Podcasts about gatornationals

On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, Tony Pedregon and Kevin McKenna join host Brian Lohnes for a rip-roaring conversation that covers a lot of ground in the world of NHRA drag racing. The group talks a lot about Gainesville, what was learned and maybe what is yet to be learned from premier teams in 2025, they talk about the reverberations of Bob Tasca's Gainesville interview, how it has prompted discussions across media and motorsports, reactions to the Gatornationals, Robert Hight's retirement from John Force Racing, the PlayNHRA odds coming into Phoenix, and a whole lot more.    This is a high octane, high intensity episode that will have you picking a side for sure. The desert battleground of Firebird Motorsports Park will be the scene of the action this weekend but before you get there, this battle of the airwaves will get you pumped up!

We are back for a late night recording this week! Shout out to Joshua Ray Walker for the kickass intro this week as we were feeling some type of way! Don't report us to the copyright police haha!! NASCAR kicked off their "west coast swing" with a spectacular weekend of racing from the Xfinity Series and Cup Series in Phoenix! the "option tire" of Sunday did not disappoint! We go over all the action from the desert! NHRA kicked off their 2025 season with the Gatornationals from Florida with some familiar faces in the winner's circle and one big upset in Funny Car! And F1 is back!!!!! The Australian Grand Prix kicks off the 2025 F1 season and we cannot wait!! Catch all the action this weekend! Thanks for the download! 

It was a weekend that challenged drag racers in every way possible and on this episdoe of the NHRA Insider podcast, host Brian Lohnes has winning Funny Car co-crew chief Dean Marinis and Top Fuel winner Antron Brown on to talk about it all. From the weather, to the power outages, the broken parts, and a race track that was as challenging as any Sunday has ever presented itself, winning this Gatornationals was an accomplishment few will ever forget.    On the heels of a championship Antron Brown and his team put on a masterclass in both driving and tuning at Gainesville. When they needed to manage the power and rely on their driver, he was there, when the driver needed maximum performance in the final, the car was there. How? Antron tells all here.   Dean Marinis has had an epic career in drag racing. From street racing in New York to class racing, dominating small tire racing, becoming one of the best nitrous tuners ever, and now a winning Funny Car wrench, he has truly done it all. He talks about his career and the Gainesville win here.    So many great stories, these are two of the best.

Boy, was he right. The whole story of his victory is one for the history books.    Rob Flynn commanded his tune-up and team like a maestro in Gainesville, making the final round of the Pep Boys All-Star Top Fuel Call Out and then winning Top Fuel Eliminator on Sunday.

Phil and Josh return for E159 of the GSP after a busy weekend in the world of motorsports.  IndyCar opened their season at St. Pete with flying cars, tempers and running over the TV time.  However, #thesneakyswede Marcus Ericsson passed Pato O'Ward coming to three laps to go for his fourth career IndyCar victory and third on a street circuit.  The guys talk about the incidents, the key players and what to look at as the series takes a break for essentially a month. Formula 1 was a rinse and repeat affair with Verstappen winning at Bahrain for the first time and Red Bull getting a 1-2 finish.  The story of the weekend was Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso, who battled back after a poor start to get on the podium.  Aston Martin showed great pace in testing and that also came through during the race weekend.  On the flip side, Ferrari's reliability issues bit Charles Leclerc again and cost him a likely podium while Carlos Sainz struggled but finished fourth.  Mercedes is well behind and has similar tire deg issues as Ferrari, but both cars finished with Sir Lewis Hamilton rounding out the top five.  Phil and Josh cover all of this and Logan Sargeant's F1 debut which saw him finish 12th. NASCAR had a triple-header at Las Vegas, with William Byron, Austin Hill and Kyle Busch winning in Cup, XFinity and Trucks respectively.  The biggest news though was William Clyde Elliott II breaking his leg in a snowboarding accident, having surgery and no announced time table for a return.   A packed GSP Roundup covers F2 & F3 at Bahrain, World Superbike at Mandalika, Indy NXT at St. Pete, AMA Supercross at Daytona, NHRA season preview with the Gatornationals this weekend, Extreme E season preview with the Desert X-Prix in Saudi taking place and Supercars starting their Gen 3 era with Mustangs and Camaros at Newcastle. Phil and Josh get back to make their picks and preview the weekend at Phoenix for Cup and XFinity prior to Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close. 

Josh Hart previews the March 8th Fan Fest at Burnyzz Speed Shop before the Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals.

On this pre-Gatornationals episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast, NHRAonFOX analyst Tony Pedregon and National Dragster Sr. Editor Kevin McKenna join host Brian Lohnes to talk about how testing has gone, what teams should be better than they were in 2022 and which teams have made the most waves in testing. The guys also delve into the topic of the things they DO NOT want to hear in 2023, and that may be the most entertaining part of the whole exercise.    Pedregon takes us deep inside the Bob Tasca team to talk about what happened to cause his crew chief change, the immediate results of it, and why the driver/crew chief dynamic is so important on any team. Lohnes shares a wild story about how they may have known about the change before many others did. Clay Millican's team is talked through, and expectations are shared now that they have the most parts, pieces, and funding than they ever have had before. Similarly, the guys talk about Doug Kalitta and the whole Kalitta camp and what they foresee for Shawn Langdon and Doug in 2023.    The class-by-class breakdown culminates in a fun conversation about the cliches and actions the guys want to see drivers abandon for 2023. Whether it's feigning to not care about opponents or turning the top end into a recreation of the summer of love, the boys have a few ideas. Perhaps you have more to add!   A fun show to get us fully cranked up for the start of the season!

On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast, 2017 NHRA Top Fuel World Champion Brittany Force joins host Brian Lohnes to talk about the often hidden hard work of racing at a championship level in the class. Lohnes leads off the show with a Gatornationals preview monologue running through the latest news in the sport leading up to the race, looking at the pro stock motorcycle category, and talking about what's in store for racers and fans as part of the Pep Boys All-Star Top Fuel Callout.    All of the professional categories have full fields and the top fuel and pro stock classes both sport some 21 entries, which means that qualifying will be filled with the kind of suspense and intrigue that fans love to see.  The conversation with Brittany Force takes us inside the workings of a top fuel team with discussions on leadership, team chemistry, and how the balance of an insane workload gets offset by the familial relationship that teams develop over the course of a relentless season. It's interesting, informative, and introspective.

Jon Pellicane had a story book year in 2015 with 3 victories that put him on the map as a contender in the ever so tough 9.90 class.

We're feeling a little green this week as St. Paddy's day is upon us on Wheelz Up Radio and that only means one thing, The Kick-off of the first East Coast National Event of the season in Florida. This week we welcome special guest host Kelli Barbato, Mike Carr and the "Wagon Boyz" as they talk the latest news and notes from the world of drag racing. On this week's show presented by SASSY RACING ENGINES the gang will talk to Vermont Runner Garner Stone about 2014 Cobra Jet Mustang that runs in the Factory Stock Showdown in NHRA Competition and Factory Super Car Class NMCA. The Gang will also re-cap the Division 2 opener at Gainesville Raceway, the NMCA Race at Bradenton Motorsports Park and look forward to the East Coast Kick-Off of National Events and the Amalie Oil Gatornationals this upcoming weekend. Wednesday's Nights guest comes to us from the great state of Vermont. Gardner Stone is a successful business man with his own car dealership and commercial rental business to date. When he has the time Gardner likes to mix it up with his 2014 Cobra Jet Mustang in NHRA & NMCA Competition running in the ever popular Factory Stock Showdown and Factory Super Car Classes. If the name sounds familiar to those in other forms of motorsport’s it's because Gardner was one of the most successful tractor pullers on the East Coast with his "General" turbine engine tractor on the NTPA tour. We will talk with Gardner on Wednesday Night about how he made out at the NMCA event and how he is preparing for the Gatornationals this upcoming weekend.
