5.18 Chi-Town Hustlin’ - The Rt 66 Nationals Pre-Race Show

On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast, Tony Pedregon and NHRAonFox pit producer Todd Veney join host Brian Lohnes to talk all things about the upcoming Gerber Collision and Glass Rt 66 Nationals in Joliet, Illinois. This is the first time the NHRA has raced at the venue since 2019, and expectations are high for the great event. 

 

The conversation works class by class through the race. Which competitors are in positions of power, which need to better their fortunes, and which may want to start smashing the panic button with a sledgehammer. The first ever All-Star Pro Stock Call Out is broken down and discussed, possible pairings are bandied about, and the class and competitors analyzed. 

 

Finally, the guys break down the freakish points situation top fuel where, after five races, two of the top three have not won any of them! 

 

Fun perspective to get you revved up about this weekend!
