On this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast powered by Speedmaster, Thomas Prock and Angie Smith join host Brian Lohnes to talk about their winning weekends at the first-ever NHRA Potomac Nationals presented by JEGS at Maryland International Raceway (MIR).

For Prock, this victory was the validation of a decision he and his family made to leave John Force Racing and take over the on-track operations at Tasca Racing. Prock details the process, the struggles, the highs, and the lows that have brought them back into winning form. This is a story of big brains and hard work.

Smith's win at MIR was historic, marking the 200th Professional-class female triumph, an amazing milestone. It was also as wild and hard-fought as any she has had before or ever will in the future. Listening to her tell the tale of Matt being hospitalized, deciding last minute to run the motorcycles, qualifying No. 1, and running the table on Sunday is astonishing.

A show you'll dig from end to end.
