Just like when you whip you car into any #NAPAAutoCare shop or garage. I brag on the term #NAPAKnowHow alot & 3 @NHRA World Championships don't happen by accident. What our @TeamRonCapps Capps did in a few days was crazy....then to the #1 position was INCREDIBLE 🏁

Still numb, but love this video of @Bloomquist_0 It was a brag for me to say I got to race on the same dirt track with Bloomquist and man... We loved showing him around our stuff when he came out to the drags. One of the greats 🏁 🎥 Shared from #NicolaRacingteam

Just now seeing John Force's crash. One of the biggest of his career. He was alert and NHRA says he's at hospital for further evaluation. Not as bad as his Dallas crash of '07, but super scary. He was 58 then. He's 75 now. Get well, champ.

You have to give credit where its due. I drove 1st few @NHRA races of 2004 with broken collarbone after @cbnationals flip. With no surgery and it was excruciating. So @roberthight7000 hopping back in car after surgery & gritting it out... to a win nonetheless .... #Savage
