This week, he welcomed NHRA Lead Announcer Brian Lohnes to tell Luke why he’s wrong about his prediction that there wouldn’t be a traditional NHRA national in 2020.  In addition to providing some optimism for the proposed NHRA season, Brian weighed in with thoughts about some on-track activity as tracks in some areas of the country begin to open up.  The duo closed with both grease monkey and nerdy bookworm fun as well – a little something for everyone!
