The Insiders recap Epping and talk about a smooth new Bristol surface
On this episode of the NHRA Insider powered by Speedmaster, host Brian Lohnes is joined by Tony Pedregon and NHRA National Dragster's Kevin McKenna to talk about the amazing 2024 NHRA New England Nationals and look forward to this weekend's Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway.
The Epping race was an action-packed contest with sold-out crowds two out of the three days and great qualifying. The guys talk about the track, its unique fanbase, the action over the course of the three days, and more. They key in on John Force and what it means to see him as a front-running competitor in the class for the first time in years, the colossal strength of the Kalitta Motorsports team, the Pro Stock battles that were waged, and more.
The Bristol conversation involves Pro Stock Motorcycle, the freshly repaved track surface at Bristol Dragway, how teams will learn and adapt to a less character-filled surface, and the seemingly perfect forecast.
Great insight and a fast-moving chat with two guys who know!
