This week’s episode of Nitro Rewind will preview the 42nd annual SuperNationals on the NHRA YouTube channel. The show, an internet based broadcast, is hosted by Bill Stephens and features interviews from Top Fuel and Funny Car NHRA competitors as they look ahead to Englishtown and review Topeka’s national event.

“I can’t believe it has taken four shows but my dad, John Force, makes his Nitro Rewind debut in this episode. He is so excited about going to Englishtown which is the race closest to Castrol our long-time sponsor,” said Ashley Force Hood, John Force Entertainment president. “We also caught up again with Cruz (Pedregon) and Terry (McMillen) again which is always interesting.”

Nitro Rewind brought some winner’s luck to Top Fuel driver Spencer Massey as he makes a double appearance talking about Englishtown and then as the Topeka race winner. Robert Hight also talks about the special meaning of getting JFR’s 200th Funny Car win. Cruz Pedregon and Terry McMillen talk about the importance of the SuperNationals both for exposure on the East Coast and getting ready for the Countdown. Finally Tony Schumacher talks with the Nitro Rewind team about making the NHRA produced DVD “Decade of Dominance” and what that experience was like.

The sounds, action and smells from the Bakersfield March Meet are long gone but the memories are still fresh in our minds.

Drag racer Tommy Arthur of Greensboro, N.C. was the picture of health until his kidneys began to shut down because of IgA kidney disease. Now he's in a race - not for his life - but to tell as many people as he can about getting their kidneys checked by a doctor and the need for organ donors.

In this special video from the University of North Carolina Health Center, Arthur discusses how he’s using the drag racing platform to bring kidney disease awareness to a demographic known for their tendency to put most everything ahead of getting the proper check-ups.

NAPA Funny Car Driver Ron Capps is a huge music fan. In this Full Throttle TV Friday at CompetitionPlus.tv, Capps give fans a taste of what he's rocking out to when he's not driving a nitro funny car going Full Throttle.
