Keeping Up with "Fast Jack" Beckman
Fresh off his commanding NHRA Funny Car victory at the 2019 season finale in Pomona, the guys catch up with two-time NHRA Champion Jack Beckman during a well-deserved holiday break. Hooked on hot rods as a young kid in California, “Fast Jack” has more than earned his nickname, progressing from running 15.06 at 90 mph, to 3.92 at 323 mph! Noting how “good preparation leads to good performance,” Beckman speaks candidly about the trials and tribulations of racing nitro funny cars in the dark, and how having the right mindset can make the difference between life and death, as witnessed by his epic 2016 crash in Epping, NH.
