\u201cGetting to talk with Austin and hear about his early racing career was really special,\u201d said Hull. \u201cAustin has taken the Funny Car class by storm, and he is on a record pace this season. It was great to talk with him more in-depth about racing with his dad and brother as well as getting his insight on driving these 11,000-horsepower animals.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Prock episode was shot in the Turn 11 event center during the Sonoma Nationals at the end of July. Prock and Hull exchanged several stories on how they have approached their respective rookie seasons behind the wheel of a nitro Funny Car coming over from racing Top Fuel dragsters. The duo also touched on the almost serene atmosphere of the cockpit moments before they hit the starting line stripe.

\u201cWe have done a number of episodes of the show and every one is a little different,\u201d said Hull. \u201cI love that we are giving guys the chance to tell stories and highlight what is so cool about racing Funny Cars. Austin was a great guest and I think people will enjoy hearing what he has to say about his first year driving a nitro Funny Car.
