On this episode of the NHRA Insider powered by Speedmaster, Seattle Funny Car winner J.R. Todd joins the show to tell the inside story of how his team overcame some potentially crippling issues to win the Muckleshoot Casino Resort NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways.

Todd talks about his season, how the team has been evolving their performance, and how he feels they are a legitimate championship contender. Only a couple of rounds out of first place, these guys have a regular-season championship to contend for, a call out to race in Indy, and potentially a world championship run on the horizon.

All that and an extended monologue on this week's show.
