Send us a textIt happened! We officially have somebody from my Wishlist of guests on the podcast today. And, that person is none other then multi-time NHRA Top Fuel World Champion, Brittany Force. I am still baffled that this all happened, but so appreciative that it did. Brittany is a rad human and I hope everyone that listens takes something away from our conversation. Multi-time NHRA Top Fuel World Champion, Brittany Force, drives for John Force Racing. The Southern California native is the 2017 and 2022 Top Fuel champion, holds the record for the fastest time ever set in a Top Fuel car (343.51mph) which she set earlier this year. In today's conversation, we dive into her early years growing up at the track with her dad, John Force (16x Funny Car World Champion), when she realized her dad was an icon in the sport of drag racing, graduating from Cal State Fullerton with her Teaching Credential, to how she ended up in a Top Fuel car yet had no intentions of making it her career, winning her World Championships, the the mental battles she endured while racing, and so much more. Again, I can't thank Brittany and the crew at John Force Racing enough for helping me bring this to life. Along with Nathan Avila who connected the dots and Skullcandy for giving us a space to have this conversation. I hope everyone enjoy's our conversation. And, hopefully we can have Brittany back on the podcast for a part two in the future.

On this Top Fuel centric episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast presented by Speedmaster, all-time great crew chief Alan Johnson and NHRA rookie Top Fuel driver Kyle Satenstein join host Brian Lohnes. The two guys are on wildly different ends of their Top Fuel lives but both bring fascinating perspective to the conversation. For Alan Johnson the conversation takes us through this season and the approach that has placed the team in the thick of a championship run yet again. It moves through Johnson's history in the sport, his evolving approach to Top Fuel racing, and the sometimes invisible elements that make good teams into great ones. His insights into the more hidden corners of the crew chief role are fascinating. Kyle Satenstein is a racer through and through. Coming from the world of small tire and grudge racing, his path to Top Fuel racing is both interesting and unexpected. Sporting one of the most unique sponsors in the class and the attitude of a successful and hardcore racer, he had a heck of a weekend in Brainerd. The small team nearly pulled off the upset of the race in round one and you'll hear him tell the whole story. Two very different men in very different places with the singular passion of NHRA Top Fuel drag racing. Enjoy the conversations.

“You're gonna get fired anyway, so you might as well start racing!” Clay Millican was a forklift operator. He quit that job to chase a dream in drag racing, and now he's an NHRA Top Fuel legend. He's also our very first guest on It's Not the Car! This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel. We call this format “Guest Teaches Us a Thing"—in this case, what it feels like to have 11,000 hp under your right foot. If you like it, don't worry—there are plenty more to come whether you like it or not. Related Trivia: Top Fuel racing can be absurdly violent. Clay's car once vibrated so much that it shook his dental crowns from his mouth. Mike, INTC's producer, wrote this episode description late at night with approximately four functional brain cells, and he will probably suffer the same fate simply by continuing to miss his dentist appointments.

On this episode of the NHRA Insider, Blake Alexander, Lauren Freer, and Brittany Force join host Brian Lohnes to talk about awesome success at Norwalk, making history as an NHRA drag racer, and the potential to win the first-ever Driver of the Year ESPY for an NHRA competitor. Two-time NHRA Top Fuel winner Blake Alexander had a manic weekend in Ohio. Abject disappointment on Friday night gave way to perhaps the most satisfying and emotionally charged victory of his career on Sunday afternoon. It was his first win since 2018 and Jim Head's first since 1997 when he was a driver himself. The road to this win was very long and hard, and Blake tells the story. Lauren Freer became the 30th person in NHRA history and the first woman to ever win two classes at the same national event. Her career arc has taken her from Junior Dragster into the deepest end of the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series talent pool. Her victory was spread over two days, one a very long Saturday and the second a very short Sunday. The behind-the-scenes stories from this one are fantastic. Brittany Force, the 2017 and 2022 Top Fuel champion has been nominated for the second time in her career for the ESPN Driver of the Year ESPY. No drag racer has ever won this award and she hopes to be the first. The conversation with Brittany is wide-ranging and takes us deep into her team history, her approach, and how she and her team continue to function as a unit today. This show is PACKED! Enjoy!
