On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast powered by Speedmaster, host Brian Lohnes is joined by Christie Meyer Johnson, general manager and co-owner of the Texas Motorplex, as well as NHRA on FOX's Tony Pedregon. 

The first half of the show involves a great conversation with Meyer Johnson regarding the evolution of the Stampede of Speed, how it has revitalized the Texas Motorplex and how the event has grown from its beginnings in 2021. A week unlike any other on the tour, the inside perspective of the work and dedication to make the Stampede what it is today is amazing. 

Pedregon joins the show and along with Lohnes lays out the scenarios and potentialities of the weekend. The two go down a couple of rabbit holes of hot takes regarding different cars, different approaches drivers take, and how the emergence of tension, anger, and personality could help grow the sport. 

This is one you do not want to miss.
