#nhra #AustinProck #dragracing In this special episode, we feature 2X NHRA Funny Car World Champion Austin Prock in his first WFO interview since making headlines by joining Ford Racing and Bob Tasca's Mustang Nitro Funny Car team at Tasca Racing. Fresh off his back-to-back championships and now piloting the iconic Ford Performance Mustang Dark Horse Funny Car—with his father Jimmy Prock as crew chief and the entire Prock family crew aboard—Austin opens up about his bold move to leave John Force Racing after years of success there. He'll share the reasons behind the switch, the thrill of aligning with Ford Racing and the Tasca organization, and how this new partnership positions him to chase history. Prock dives deep into his ambitious goal: securing a third consecutive NHRA Funny Car World Championship in what promises to be one of the most competitive seasons yet. Plus, with the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series celebrating its milestone 75th season in 2026—complete with a historic 20-race schedule, new tracks, special Diamond Wally trophies, legendary honorees, and nonstop celebrations—Austin reflects on what it means to compete in this landmark year and carry the momentum into Gainesville for the season-opening Gatornationals.

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.
