Brainerd International Raceway hosts one of Minnesota’s marquee annual sporting events this weekend.
The Brainerd NHRA Nationals features the top drag racers in the country for four days of top-level competition.
MNN sports director Mike Grimm sat down with Funny Car driver Jordan Vandergriff to preview the big event.
Vandergriff is a championship contender in his first full season. Brainerd has a special meaning to him, so have a listen.
He is also a reality TV star, having spent time on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise.
