On this three-wide episode of the NHRA Insider podcast powered by Speedmaster dropped on Charlotte NHRA 4-Wide Nationals week, host Brian Lohnes is joined by Tony Pedregon, Kevin McKenna, and Matt Hagan.

Pedregon and McKenna join first to look back on an epic Pomona race day and then look forward at the names and news makers that will be attacking this four-wide format in Charlotte for the only time this season. The discussion ranges from paid drivers looking like professionals, the return of Pro Stock Motorcycles, another potential KB runaway Pro Stock season, and more.

Hagan joins the show next for a rollicking conversation that looks over not only his Pomona win, but the strength of his established team that is already in a championship form. Hagan covers lots of ground here, has interesting takes, and delivers on his larger-than-life personality.

A big show leading into a big two-race stretch for the NHRA!
