Funny Car, The Next Generation: Welcome Daniel Wilkerson and Austin Prock
If the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series offseason comes in waves, consider this the second one, and it's the central focus of this episode of the NHRA Insider.
Host Brian Lohnes has Daniel Wilkerson, the newly minted driver of the Scag Power Equipment Ford Mustang, and Austin Prock, the even-newer named driver of the Cornwell Tools/AAA/John Force Racing Chevrolet Camaro, on as guests.
Both guys will be fresh to the Funny Car category as full-time competitors, both will be tuned by their fathers, and both are high-energy, entertaining, dynamic personalities. This show radiates the energy you'd expect from two lifelong lovers of drag racing who were both surprised at the turns their respective careers took for 2024.
Lots of interesting conversation here from the approach of a driver with a handful of races under his belt to the approach of a seasoned and fun-loving Top Fuel driver getting in one of the greatest Funny Cars on the planet.
Nonstop fun here, some teasers on upcoming news, some other stuff revealed, and more!
