NHRA Insider: Ron Capps and Multi-Time Sportsman World Champ Austin Williams Talk About Work and The Mental Part of The Sport

It is always good to get a little window into the mentality of a racer and the mindset of championship level competitors, right? For this episode of the NHRA Insider Podcast, I wronged NHRA nitro funny car champion Ron Capps and NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series multi-time champion Austin Williams to talk shop.

With Capps the conversation is about what it’s like to be iRacing with the biggest names in motorsports week in and week out, how he has been busting his ass to keep sponsors happy, engaged, and active, and with Austin it was about the mentality needed to be a championship level sportsman racer. Both guys love this activity like we all do and both of them speak from the heart. The dedication Capps has shown through his career to making sure sponsors are handled appropriately and successfully is nearly second to none. In times like these, his efforts do not go unnoticed.

Austin Williams had one of the most incredible victories in the history of the US Nationals last year. In stock eliminator, at 10:30pm on Monday night, he won the final round, a heads-up final, on a hole-shot with a perfect reaction time. We’re talking Hollywood script kind of stuff and this is a guy who has won national championships twice. We talk stock eliminator and sportsman racing in general.

A fun chat with two killer racers.
