4.8 A Quick Starter and A Come Backer

Justin Ashley and Bo Butner join Brian Lohnes on this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast. 

 

Ashley talks about his highly impressive start at the Lucas Oil Winternationals where he took home a national event victory over Austin Prock in the final round. The race may be a harbinger of things to come in top fuel where the competition is off the charts and will only get more difficult as the season goes on. Ashley talks about the race, the competition, his internal drive, and the need to stay up on the wheel for the whole season. 

 

Bo Butner is back into the world of NHRA pro stock full time and he's having a blast. With a sponsor who is one of the world's wildest car guys, the 2022 season is looking like it will be a great one for the former class champion. Bo talks about Pomona, Phoenix, the difference between bracket racing and pro stock, what his outlook is for the year, and the state of modern pro stock drag racing. 

 

Add in a monologue about Pomona off the top of the show and that's this episode of the Insider!
