Description
In his second full season of NHRA competition, Josh Hart hopes people are starting to take notice that his team isn’t messing around. Hart discusses preparing for a new season; what he learned last year; balancing between the driver and owner hat; experiencing the Countdown for the first time; the mental game of NHRA; being one of the quietest and calmest drivers in the pits; fitting into the pits with drivers Hart once looked up to; Don Garlits as a mentor; how his drag racing career started from troubles on the public roads of Indianapolis; starting his racing career later than most; adjusting to the business of drag racing; knowing it was sink or swim and changing his life; some lessons of being a pro driver; trying to get comfortable in his dragster this season and referencing Days of Thunder; recalling the first time hitting the 330mph mark; if he thinks 340mph is out there for dragsters; where he thinks life would have taken him if not for drag racing; if any team changes were made for 2023 and his season expectations.
