NHRA Insider podcast: Coming Up On The Long Side of Short
Ìý
Matt Smith and J.R.Todd join Brian Lohnes on this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast to talk about their respective weekends in Bristol at the Thunder Valley Nationals and to chat about the last two races of the season. Both men are in strong championship position with Smith leading the Pro Stock Motorcycle category into Las Vegas and Todd launching himself into third place in Funny Car on the strength of his Bristol race day.Ìý
For Smith, the conversation revolves around consistency, not beating himself, and letting the world know that wife Angie will be back on her motorcycle to defend her win last year at what was the season-closing event. He talks about buying a Suzuki, building a Suzuki, and having his options open for 2022 as to what he plans on riding. Interesting stuff!
Todd talks about coming away from a Bristol Sunday one round short of a win but far stronger in points and confidence. After struggling in qualifying, Todd and his DHL Toyota Camry crew mowed down the likes of John Force, Matt Hagan, and Ron Capps in eliminations before drawing the short straw against Alexis DeJoria in the final round. An interesting conversation with a reenergized former champion.
