Ep.316 – Tony Pedregon

Jan 4, 2026 · 110 min

Another drag racing addition to the roster, Tony Pedregon is a one-of-a-kind figure to the NHRA. The son of “Flamin’ Frank” Pedregon and the product of the Southern California drag scene, Tony went from working-class roots to becoming a two-time NHRA champion and working for the legendary John Force before starting his own team with his brother Cruze. Beyond his on-track success, Tony is most known today for his on-air exploits, as a commentator for Fox Sports and their coverage of the NHRA. Lunch was served at Charlie Brown’s Pancake and Steak House, with SOURWAH’s “Mandalas” taking us out. Thanks to Continental Tire for making this all happen!
