On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast powered by Speedmaster, Tony Pedregon and Kevin McKenna join host Brian Lohnes for a rip-roaring conversation that covers a lot of ground in the world of NHRA Drag Racing. 

The group talks a lot about Gainesville, what was learned, and maybe what is yet to be learned from premier teams in 2025. They also talk about the reverberations of Bob Tasca III's Gainesville interview, how it has prompted discussions across media and motorsports, reactions to the Gatornationals, Robert Hight's retirement from John Force Racing, the PlayNHRA odds coming into Phoenix, and a whole lot more. 

This is a high-octane, high-intensity episode that will have you picking a side for sure. The desert battleground of Firebird Motorsports Park will be the scene of the action this weekend, but before you get there, this battle of the airwaves will get you pumped up!
