2024 Is On: The Insiders talk ownership news, passing of legends and more
On this first 2024 episode of the NHRA Insider podcast, host Brian Lohnes is joined by Tony Pedregon to talk about the news of the last couple of weeks, the passing of legends like Don Schumacher and Roland Leong, the wild news about JCM Racing, the new Scag factory drag racing team, and a whole lot more.
What is normally a quiet stretch of time between Christmas and New Year's Day was far busier than normal this year. Lohnes and Pedregon take time to reflect on the lives and careers of both the late owner and tuner Leong as well as the massive legacy left by the passing of Schumacher.
The two talk about the work being done in this earliest week of the new year by the teams who have officially kicked off preparations for the 2024 nhra Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season, what those preparations are, and how important getting new crew members acclimated is.
The most interesting part of the show delves into the announcements made by JCM Racing and Scag regarding wholesale changes of both sponsorship and ownership tied into multiple teams. This story will continue to develop and the insiders are here for it.
It's 2024 and the action is getting closer by the day, enjoy this episode!
