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.

In this special release of the Daily Driver Podcast, we share a "pre-screening" audio of my upcoming live webinar "Bracket Racing Made Easy". I like to ask myself "What would this look like if it were easy?" in all facets of life. But especially on the race track, this can be an illuminating way to becoming a more effective racer. In this episode, I share how to lean into your strengths and guard against your weaknesses, plus some practical tips that will help you find more win lights today. Enjoy!

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? Catch all the nitro-burning action as IHRA brings accessibility back to professional drag racing.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.

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.

This week on the Daily Driver, I wanted to talk about the origins of Big Buck Footbrake Racing and my own memories of it starting. 

This week on the Daily Driver, I am joined again by regular ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE guest instructor, Kris Whitfield. Kris talks about his battles with anxiety and the ways he has worked with it in his racing. 

The second part of our conversation with Sadie Glenn starts by switching into how she formed her own social media and photography company, SR Driven Media. Glenn works for a number of drivers in NHRA, such as her husband Dallas, Angie and Matt Smith, Corey Reed, and others. She then digs into having a degree but also being self-taught with the spacing changing over the years; what she tries to accomplish with her work for her clients; the importance of having something (the business) for herself; the openness and honesty Glenn brings to her personal social media pages; her plans for the 2025 season with her racing and her business.  Original music created by Tony Monge. Follow me here: https://linktr.ee/kellycrandall

A common question I'm frequently asked is, what's the best way to prepare for racing after the offseason break? I can tell you one relatively simple thing that I still do, 30 years into my racing career. 

Sadie Glenn is ready for a new NHRA drag racing season that begins this weekend in Florida. Not only as a businesswoman and wife, but as a racer herself. We start the first part of our conversation discussing being on the verge of a new NHRA season; living in NASCAR country; the background of her start in drag racing; the balance of being a part-time driver and her husband being a full-time driver; the approach to her driving career and how often she competes; the reality of trying to be a driver and how that was going to look; the idea of driving being good for the soul; being a cancer survivor and how that effects her today.  Original music created by Tony Monge. Follow me here: https://linktr.ee/kellycrandall

On this week's Daily Driver, I'm joined by regular ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE guest instructor and highly accomplished big dollar bracket racer Matt Dadas and we jump right to the burning question...staging.
