Chasing Speed on VICE network tonite (3 Viewers)

I'm pretty sure or at least I think I am that anyone who has any interest in motorsports could and would find it.

Regarding the Erica interview, I've always been curious who is the competitor that told Erica, she would never win another championship? Her biggest rival has always been Greg Anderson, however he doesn't strike me as the type that would go out on the limb and say that

It sounds a little like something Tanner Gray would say.

OP-ED: Chasing Speed and the Moment NHRA Finally Bet on its People | Drag Illustrated

For as long as I’ve had a front-row seat to this sport - for as long as I’ve watched drag racing try to claw its way into the modern attention economy with one hand tied behind its back - I’ve been saying the same thing like a broken record: we don’t have a racing problem.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I thought the same thing. I really enjoyed seeing what made Alexander tick. I enjoyed seeing how hectic Leah’s life was with balancing a baby, and packing for the long hauls. Seeing Tony Stewart’s house and all the cars hems kept. Seeing Leah’s dragster that broke in half. It made me feel connected somewhat. Like I knew them better. And then you see Jasmine and Ida fighting for every chance they can get to run full time. If I was wealthy and had a business, I 100% would be interested in them being my spokesperson solely based on their dedication.

I have loved this whole series. The John Force/Prock segment really hit me hard. Whatever all this cost the NHRA, it was worth every penny. And they need to build on it. I have two teenage daughters and they just love any female driver. They just relate to them so easily.

I have watched eps. 2 and 3 (ep.1 playing hard to get). YouTube doesn't carry Chasing Speed here in Britain, for reasons unknown, but I switch my VPN to USA and that works. It's a good show, especially with the female racers. There is a fresh new market waiting out there, if only it can be accessed.

The biggest hurdle for NHRA to overcome was highlighted in a Camrie Caruso interview a year ago which I mentioned in another thread (apologies). Asked about her search for sponsorship, she said what had struck her most was how many people she'd approached had never heard of drag racing.
