NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

On this episode of the NHRA Insider, Jiana 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. Pedregon and 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!
