Travis Shumake’s Hometown Return — From Top Fuel to Nostalgia Funny Car

This week on Episode 116, we sit down with NHRA driver Travis Shumake as he prepares for a special hometown return at Firebird Motorsports Park during the NHRA Arizona Nationals. One year after clocking 330.88 mph in Top Fuel, Shumake will take on a new challenge behind the wheel of Dave Benjamin’s Nostalgia Funny Car, backed by Fry’s Food Stores. We also discuss the emotional significance of the moment as the NHRA prepares to honor his late father, Tripp Shumake, during the upcoming 1,000th Funny Car race at the Winternationals.
