Hull, joined by his wife Madi, experienced a behind-the-scenes look at the NASCAR Cup Series, beginning with an exclusive tour of the media center before heading to pit road. The highlight of the afternoon came as Hull watched the race from the pit box of Austin Cindric, driver of the No. 2 Ford for Team Penske.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an incredible experience from start to finish,\u201d said Hull. \u201cI\u2019m really thankful to Ford Racing for having Madi and me out here today. Getting to see how another form of motorsport operates at this level is something I\u2019ll always appreciate.\u201d
\u00a0
In addition to the race-day action, Hull spent time in the NASCAR Fuel for Hospitality area and had an in-depth conversation with Ford Racing engineer Thomas Ciccone. The discussion centered around the extensive data and technology that drive performance in the NASCAR Cup Series.

\u201cAs a driver and team owner, I\u2019m always interested in the technical side of racing,\u201d said Hull. \u201cTalking with Thomas about the data, the strategy and everything that goes into making these cars competitive was fascinating. There are definitely parallels to what we do in the NHRA, but also a lot of differences that make it unique.\u201dThe Hulls were joined by Brian Huth, general manager of Sam Pack\u2019s Five Star Ford, one of Hull Racing\u2019s most supportive partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrian and the rest of the team at Sam Pack\u2019s Five Star Ford have been instrumental in helping me to get my program off of the ground,\u201d said Hull. \u201cAny time I get to spend with him and his lovely wife, enjoying racing, is time well spent.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Hull is most at home behind the wheel of his 12,000-horsepower Nitro Funny Car, he embraced the opportunity to enjoy a different kind of racing environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, I\u2019d rather be strapped into my Funny Car making a run down the track,\u201d said Hull. \u201cBut if I\u2019m going to spend a Sunday away from the driver\u2019s seat, this is about as good as it gets. Being here, feeling the energy, and seeing it all up close, it\u2019s the next best thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hull Racing will return its focus to NHRA competition in the coming weeks as the team continues its 2026 campaign. They have not yet set a return date after their debut at the 2026 NHRA Gatornationals. As decisions are made, they will keep their fans updated via social media and HullRacing.com.
