Nhra Insider Podcast

Jim Maroney and Brad Plourd join Brian Lohnes on this episode of the NHRA Insider podcast. Maroney is the Arizona based privateer top fuel team owner and racer who has had a steady climb up the ranks of drag racing competition and in business. He speaks with Lohnes about his career, his plans for the re-start of the NHRA season, and his take on the state of top fuel. Brad Plourd has won 21 NHRA Nationals events, he has won in 5 categories, he has won in cars he'd never driven before an event started, and he's delivered in a stocker as well as a blown alcohol competition eliminator machine. He truly is the McGruber of drag racing and can make any hot rod work in a pinch. Plourd talks racing, philosophy, success, and how he went from a weeknight runner in Seattle to one of the premier players in the game.
