6.16 The NHRA Insiders ON FIRE Before Charlotte 4-Wide

Oct 22, 2024

On this
episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, Funny
Car points leader Austin Prock and NHRA Rookie of the Year
candidate Ida Zetterstrom join host Brian Lohnes to talk about
their respective seasons at drag racing’s pinnacle. The two
youthful stars have different goals this year but they are both
chasing the dreams they have held since childhood. 

 

For Austin
Prock, the odds-on favorite for the 2024 NHRA Funny Car
championship, it’s been a season of incredible highs and some
abrupt lows like the one that stopped his Cornwell Quality Tools
Chevrolet Camaro in Dallas. Prock talks about the year, about the
mistake that ended his race day, some interesting stories about his
very early career, and how the team plans to attack over the next
two events of 2024. A fascinating chat about goals, attitude,
performance, and how it all ties together. 

 

Rookie NHRA
Top Fuel racer Ida Zetterstrom burst onto the scene with an upset
holeshot win against Steve Torrence in Brainerd and has been making
waves ever since. A tireless spokeswoman for the NHRA, her career,
and the sport of drag racing globally, she walks us through her
breakneck schedule that has carried her back and forth to Europe
all season long. The ups and downs of her rookie experience are
front and center as well.
