Brian Husen, Kalitta Motorsports crew chief joins WFO Radio
About this episode
Brian Hughes, crew chief for Sean Langdon’s Top Fuel car, breaks down how the team’s strong Arizona start came together—months of sorting parts, tuning, and decision-making right up to the moment of the run. He talks about learning under Alan Johnson, balancing aggression with smart risk (especially after tire-spinning issues), and the mental process behind key calls like qualifying strategy and the final-round plan. The conversation also covers Sean’s improved mindset, the 1000th Top Fuel milestone, and NHRA’s 75th season context, plus WFO’s Pomona ticket plans and a deep pro stock “major moments” bracket game.
