On this
episode of the NHRA Insider powered by Speedmaster, host
Brian Lohnes recaps an insane Lucas Oil Winternationals and
is then joined by Travis Shumake who will make his Top Fuel career
debut in Phoenix and Lyle Barnett who will make his Arizona drag
racing debut at the same event as the pro mods will be competing in
the desert for the first time.
Shumake has
been working for three years to achieve this moment. He has a one
car operation, has raised the funding himself, and has been
relentlessly working to secure sponsors and supporters all along
the way. He is a legacy racer who will make his debut at a track
his late father Tripp had much success on a local and national
event level through the years. It's a story of determination and
perseverance unique to him.
Lyle Barnett
the hard-nosed Pro Mod racer talks about his Gainesville race as
well as the excitement of hitting a new venue and facility along
with learning its challenges. The event has more than 20 of the
cars pre-entered and will of course feature a 16 car field so
qualifying will be a high drama exercise like it was in
Gainesville.
Two great
stories and two things to look forward to in Phoenix at Firebird
Motorsports Park!
