J.R. Todd joined NHRA reporter Lewis Bloom via Skype in the Wally Parks NHRA Studio delivered by Papa John’s to talk about his stunning win at the 63rd annual Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals in Funny Car. 

Todd spoke about what his life has been like since his final-round win against Ron Capps, where he became the 31st driver to win the Funny Car class at the “Big Go.” Todd spoke also about his lucky round-win over Tim Wilkerson, who hit the foam blocks, and his race against fellow first-time Indy finalist Capps. 

Finally, the two spoke about the upcoming Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship, which Todd will enter as the No. 8 seed.
