On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, Tony Pedregon joins Brian Lohnes to talk all things Lucas Oil Nationals, championship contenders, fresh drivers arriving at the race, and how some teams are contending for a title already and some teams are pretending to.    The pair spend the first part of their discussion deep diving into the arrival of Jack Beckman on the scene as John Force's replacement driver. They talk about his experience, how the team can and should succeed, and what Jack brings to the table as the right man for the job. There's a pretty candid look into how the competition stacks up in the category and who may benefit from Jack's arrival and who may suffer for it.    Following that chat they go class by class singling out high performing teams as well as those that seem to be fading at this important juncture in the season. Pro Stock? That's a spicy chat about who may actually be the flagship car on each of the major teams and how that name isn't who you'd necessarily expect.    The good, the bad, and the juicy all right here leading into Brainerd!

With the ability to go over 250MPH and make 5 second passes despite strict parity regulations, the NHRA Pro Modified drag racing series is possibly one of the most competitive in existence.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inAt the last PRI trade show, we managed to catch Shane Tecklenburg once again to gain an insight into his exploits with the NHRA - E3 Spark Plugs Pro Mod Drag Racing Series via the Elite Motorsports/Modern Racing team. With 3 cars on track piloted by Erica Enders, Alex Laughlin and Steve Matusek the Pro Mod series was a new project after the teams' success in the Pro Stock series, but it didn't come without a steep learning curve given the heavy dependence on experience (guessing and checking) the Pro Mod drag racing regulations spur.Some of the differences between a turbocharged and supercharged car are discussed along with some of the processes the NHRA implements to ensure ECU's supplied by MoTeC and other companies do not give teams any technical advantage over one another in the form of traction or boost control of which there is a restriction that can be changed during a season in the interests of parity.

On this episode of the NHRA Insider Jianna Evaristo joins host Brian Lohnes to talk about her final round appearance at the recent Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals and Tony Pedregon joins to talk about what will be a sweltering weekend at the PlayNHRA Virginia Nationals.    Evaristo rode one of the best races of her career in Bristol and it was the culmination of a lot of work, training, and adaptation to the V-Twin Buell motorcycle she is riding this season. The conversation has plenty of depth about the competition in Pro Stock Motorcycle, the internal nature of drag racing's mental game, and how Evaristo has been working for her success over the course of several seasons. This is a truly interesting trip through the story and the mind of a high-level competitor.    The story of the PlayNHRA Virginia Nationals is yet to be written but the prologue can be described as heat. Tony Pedregon and Brian Lohnes talk about the challenges, potential pitfalls, and keys to success in racing through conditions that will test the stamina of everyone on the property, no matter their role at the track.    A fast moving show that covers a lot of ground!

On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast re-minted full-time Pro Mod racer Lyle Barnett and top fuel Ace Justin Ashley join host Brian Lohnes to talk off-season moves, big expectations for 2024, and how, as individuals, they plan on making a measurable impact on the upcoming season.    Lyle Barnett had a whirlwind of an off-season. Initially tagged as the replacement driver for Leah Pruett, the situation changed and he was left without a ride. A single conversation with Pro Mod team owner Scott Tidwell placed him in the seat of a highly competitive car and one he will pilot all season long. Barnett talks about the team, why it is a good fit, and what he brings to the table in what promises to be a season for the doorslammer books.    Justin Ashley made waves when it was announced that his team would be part of the new SCAG factory mega-team that includes multiple Funny Car entries, a Top Fuel dragster, Pro Stock entries and more. Ashley talks about pre-season preparations, his approach to 2024, and why this SCAG Power Equipment team is set to take an already stable operation and kick it over the top.   Big energy here. Big talent here. Big fun here as well. Listen!

On this final 2023 episode of the NHRA Insider podcast, host Brian Lohnes talks to championship crew chief Alan Johnson who worked with a talented team to achieve a Top Fuel world championship with the Kalitta team. He talks about the building process, the end of the season run, and a lot about the inner workings of a top fuel drag racing team. It's a fascinating chat with one of the most decorated minds in drag racing history.    The other section of the show is a monologue wrap up of the 2023 season, some news and rumors that are still bubbling in the Pro Stock and Nitro Funny Car ranks and an outlook to the 2024 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series to come. A fun way to wrap up the season and get settled in for a short Christmas and holiday season break!
