Big Sound Podcast with Big Jeff Podcast Profile: NHRA Pro Stock Driver Camrie Caruso

Our first podcast was a success, and we are going to keep them coming every Thursday at 7:30pm ET. For our next show, on May 18^th, we will have NHRA 2022 Rookie of the Year Camrie Caruso. Having already notched multiple number one qualifier spots and her first Pro Stock win at the NHRA Arizona Nationals earlier this year, Camrie continues her atmospheric rise in the drag racing world. The young drag racer is a multi-generationally talented Pro stock driver. Her grandfather and father were both professional racers and Camrie has wanted to follow in their footsteps since she was little. “Ever since I remember I’ve always wanted to race full time. As soon as I jumped into junior dragsters it was even more apparent that’s what I wanted to do.” said Caruso.

Following the podcast Caruso will be headed to Chicago for the Gerber Glass & Collision NHRA Route 66 Nationals May 19^th. During the pandemic the Route 66 Raceway was closed but has recently been reopened. This will be the first NHRA race back at this track and Camrie Caruso’s first-time racing on this strip. “It’s an entire new adventure for me and I am going into it with an open mind and excited to learn the track!” Caruso said.

Another first for the Chicago stop is the Pro Stock specialty race, the NHRA All-star Pro Stock Car Callout, which Camrie has been chosen to compete in. There is quite a buzz around the new race where the top 8 racers in the division choose their opponents and race head-to-head in a mini tournament before the big race on Sunday.

All this and more will be discussed more in-depth on the podcast, Thursday May 18th for our live show at 7:30pm ET. You can tune in live on all the major social media platforms, you can always watch it later when the video is posted or listen to the audio only version wherever you get your podcasts.
