Podcasts about Drag racing

This week's Daily Driver episode is dedicated to honoring the 2025 NHRA Lucas Oil Sportsman Champions. 

Wow is it a Friday drop, holyyyyyy. Enjoy our confusion with Drag Racing classes. Ben throws out a prompt at the end of the episode instead of the beginning. This was take two of this podcast, the first was to unhinged for BenjiBeBopCo-host: @ezagul1_r , @dev.amg, @benjibebopSponsor: @_rspro

Nitro belongs to the people who build the cars, tow the trailers, and wrench late into the night—and that's exactly where we start. We sit down with IHRA Division Director Doug Foley to unpack how a racer-led sanctioning body is rebuilding big-league drag racing around access, value, and raw excitement. Think eight-car nitro fields, a clean two-day show, and five passes to a $50,000 purse—designed to cut costs without cutting thrills.Doug takes us inside IHRA's class lineup, from Top Fuel Funny Car and Top Fuel to Pro Mod, Top Alcohol, and the fan-favorite Mountain Motor Pro Stock. He explains why IHRA's rules hew close enough to NHRA for cross-compatibility while staying flexible for teams sidelined by expensive mandates. We also dig into the hidden economics of safety recertifications and how smarter formats reduce parts attrition and travel burn, giving privateers a real shot.One of the biggest shifts: IHRA now owns multiple tracks, including National Trail Raceway, Milan Dragway, and Galot Motorsports Park. Facility ownership creates stability, consistent prep, and better sponsor value. Add in serious member insurance—robust liability, accident coverage, and income protection—and the message is clear: take care of racers and the show gets better for everyone. We map the season opener in Ohio, the World Finals in North Carolina, and tease livestream details so you can watch from anywhere.If you care about sustainable nitro, big-inch Mountain Motor action, and events built by racers for racers, this conversation is your pit pass.

Wednesday afternoon, NHRA made an announcement that changes the game! Due to an awful forecast, the sportsman classes will run to completion Thursday... without a time trial! How does this wrinkle alter the championship chase? And what questions are still unanswered?

There is no driver coming into Pomona with more potential variance in outcome than Darian Boesch. And he's not even racing in Pomona. He's coming into the season finale leading both Top Dragster and Top Sportsman. Will he end the weekend as the 4th driver in NHRA history to win 2 world championship in the same season? Or will he leave empty handed? 

Continuing our deep dive into last weekend's captivating race in Vegas, I mentioned in yesterday's episode that today would be dedicated to Jeff Taylor. He's a three-time NHRA World Champion and this past weekend he reminded everyone exactly why. 

We're here, the final race on the NHRA Lucas Oil series schedule. What will happen in the Super Classes? Will Whitfield and Brock hold on? 

Neo The Home Robot: The future is here! Or is it? A new AI robot dubbed NEO has been announced but is it just an Indian guy using VR to control him. Zoom Court Fails: A cop shows up to Zoom court with no pants. Are we going to just let this happen!? Andy Richter and Adrien Skye: Andy Richter survives another night during the Halloween episode! How far can the Fandy's go!? We also get an alert that the Adrien Skye listening party is going on!

This is what I love about November every year. This past weekend was absolutely captivating. Today's episode of the Daily Driver is dedicated to Justin Lamb, who came into the event knowing he had to do one thing: win the race. Nothing less would do. And boy did he show out! 

On today's episode of the Daily Driver, we're talking about lane discrepancies and how you can use them to your advantage. 

The boyz jumped in the studio for abanger episode. No telling what will come to mind and be talked about from one minute to the next. Show up for the RC Drag Racing converstaion, stay for the laughs.

Jimmy Hidalgo, Jr. is the favorite in Super Stock... but it's not over! Kris Whitfield is the favorite in SC... but it's not over! JJ Brock is the favorite in SG... but it's FAR from over! Luke does his best to break down all the scenarios (and even gives some odds) in today's Daily Driver!

We visit with young Gary Fuller (James, GH)! We hear about his amazing off-screen activites, how we got his start in the business, and of course what does he want to do when he grows up?? Hint...

As we come into the final two weeks of the season, only the Stock Eliminator and TAFC titles have been determined. Today, Luke breaks down the favorites and contenders in the "fast" classes: Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, and Competition Eliminator!

The Champions have been crowned in all three NASCAR series. We discuss the Truck Series, Xfinity Series, and Cup Series finales from Phoenix. There were celebrations and some heartbreak in all three series. F1 heads to Brazil this weekend and it's a Sprint Race Weekend. We'll see if there will be a shakeup at the top of the points standings after what is sure to be an epic Brazilian Grand Prix. NHRA was flying in Vegas. We take a look at the winners and the current points standings as NHRA wraps up their season in Pomona in a couple weeks. Thanks for tuning in! 

Only two events remain in the 2025 NHRA Lucas Oil season! In this episode of Daily Driver, I'm recapping all the action from Las Vegas, a weekend that favored the points leaders. No lead changes this time, which is something you don't see often this late in the year. 

In this episode of Daily Driver, we're diving into the “nothing to lose” mindset. I've learned over the years that when I race with that mindset, I perform at my best. The real challenge? Figuring out how to tap into that mindset consistently. 

In this episode of The Nerd Out, fair warning, it's going to run longer than 10 minutes, we're diving into the incredible drama of Super Gas. Over the past three seasons, the chase has come down to Pomona, and it feels like destiny is leading us right back there again. As we head into this weekend, 11 drivers remain mathematically in the hunt for the world championship and all 11 are entered in the West Coast races. 

Today, we're resetting the stage in the 8.90 Super Comp category as we head into the final three weeks of the season. It's fair to say the 2025 season has been all about one man, Kris Whitfield. But there's a twist... he waived two events that he actually went on to win. Because of that, the championship isn't quite locked up just yet.

I'm back and flying solo this week! Short show for you to get all the highlights from Martinsville weekend. Trucks, Xfinity, and Cup Series final fours are all set and ready for Phoenix Championship weekend. I've got all our picks and predictions for what is sure to be an exciting final round in the NASCAR Playoffs. F1 was in Mexico City over the weekend, and we had all kinds of drama from off track excursions and penalties to a brand-new points leader when the checkered flag fell. Thanks for tuning it! 

Short of Super Gas, the Super Stock title race may be the most compelling. Reigning champ Jimmy Hidalgo, Jr. is the leader in the clubhouse with what "should" be a fairly comfortable lead... But his two closest contenders have combined for NINE NHRA World Championships!

Over the next week I'm going to try my best to set the stage for the remaining 3 weeks of the season. Today I'm focusing on the Stock and Comp classes.

This week, before it was America's fastest sport, drag racing was pure anarchy — street duels, homebuilt death traps, and war vets chasing speed wherever they could find it. Wally Parks stepped in to bring order to the chaos, founding the NHRA to make racing safer and more legit. From outlaw origins to organized empire, this is the story of how the NHRA was born, and the crash that changed drag racing forever. Learn more about your ad choices.

Continuing on with the Nerd Out series and this week I'm turning the spotlight back on Top Dragster. 

We are back and so was Talladega! We're talking winners, playoffs, points, and our picks! We are looking ahead to Martinsville and we can't wait to see if there's a driver below the cutoff that races their way into the final four. Two races left, who's it gonna be? F1 was in Texas over the weekend and there has been some major gains from Max in the points battle. Mexico Grand Prix is on for this coming weekend and we are here for it! Thanks for tuning in!  

The Nerd Out series is back, and it's getting way too juicy to cram multiple classes into a single weekly episode. So, we're switching gears. From now on, each episode will focus on just one class at a time, with multiple episodes dropping every week.This episode? It's all about Stock Eliminator. Let's nerd out!

It's that time of year again... time to Nerd Out! Today I wanted to take a bird's eye view on a few classes that I don't think will be too impacted by the trio of upcoming divisional races this coming weekend.   

Bob Lazar - The "NEVER-SEEN" Interview with Don Garlits (1997) | M5D Podcast An explosive trip down memory lane! We've rediscovered the legendary and "lost" 1997 interview where Area 51 whistleblower Bob Lazar sat down with racing legend Don Garlits. What began as a conversation about jet drag racing quickly delved into the deepest secrets of the S-4 and the reverse engineering of alien spacecraft. Get ready for the story the Air Force didn't want you to hear. The truth is in 1997. Alien Engineering: Bob Lazar's Lost Interview with Don Garlits (1997) Deep in the archives, we've found the tape that connects the world of extreme speed to the U.S. government's most closely guarded secrets. This isn't just a podcast; it's a declassification operation. In 1997, controversial physicist Bob Lazar, who claimed to have worked on reverse-engineering UFOs at the S-4 site near Area 51, gave a unique interview to the "Father of Drag Racing," Don Garlits. The reason for the meeting? A jet dragster. The result? A confession that shook the UFO community. We'll hear rare excerpts and analyze the context of this conversation, forgotten for decades, where Lazar details the mechanics of alien propulsion and the role of Element 115, long before it was officially synthesized. In this high-octane episode, we uncover: The connection between military technology and the extraterrestrial presence. How a passion for jet vehicles led to the revelation of spacecraft. The mysterious Element 115 and its role in antigravity propulsion. Behind the scenes at the secret Area 51 (S-4) laboratory. Lazar's challenges in proving his work and the attempts to discredit it. What 1997 alien technology can tell us about today's science. Buckle up. Technology humanity wasn't meant to have is about to be revealed. #BobLazar #Area51 #UFO #Elemento115 #DonGarlits #M5D #m5dpodcast #m5dpodbean #multiverse5dspotify #m5dapplepodcasts #m5dlistennotes #m5dpodchaser Spotify Multiverse 5D Linktr.ee linktr.ee/multiverse520  

We're back! Fresh off NASCAR's weekend in Sin City. Denny Hamlin joins the 60 win and over crowd as he locked himself into the final four with his big win at Vegas. We make our picks for the unpredictable race this weekend at Talladega.NHRA was in Dallas over the weekend, and we saw some more dominance in the top fuel categories. F1 is back in the US of A and will be running a Sprint Race weekend at the spectacular Circuit of the Americas this weekend and go head-to-head with NASCAR for TV viewership. Thanks for tuning in!  

The boyz have no clue what day it is — but that doesn't stop the laughs. In Episode 132, the RC U Radio crew is back in full chaos mode, and this time they're joined by none other than RC drag racing standout AJ Marasco. From serious speed talk to not-so-serious shenanigans, AJ dives into the current state of RC drag racing, shares some behind-the-scenes insights, and gets caught up in the usual madness. Buckle up — it's fast, funny, and full-throttle fun.

From time to time on The Daily Driver, I like to share pieces from my column The Science of Winning featured in NHRA's National Dragster magazine. This week I am sharing The Jr Dragster Experience.

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'.

Back in the silo after a week off. We do a quick wrap up on the action from Bristol we missed last week. Boy oh boy was Bristol a dandy of a race!

DISCLAIMER: This episode experienced some audio issues.

We talk all about the caution-filled race from Gateway. The Xfinity regular season has come to an end with another win from the 88 team.

We are finally back after a week off due to some scheduling conflicts! The Cup Series Playoffs have begun, and Darlington put on one heck of a race under the lights! IndyCar wrapped up their season in Nashville last week. NHRA was at Indy for the granddaddy of them all, the US Nationals.
