5.15 The Big Three Talk Southern Fried 4-Wide

Apr 25, 2023

On this race
week episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast, National Dragster Sr.
Editor Kevin McKenna and NHRAonFOX analyst Tony Pedregon join Brian
Lohnes to talk all things Circle K NHRA Charlotte 4-Wide Nationals.
The guys talk about the news of Bandimere’s impending closure, the
Pro Stock Motorcycle downtime and who made the best of it, starting
line/staging espionage, and the questionable forecast for this
weekend’s race to start with. 

Leading into
the race discussion, the group talks about racers like Antron
Brown, the complexity of operating the near double-digit Elite
Motorsports Pro Stock team, Matt Hagan’s dominating funny car
performances thus far, and why the NHRA needs to embrace a power
ranking system like other sports have. 

This one goes
deep into some interesting subjects. There’s some laughs, some
debates, and some hot fire spit by this panel on all the above
topics. In other words, it’s another must-listen trip inside the
world of NHRA Camping World Drag Racing!
