McBrain is a huge fan of Tony Schumacher, Ron Capps, and, of course, DeJoria. He was thrilled to sit behind a 10,000-horsepower nitro burning engine for the pre-run engine warm-up. As thrilled as he was, so was DeJoria, who is huge fan of the band and music in general. She even mentioned she took her children to their first concert and as it should be it was Iron Maiden.
