  • Take a look behind-the-scenes at our @nhra #4WideNats weekend in Charlotte. I finished runner-up in the McPhillips Racing Mobil 1 Top Alcohol Dragster and my teammate Mike Coughlin brought home the Wally.

    I've been watching you since you entered NASCAR and now I get to watch you in my favorite sport of drag racing it's so awesome to watch you come into something you know nothing about and learn from the bottom up you are a one in a lifetime driver there is no denying it.
    GO GET EM SMOKE!!!!!!!

    I grew up racing Leah in Jr dragsters 20+ yrs ago.. they would travel from Cali all the way to the east coast to run our series (because we were so far ahead of the west coast programs) and she was badd fast back then!
    We ran each other in the finals a Bunch of times... she was TOUGH!

    My dad lost his leg after a period of multiple heart surgeries. That "one legged man" joke was one of his favorite jokes. He was a big Earnhardt Sr fan and I was always a Kulwicki and Petty fan. We both spent a period of time not really having anyone in NASCAR to root for and then we both agreed we were Stewart fans. He would have loved to see this!

    Very few people understand how much work it is to run a drag car. The team knows every part of the car and how many runs are on each one. The stress is incredible and the work is very hard. As a driver you feel a little spoiled. It takes so much work to get down the track and only one person gets to really feel the speed. Great video. It really gives a look into why people give their lives to drag racing. I saw an Aston Martin F1 fan in there too!!! You people got class!! 😆
