On this quick turnaround episode of the NHRA Insider podcast, host Brian Lohnes is joined by Tony Pedregon to talk about the pure madness of the Topeka weekend and what can be expected out of the teams competing at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals this weekend.Ìý

The two delve into the results of Topeka and talk about the rise of Erica Enders in the points and in her personal performance, how the Justin Ashley team looks eerily similar to Steve Torrence in his prime, and why Bob Tasca III's 3.885 final-round blast in Funny Car may be one of the greatest runs of the year.Ìý

There's lots of talk about how people are approaching this near end of the regular season, the language used by struggling teams who perhaps claim to be "testing," and lastly how true championship contenders are going to rapidly accelerate away from the pretenders at this time of the year.Ìý

A spicy chat about the current competition!Ìý
