It’s about time

For this week’s Daily Driver I wanted to read from my column that I pen for NHRA National Dragster called The Science of Winning. My latest contribution is titled It’s About Time and that is what I wanted to share today with you. 

Practice Makes… Better

ELITE Members know, the “off” season is a busy season! A big part of that within ELITE is our offseason practice league. In this episode I wanted to talk about my personal journey with the practice league and how it translated in 2024 and now into 2025 on the track. 

Strategic Flexibility with Mikie Sturgill

In this episode of the Daily Driver, I am joined by regular ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE guest instructor, former World NHRA Champion, multi-time division and track Champion, Mikie Sturgill.

This week, I want look at where do our responsibilities as a racer end and the responsibilities of the race track, race director, track operator, or race promotor begin.

The Responsibility of the Racer

I’ve been a racer for more than 30 years. In a perfect union, racer and race track work together in a sort of harmonious partnership. As a racer, what is our responsibility at the track?

How to balance the rear of my car with Mike Mans

This week’s Daily Driver episode is taken from our Question of the Week segment over on the ThisIsBracketRacing Facebook page. The question is “How to balance the rear of my car?”.

How experience molds our skill set with Kris Whitfield

For this episode of the Daily Driver, I am joined by one of our regular guest instructors in ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE and accomplished driver, Kris Whitfield. The question I asked him was how his experience and background with racing in his area of the country, one of the toughest to dial and run a consistent car in, has helped to shape his approach and progression as a driver.
