NHRA - National Hot Rod Association

On this 2026 kick-off episode of the NHRA Insider powered by Speedmaster, NHRA on FOX's Tony Pedregon and NHRA National Dragster editor Phil Burgess talk about the offseason craziness, rumors, a new mystery dragster on the way to Top Fuel, 75th anniversary content and celebrations, and more with Brian Lohnes.

In the first half of the show, Pedregon and Lohnes dive into the wildness of the offseason, the personnel changes, who won, who lost, and who is in a better position than they were last year. They talk about the offseason work, the importance of adapting to new tracks, and how some new crew chief pairings are perhaps a little strange but potentially great.

International Drag Racing Hall of Fame member and NHRA Editorial Director Burgess joins the show as the second guest. He and Lohnes visit some of the same offseason content and then they dive into the incredible array of 75th anniversary content Burgess and his people have been working on and are releasing.

This season is going to rock, and this show will get you fired up for it!
