On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, Funny Car points leader Austin Prock and NHRA Rookie of the Year candidate Ida Zetterstrom join host Brian Lohnes to talk about their respective seasons at drag racing's pinnacle. The two youthful stars have different goals this year but they are both chasing the dreams they have held since childhood.    For Austin Prock, the odds-on favorite for the 2024 NHRA Funny Car championship, it's been a season of incredible highs and some abrupt lows like the one that stopped his Cornwell Quality Tools Chevrolet Camaro in Dallas. Prock talks about the year, about the mistake that ended his race day, some interesting stories about his very early career, and how the team plans to attack over the next two events of 2024. A fascinating chat about goals, attitude, performance, and how it all ties together.    Rookie NHRA Top Fuel racer Ida Zetterstrom burst onto the scene with an upset holeshot win against Steve Torrence in Brainerd and has been making waves ever since. A tireless spokeswoman for the NHRA, her career, and the sport of drag racing globally, she walks us through her breakneck schedule that has carried her back and forth to Europe all season long. The ups and downs of her rookie experience are front and center as well.    All this and more on this episode of the NHRA Insider powered by Speedmaster!

Our buddy John Force was involved in a terrifying crash in his NHRA Funny Car on Sunday afternoon during the Virginia Nationals. We want to send our well wishes to John for a speedy recovery, and can't wait to see him back behind the wheel. If there is one person who has ever been on the Dale Jr. Download that is still brought up most, it's probably John Force. We're going to look back at some of the greatest moments from that interview and also talk to John's friend and competitor, Matt Hagan, about John's fiery competitiveness and his charismatic - and hilarious - personality. Plus, ask any driver, and they'll tell you what we all know is true: the sting of defeat is more intense than the euphoria of victory. With his second-place finish at New Hampshire, Sheldon Creed has now tied Daniel Hemric and Dale Jarrett for the most runner-up finishes ever before securing a NASCAR Xfinity Series win. We talk to Creed himself and hear from Daniel Hemric on the challenges of claiming that first victory.
