On this episode of the NHRA Insider powered by Speedmaster, host Brian Lohnes takes you through an incredible weekend in Seattle that not only challenged teams and drivers but also challenged the record books.

Conditions that were ideal for traction and horsepower delivered the fastest speed in Top Fuel history, multiple track records, and more. There were scary moments as well in terms of Shawn Reed's crash and Buddy Hull's foray into the gravel trap at the end of the strip.   

Lohnes goes over all of it here: winners, big moments, and takeaways that can be carried to Sonoma. If you think it will be any slower there, Lohnes has other thoughts, and he tells you why.
