NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast, Tony Pedregon and Todd Veney join host Brian Lohnes to talk about the major stories and trends coming out of the Gerber Collision & Glass Route 66 NHRA Nationals presented by Peak Performance and to preview the weekend ahead at New England Dragway. The event this weekend is unique as it centers around Top Fuel and nitro Funny Car with the Pro Modified class also a showcase during the event. 

The three touch on some really interesting topics like how talent is recognized and snatched up the ranks in drag racing, why smaller teams don't take more advantage of races like Epping where they'd get more attention and have a better shot to win, the effect of the Indy 500 weekend on racing across America, and the seemingly instant turn of performance for Tony Schumacher's car during testing post-Chicago. All this and a whole lot more on this week's Clam Chowder powered NHRA Insider!
