NHRA Insider Podcast: 4.19 The High Performers

3.28 Of Pressure Cookers and Frying Pans

May 10, 2022

This episode of the NHRA Insider brings
two of the NHRA high performers together for a discussion about pro
stock motorcycle and top fuel, not just in 2022 but over the last
few seasons. The stories of Matt Smith and Justin Ashley are
decidedly different in 2022 but their end goal remains the same, a
world championship. 

 

Matt Smith talks about the recent NHRA
rules changes in pro stock motorcycle, performance in the class,
parity, riders on the rise, and how his own program is evolving
with Angie, Matt, and the Scrappers Racing motorcycles as well. He
talks about the recent war of words and performance with Steve
Johnson and what he sees as good for the class and not so good for
the class when it comes to rivalries. 

 

Justin Ashley is all about winning,
growth, and forward advancement in top fuel. The discussion ranges
from his strong start in 2022 and the subtle changes in his team
and program over the last few seasons. Why is this all working?
Who’s bringing the most to the table? How’s his team playing the
long game of parts, performance, and sustained success in 2022? He
talks about all of it here. 

 

Two very different racers, both chasing
top-level success in NHRA Camping World Drag Racing!
