Newly crowned NHRA Funny Car champion Matt Hagan joins the show today to discuss his third world title and the many reasons why it meant so much. Hagan also shares his thoughts on how the NHRA schedule shook out because of the pandemic; doing a longer burnout when realizing he won the championship and what it’s like not to be involved in the championship-deciding moment; capping off his season with one final win; what made this year so challenging; DSR pulling off the impressive feat of going 1-2-3-4 in points; how the organization won 14 straight races; when everyone realized a streak had begun and what that mentally was like; what the relationship is like between the four Funny Car drivers; having Camping World unexpectedly and quickly step up to sponsor the NHRA; Hagan’s plans for what could be an unusually long offseason. Music created by Tony Monge.
