    7.31 Alan Johnson and Kyle Satenstein Talk Top Fuel Championships and Debuts

    On this Top Fuel centric episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast presented by Speedmaster, all-time great crew chief Alan Johnson and NHRA rookie Top Fuel driver Kyle Satenstein join host Brian Lohnes. The two guys are on wildly different ends of their Top Fuel lives but both bring fascinating perspective to the conversation.    For Alan Johnson the conversation takes us through this season and the approach that has placed the team in the thick of a championship run yet again. It moves through Johnson's history in the sport, his evolving approach to Top Fuel racing, and the sometimes invisible elements that make good teams into great ones. His insights into the more hidden corners of the crew chief role are fascinating.    Kyle Satenstein is a racer through and through. Coming from the world of small tire and grudge racing, his path to Top Fuel racing is both interesting and unexpected. Sporting one of the most unique sponsors in the class and the attitude of a successful and hardcore racer, he had a heck of a weekend in Brainerd. The small team nearly pulled off the upset of the race in round one and you'll  hear him tell the whole story.    Two very different men in very different places with the singular passion of NHRA Top Fuel drag racing. Enjoy the conversations.

    7.28 Gears, Guts, and Heart: Gadson and Stanfield Talk Sonoma Wins

    On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast powered by Speedmaster, Richard Gadson and Greg Stanfield join host Brian Lohnes to talk about their awesome victories at the NHRA Denso Sonoma Nationals last weekend. Both guys have been in peak form for several races and both had to really bushwack their way to the winner's circle.    For Richard Gadson a -.001 red light on Saturday in the Pro Stock Motorcycle Call-Out final was frustrating but valuable motivation for his work on Sunday. Leveraging the disappointment of that moment into the race day success he earned is a really fascinating process to listen to.    Greg Standfield won his first Pro Stock race in more than a decade by taking on his own son in the final round. A moment generations in the making for the duo, it was a race to the stripe with all the awesome tightness we have come to expect out of the category. Stanfield relives it all.    Those interviews, an Insider monologue, and more. This is an episode  you'll love
