On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast powered by Speedmaster, Tony Pedregon and Kevin McKenna join Brian Lohnes to talk all things about the Gerber Collision & Glass Route 66 NHRA Nationals presented by Peak. The guys go over each class of competition, talk about the teams that are struggling, and those who are on the rise. 

The weekend is also unique in that there are loads of independent nitro teams in both Funny Car and Top Fuel, which have the potential to upend the apple cart for the established full-time touring operations. The facility is one of the best on tour, and the action will be hot and heavy from qualifying session one all the way to Sunday afternoon. 

This is a great conversation and one that will have you fired up for the week's upcoming action!
