On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, host Brian Lohnes is joined by Chris King, the Chicago firefighter who has battled his way into the NHRA Funny Car ranks and will attempt to qualify with 20 other drivers in Norwalk. The conversation with King starts off with the wild story of him having to act to save his neighbor's life just before the interview and ranges through the growth, challenges, ups, downs, and memorable moments of funny car racing.
King is the second half of the show. A monologue style recap of the Virginia Nationals starts the show and host Lohnes goes into all of the classes, the controversial Top Fuel winner situation, and all the factors he learned about all of it.
This one will get you primed for the action this coming weekend in Norwalk!
