3.33 Counting Down to Championship Success

3.28 Of Pressure Cookers and Frying Pans

Sep 7, 2021

Erica Enders and Cruz Pedregon join host Brian Lohnes on this
episode of the NHRA Insider podcast. The conversations are
wide-ranging and cover not only the success of both drivers on the
track but also the pressures and hidden work that’s done away from
the track to win on Sunday. Cruz Pedregon is entering the 2021 NHRA
Countdown to the Championship with the best car and team he has had
in years. The conversation carries through many elements of the
2021 season like how the team has gelled, how Cruz has adapted
himself to serving as a dedicated owner and driver, and how he sees
driving a nitro funny car as an “old school” competitor. Fun,
honest stuff here! Erica Enders scooped up her second US Nationals
win in a row last weekend and is riding a strong wave of
performance into the countdown. Her race day on Sunday was not
“typical Erica” but it was strong enough to earn her another US
Nationals win in her third straight final round at the event.
Again, the conversation goes into great depths on the mental side
of competition and what’s ahead in the Countdown!
