NHRA podcast: Ida Zetterström from FIA to NHRA Top Fuel

Ida Zetterström, the 2023 FIA Top Fuel champion, is finally getting her feet underneath her in NHRA Top Fuel competition and a lot has happened in just a few races. Zetterström joins The Racing Writer’s Podcast to dig into her first five races: Earning a red light for the first time in his drag racing career; continuing to get comfortable in a different dragster from her European machine; finding her routine and rhythm again after being out of the seat for over half a year; why she said a championship ring was a very American thing; and much more.
