Show notes
Ron Capps joins the show for a deep dive into his legendary drag racing career. He shares how Don Prudhomme helped shape his path, what it felt like to earn his first major win, and the emotions behind finally capturing the elusive U.S. Nationals trophy after 25 tries - and then doing it again the next year. Ron reflects on his 30 years behind the wheel, racing a recreation of Prudhomme’s iconic Hot Wheels car, and how it felt to win Indy in front of the man himself. We also talk about chasing John Force’s record, building Ron Capps Motorsports, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind on the world of drag racing!
