Kenny and Brandon Bernstein will be the Newsmakers of the Week on The Race Reporters radio show, Wednesday, May 5, 7 p.m. EDT, on www.PowerUpChannel.com.

Kenny is a six-time NHRA champion and, along with Gary Scelzi, is the only driver to win titles in both Top Fuel and Funny Car. He ended his career with 69 national wins and is a true Hall of Famer. He’ll forever be known as the first driver to make a 300 mph pass, in 1992.

Bernstein is also regarded as one of racing’s best businessmen, having fielded teams in Indy Car and NASCAR, plus a record 30-year sponsorship with Budweiser. He now owns the Top Fueler driven by son Brandon, with Copart sponsorship.
