4.6 In With The Old

3.28 Of Pressure Cookers and Frying Pans

Feb 8, 2022

Tony Schumacher and Austin Prock join host Brian Lohnes on this
episode of the NHRA Insider podcast. The two returning top fuel
standouts have a lot to say about the 2022 season to be, the way
that their teams will attack pre-season testing in Phoenix, and
what it means to be back as sponsored drivers who know they have a
full season in front of them. 

 

The winningest driver in top fuel history is candid in his
remarks about his expectations for 2022 and he is definitely
motivated to show the world that his top fuel return is not simply
for his own entertainment. Schumacher talks about what it will take
to chase a championship, working with a new team and crew chief,
and the singular focus DSR will have on his top fuel car, a
potential benefit to him. 

Austin Prock had his career interrupted by Covid-19 and doubted
at times that he would ever drive again. In this frank discussion,
he talks about the downtimes, the work he put in as a crew member
of the JFR operation, the meaningful nature of his return, and how
he will make good on the promise we all saw out of him during his
rookie season in 2019.

In with the old brings two huge top fuel names back into the
fore as the NHRA season looms closely on the calendar!
