Daily Driver

Each Friday, we post a featured Question of the Week on the ThisIsBracketRacing Facebook page. This week, we're giving YOU, the Daily Driver listener an early look, releasing the Question of the Week here two days in advance!

We asked Mikie the obvious question: what's one thing about that experience that you could not possibly fully prepare for?

You'd be hard pressed to find any driver in sportsman drag racing who has staged for more high-stakes rounds in pressure situations than Kris Whitfield. He's been in the final round of multiple big dollar bracket races - including the Spring Fling Million. He's won multiple division titles, and has competed down the stretch for national championships. He's won twenty-two (that's not a typo)... Twenty-two track championships! In today's Daily Driver, Kris talks about how he tries to approach those pressure packed rounds.
