6.34 Champion Crew Chiefs Hines and Jim Oberhofer Talk Toyota US Nats Triumph

NHRA Insider Podcast

It was the race of races like it usually is and the winners certainly earned all of their accolades. On this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast, host Brian Lohnes is joined by Andrew Hines, crew chief for Indy winner Gaige Herrera in Pro Stock Motorcycle, and Top Fuel winning crew chief Jim Oberhofer who tunes Clay Millican's 330mph missile.

Along with an extended race recap to start the show, these two interview conversations are fascinating. Hines relates the struggles the team had in Sonoma, how they course corrected for Indy, and how the timing of a test session can really make a difference in racing conditions. The details shared here are awesome.

Jim O talks about his team, his personal trials and travails at the US Nationals and how this victory was the culmination of a lot of work for he, Nicky Boninfante, and the their entire race team. Jim is detailed and very emotionally invested in telling the story of his team, their win, and why they are not to be looked over when it comes to the final six races of the season.

This, like the race, is one to remember!
