Daily Driver

The NERD OUT continues, and today I’m turning my attention to Super Gas, a category that has delivered some incredible championship drama in recent years.
Nathan Vrooman has built a sizable lead, but in Super Gas, 612 points is far from a guarantee. I’m breaking down his path to the title, why Bo Butner and Phil Unruh still have plenty of opportunity, and how Jordan Pratt has quickly raced his way into the championship conversation.
The schedule is getting shorter, the opportunities are disappearing, and I believe our 2026 Super Gas World Champion comes from this group of four. Let’s nerd out on how it could all unfold.

The NERD OUT continues, and this time I’m breaking down the Super Comp championship chase. With the 2026 Lucas Oil season heading into the home stretch, the points picture is getting interesting and changing quickly.
I’m taking a closer look at Trey Vetter’s position at the top, the paths that Phil Unruh and Jordan Pratt have to challenge him, and why Zach Mazir is my long shot worth watching. There are still points on the table, races to be run, and plenty of scenarios that could shake things up before this championship is decided.

Today’s episode of The Daily Driver is dedicated to the memory of Larry Croft. We take a moment to honor his life, remember the impact he made, and reflect on the legacy he leaves behind within the racing community. This one is for Larry.

The NERD OUT rolls on, and this time I’m diving into the Super Stock championship chase. With the Lucas Oil season winding down, I’m looking at the battle from three different perspectives: the current leader, a top contender, and a long shot who still has a path to the championship.
There’s still plenty of racing left and plenty of ways this thing can play out. Let’s dig into the points, the possibilities, and what each of these racers needs to make a run at the title.

It’s that time of year again...The NERD OUT is back! With the NHRA season entering its final stretch, I'm deep diving into the championship picture across the Lucas Oil categories.
First up: Competition Eliminator. Who’s in the hunt? What does the path to a championship look like? And which races, points opportunities, and potential scenarios could shape the final two months of the season? It’s time to nerd out on the Comp Eliminator championship chase.
