This is what I love about November every year. This past weekend was absolutely captivating. Today's episode of the Daily Driver is dedicated to Justin Lamb, who came into the event knowing he had to do one thing: win the race. Nothing less would do. And boy did he show out! 

On today's episode of the Daily Driver, we're talking about lane discrepancies and how you can use them to your advantage. 

Jimmy Hidalgo, Jr. is the favorite in Super Stock... but it's not over! Kris Whitfield is the favorite in SC... but it's not over! JJ Brock is the favorite in SG... but it's FAR from over! Luke does his best to break down all the scenarios (and even gives some odds) in today's Daily Driver!

As we come into the final two weeks of the season, only the Stock Eliminator and TAFC titles have been determined. Today, Luke breaks down the favorites and contenders in the "fast" classes: Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, and Competition Eliminator!

Only two events remain in the 2025 NHRA Lucas Oil season! In this episode of Daily Driver, I'm recapping all the action from Las Vegas, a weekend that favored the points leaders. No lead changes this time, which is something you don't see often this late in the year. 

In this episode of Daily Driver, we're diving into the “nothing to lose” mindset. I've learned over the years that when I race with that mindset, I perform at my best. The real challenge? Figuring out how to tap into that mindset consistently. 

In this episode of The Nerd Out, fair warning, it's going to run longer than 10 minutes, we're diving into the incredible drama of Super Gas. Over the past three seasons, the chase has come down to Pomona, and it feels like destiny is leading us right back there again. As we head into this weekend, 11 drivers remain mathematically in the hunt for the world championship and all 11 are entered in the West Coast races. 

Today, we're resetting the stage in the 8.90 Super Comp category as we head into the final three weeks of the season. It's fair to say the 2025 season has been all about one man, Kris Whitfield. But there's a twist... he waived two events that he actually went on to win. Because of that, the championship isn't quite locked up just yet.

Short of Super Gas, the Super Stock title race may be the most compelling. Reigning champ Jimmy Hidalgo, Jr. is the leader in the clubhouse with what "should" be a fairly comfortable lead... But his two closest contenders have combined for NINE NHRA World Championships!

Over the next week I'm going to try my best to set the stage for the remaining 3 weeks of the season. Today I'm focusing on the Stock and Comp classes. 

Continuing on with the Nerd Out series and this week I'm turning the spotlight back on Top Dragster. 

The Nerd Out series is back, and it's getting way too juicy to cram multiple classes into a single weekly episode. So, we're switching gears. From now on, each episode will focus on just one class at a time, with multiple episodes dropping every week.This episode? It's all about Stock Eliminator. Let's nerd out!

It's that time of year again... time to Nerd Out! Today I wanted to take a bird's eye view on a few classes that I don't think will be too impacted by the trio of upcoming divisional races this coming weekend.   

From time to time on The Daily Driver, I like to share pieces from my column The Science of Winning featured in NHRA's National Dragster magazine. This week I am sharing The Jr Dragster Experience. 

On this episode of The Daily Driver, we're joined by none other than Mikie Sturgill, former NHRA World Champion, multi-time track champion, and multi-time divisional champion. A highly respected figure in the sportsman drag racing world and a guest instructor with ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE, Mikie brings a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience to the mic. So I had to ask him the burning question, why the switch from a dragster to a door car? 

 From time to time here on The Daily Driver, I like to share a piece from my column in The Science of Winning, featured in NHRA's National Dragster. Today, I'm bringing you one titled ‘Where I Come From'.

On this week's episode of the Daily Driver, I am joined by one of our regular guest instructors in ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE Matt Dadas to talk about his ability to adapt, evolve, and drive multiple classes. 

In this episode, Paul is joined by SFG's new advisor Lance Chisum for a candid review of a Dave Ramsey video on housing and post-divorce financial decisions. Together, they unpack the caller's circumstances, substantial home equity, low-rate mortgage, and the possibility of a HELOC, while questioning whether Ramsey's quick advice fully addresses the bigger financial picture. Paul and Lance highlight what's missing: tax planning opportunities, liquidity strategies, retirement contributions, and vital insurance protection. They also explore the emotional side of money, from staying in a home for sentimental reasons to making choices influenced by future relationships. Drawing on Lance's decades of experience, the discussion contrasts the limitations of financial “counseling” with the depth of true financial advising. The episode ultimately underscores why tailored, goal-focused advice matters far more than one-size-fits-all solutions. -- Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction: reviewing a Dave Ramsey video 01:40 – Mortgage, equity & HELOC breakdown 03:40 – Debt redeployment and emotional decisions 06:10 – Where Ramsey's advice falls short 08:00 – Divorce, remarriage & housing considerations 09:50 – Tax exclusions & planning opportunities 12:10 – Overlooked factors: retirement & insurance  4:30 – Financial counseling vs. real financial advising -- This Material is Intended for General Public Use.

This week's episode is taken from our segment over on the ThisIsBracketRacing Facebook page called Question of the Week. Each Friday we answer a question submitted from racers from all over. Submit your questions over at thisisbracketracing.com/ask. This is a common question that comes up a lot about what helmet shield do you recommend?
