In this episode of The Nerd Out series, let's look at what has changed for Stock Eliminator, Super Comp, and Super Gas from the Division 1 finale in Reading.
If you were an avid listener of the Sportsman Drag Racing Podcast, you know that Jed and I (OK, more me than Jed!) loved to "Nerd Out" this time of year and break down the NHRA Lucas Oil title chases. I still love the exercise (and a surprising number of you seem to concur), so I'm running it back! In maintaining the short form of the Daily Driver, I'm breaking down one points chase per episode. Today, we'll kick things off with a deep dive into Stock Eliminator!
Kyle Rizzoli is the 2023 Lucas Oil Stock Eliminator World champion. Kyle joins Joe Castello for a wide ranging interview about his championship season, his family's history in drag racing, and his 2024 title defense in the NHRA Lucas Oil Series. Get to know one of the NHRA's best Lucas Oil Series racers.
Jed joined Luke on the eve of the Labor Day $250k for this week's Sportsman Drag Racing Podcast. In it, we packed a ton of discussion about both the past week and a monstrous Labor Day weekend on the horizon: Brad Burton and Tyler Caheely made big strides toward a Super Stock national championship: are they on a collision course to battle for the title? A new title contender in Super Comp? Could a 16-second pickup truck be the weapon of choice in Stock Eliminator? A we ready to crown the next bottom bulb king? Bold predictions (sure to go wrong): Luke and Jed call our shots for the Labor Day $250k, and every sportsman winner at the Big Go!
