversation takes fascinating turns as Courtney provides candid insights into Elite Motorsports' rumored Top Fuel aspirations. She describes team owner Richard Freeman as "the world's most interesting man" with his "hand always on the go button," while explaining the regulatory challenges preventing Erica from competing in both Pro Stock and Top Fuel. Listeners gain valuable understanding of the behind-the-scenes dynamics that shape racing team decisions.Perhaps most poignant is Courtney's vulnerability when discussing Elite's challenging 2023 season, revealing how crew chief Mark Ingersoll's double lung transplant impacted the team's performance. Despite the setbacks, she assures fans that Erica is "pissed off and hungry" heading into the new season – a mindset that has previously led to championship runs.For both dedicated racing fans and casual listeners, this episode provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of drag racing media, the personal stories behind the competition, and how the Enders family continues to shape the sport's future. Whether you're familiar with the Disney movie "Right On Track" that chronicled the Enders sisters' early career or just discovering their story, Courtney's enthusiasm for all things drag racing is undeniably contagious.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Special In Wheel Time Replay - Courtney Enders brings her infectious energy and deep motorsports knowledge to this episode as she discusses her groundbreaking new role with NHRA TV. Far from leaving her position at Flow Racing, she explains how she'll balance multiple responsibilities while bringing fresh perspectives to drag racing broadcasting after years of "knocking on their door."The conversation takes listeners behind the scenes of Elite Motorsports' challenging 2023 season, where crew chief Mark Ingersoll's double lung transplant significantly impacted the team's performance. Despite this setback, Erica Enders still finished fourth in the championship standings—an achievement most racers would celebrate, but one that left the six-time champion "wildly disappointed" and hungrier than ever for 2024.Courtney provides clarity on swirling rumors about Elite Motorsports entering Top Fuel, describing how Richard Freeman's premature announcement created "a storm of nonsense." She details the real obstacles they face, including NHRA rules preventing competitors from racing in multiple professional categories simultaneously. The team has even conducted timing tests to demonstrate how Erica could potentially compete in both Pro Stock and Top Fuel with proper scheduling.The episode also features Don Armstrong's comprehensive review of the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV, highlighting its impressive 484-mile range capability, multi-function mid-gate that extends bed space to nearly 11 feet, and thoughtful interior design. His honest assessment addresses both strengths and ongoing challenges with charging infrastructure.Whether you're a dedicated drag racing fan or simply curious about automotive innovations, this episode delivers insider perspectives on motorsports media evolution alongside practical insights about the electric vehicle landscape.

Drag racing fans rejoice! The International Hot Rod Association is roaring back to life with a racer-friendly approach that challenges the status quo of professional drag racing. Division Director Doug Foley joins the In Wheel Time podcast to share how IHRA is reinventing itself after years in the shadows of larger sanctioning bodies.The biggest news? Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars are returning to IHRA competition after a 15-year absence, with full eight-car fields already committed to the upcoming season opener at National Trail Raceway in Ohio this July. Racing legends like Scott Palmer, Dale Creasy Jr., and Terry Haddock have signed on, drawn by IHRA's compelling format: $50,000 winner purses requiring just five runs to claim victory, compared to eight runs in other series."We're not trying to copy anybody else," Foley explains, detailing how IHRA has crafted its program specifically for racers who want competitive action without breaking the bank. While top teams in other series might spend three to four million dollars annually running 20+ events, IHRA's five-event national schedule allows teams to participate at less than half the cost.The organization has invested heavily in infrastructure, purchasing five racetracks including National Trail and Galot Motorsports Park, while developing industry-leading insurance coverage that protects competitors with $1 million liability policies. Beyond the nitro classes, IHRA features Pro Mod, Mountain Motor Pro Stock (with larger engines than traditional Pro Stock), and various alcohol categories.For fans of grassroots drag racing who remember IHRA's heyday, this revival represents a return to the organization's core values—providing thrilling competition without requiring corporate backing to participate. The season culminates at the World Finals in North Carolina this November, with live streaming planned for those who can't attend in person.What's your preferred style of drag racing?

Today in Overdrive Radio, walk through Kevin Bruns' purchase of a 2019 Cummins-powered International LoneStar after several years of local dump truck ownership and work around quarries and construction sites in the Nashville, Tennessee, region. That followed early experience with authority hauling cars a couple decades back, based outside Chicago where Bruns is from originally, then pneumatic tanker work as a company driver, all of it in prep for where the owner-operator is today, married with two young children and back out on his own with authority as Bruns Trucking: https://overdriveonline.com/15749776 He restarted that authority a year and a half back, and with authority-age requirements so many brokers have today, up until recently he's hauled power only with dry vans for several large outfits, now testing the waters with a step deck trailer fairly recently purchased, where he's seeing good rates with the trailer in service for just a couple of months. The owner-op's making plenty time for outside pursuits, too. One of the reasons we came together last week was his then-impending competition in this past weekend's Semi Stampede uphill truck drag race competition at Kunle Motorsports Park due south of Cleveland: https://overdriveonline.com/15748980 Bruns attended with his big-truck-fan son last year, and this year was planning to compete in the stock class, bobtail. "I don't need to throw my driveshaft out," he quipped. Indeed, and you can find a video from his competition here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DXAzYJ5qF/ (Unfortunately, the LoneStar got outrun in that one by a Pete, but I'm certain the experience was nonetheless one to remember.) Listen on for Bruns' trucking career in miniature, and his efforts to build the network in and around Gallatin, Tennessee, these past years for maintenance, for freight and for life and music, too. It's Nashville, after all, where he's now headquartered.

For this week's Daily Driver I wanted to read from my column that I pen for NHRA National Dragster called The Science of Winning. My latest contribution is titled It's About Time and that is what I wanted to share today with you. 

Back this week and covering all the action from Michigan International Speedway! Our home race was an absolute dandy!

ELITE Members know, the “off” season is a busy season! A big part of that within ELITE is our offseason practice league. In this episode I wanted to talk about my personal journey with the practice league and how it translated in 2024 and now into 2025 on the track. 

We are back in the Cruze missile silo after taking a week off. Been very busy around here, but that hasn't stopped all the racing action from across the globe. We go over all the action from F1 in Spain and look ahead to Canada. IndyCar was in Detroit last weekend and we also talk about what we missed from the 500. We cover all the action we missed from the Coke 600 and review the Nashville race. We make our picks and look ahead to the race from Michigan coming up this weekend. 

In this episode of the Daily Driver, I am joined by regular ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE guest instructor, former World NHRA Champion, multi-time division and track Champion, Mikie Sturgill. I wanted to talk with Mikie about strategic flexibility and in particular how he got to the level he's at in that flexibility.
