National Dragster’s Phil Burgess and NHRA on Fox analyst Tony
Pedregon join host Brian Lohnes on this final episode of the
off-season before the 2022 NHRA Winternationals. The triumvirate
talk about the major stories of the winter, one of which is how
many major stories there have been this winter! From the wild
performance of John Force at the pre-season test to the emergence
of new team owners, the emergence of new teams, the notable drivers
coming back, and a whole lot more, there’s so much to talk about
it’s hard to keep all the storylines straight.
Pedregon digs in from the owner and driver perspectives to talk
about the level of competition that the biggest names in the sport
will have to confront. In top fuel, it is nearly unrivaled in
modern drag racing history and early stumbles will not bode well
for long-term season success. In funny car it is more of the same
and TPed breaks down all of it for the audience.
Phil Burgess brings his years of NHRA experience to bear in this
conversation and takes an in-depth look at the major headlines
leading to Pomona. From the looks of the pro stock rank and file to
the large contingent of funny car racers, top fuel insanity, and
more, Burgess has the stories. There is also a chat about the state
of media in drag racing and how teams are amping up their efforts
to create interesting and cool content that fans both new and old
love.
A HUGE episode before a HUGE race!
