On this
episode of the NHRA Insider podcast, Jonnie Lindberg and Leah
Pruett join host Brian Lohnes to talk about their pre-season
testing successes and what’s coming for Gainesville, which could be
a watershed weekend for both of them.
For Jonnie
Lindberg, he has the shot of a lifetime as a young crew chief.
Working along side John Medlen in tuning Paul Lee’s funny car, he
gets to call from his own experience and that of a man who has been
tuning longer than he has been alive. Lindberg talks about the
process of tuning the car, the string of 3.80s runs it made in
Bradenton testing, the process of learning from Medlen, and the
various aspects of his own life and career that will contribute to
his success in this large role. It’s insightful and a great window
into the challenges and exciting things facing a motivated and
talented young mind in the sport.
Leah Pruett is
preparing for one of the wildest weekends of her drag racing career
in Gainesville…maybe. She will race in the Pep Boys All-Star
Call-Out…maybe. In this interview, Pruett reveals the
unprecedented plan she and her team have hatched for Gainesville.
Qualifying her husband on Friday and then concentrating on her
efforts on Saturday with potentially both cars running on Sunday is
something we have never heard of anyone else doing. She tells all
here.
This is one
heck of a show!
