Don’t sleep on the ladies of NHRA — some of the baddest drivers out there

Been going to NHRA events for years, and I gotta say… if you still think drag racing is some old boys’ club, you’re living under a rock. These women flat-out RACE. Watching Brittany Force chase down a 3.6-second run in Top Fuel, or Erica Enders absolutely mop the field in Pro Stock — it’s the real deal. No gimmicks, no token entries, they’re out there winning championships on merit. Last year at Charlotte I stood by a dad hoisting his daughter up on his shoulders, pointing down the track and saying, “That’s Brittany. Girls can drive Top Fuel too.” Thought that was the coolest damn moment. And it’s not just the drivers. Half the tuners, clutch techs, even marketing crew hustling in the pits are women. NHRA feels miles ahead of a lot of other series in this respect. So here’s to the ladies turning wrenches, pulling holeshots, and running quicker 60-foots than most dudes could dream of. The future looks pretty badass. #NHRA #GirlsPower #Women #TopFuel #RacingFamily

Turns Out, It’s Not About NASCAR or IndyCar — It’s About Us

Me and my teen watched another Indy race documentary. My son was glued to every pass. I caught myself less focused on which series was “better,” and more on him — his grin when a car dove three-wide into turn one, how he elbowed me in disbelief during a pit blunder. That’s when it clicked. My dad didn’t drag me to NASCAR races for the decals or the crashes. He did it because it was time together, shoulder to shoulder, letting engines drown out life’s worries. So if my kid loves IndyCar more? Fine by me. The magic isn’t under the hood — it’s in the moments we share. Watching him live what I once did, just in his own way, feels like coming full circle. Maybe that’s the real victory lane. #Parenting #RacingFamily #IndyCar #NASCAR #FullCircle #Parenting
