Summary
NHRA Top Fuel rookie Maddi Gordon joins Corey LaJoie and Skip Flores to explain what 12,000 horsepower really feels like, how she earned her way in the shop, what Ron Capps saw in her, and how she once won a round with no shift lights, no two-step, and no data.
Corey and Skip also recap Nashville, SVG’s continued rise, Denny Hamlin’s move, O’Reilly racing, and why simple floors and big horsepower might be the answer.
