On this
episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster host
Brian Lohnes is joined by JR Todd and Tony Stewart to discuss their
respective weekends at the Lucas Oil Nationals in Brainerd,
Minnesota as well as the upcoming Toyota US Nationals. These two
racers had two radically different experiences and they dive into
both.
For JR Todd it
was a weekend of explosive turmoil punctuated by the greatest pit
thrash in a decade. He takes us inside the madness of the repairs
that took place between the second and third rounds at Brainerd,
how the whole pit area seemed to come to the aid of his DHL team,
and the emotional highs and lows of this draining weekend. He also
explains some of the finer details that the cameras did not
catch.
Tony Stewart
ran career best numbers and has the best race car he has been in
all season. He talks about the long road to his final round in
Sonoma, the heartfelt message he shared with Antron Brown after
that race, how his team is equipped for the US Nationals, and the
similarities and differences he is experiencing in Top Fuel as
opposed to his NASCAR and IndyCar experiences.
A banger of a
show from end to end!
