On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast, host Brian Lohnes is joined by his right hand man in the broadcast booth, Tony Pedregon and the two look critically at the upcoming NHRA Countdown to the Championship. Starting with this weekend's race at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading, Pennsylvania, they systematically go through the cars and drivers who are leading the conversation, who are potentially falling behind, and lastly, those that can spoil the party for the front runners. There's plenty of depth and insight here as the pair looks back over the season to observe trends, find out what lessons racers learned, and how those can be applied in this final dash for glory at the end of the season. Sit down, settle in, and prepare yourself for the Pep Boys Nationals. These guys will get you up to speed quicker than a top fuel dragster!
