Two-time NHRA champion Capps has embraced 'The Zoo' as much as it has embraced him.
This week, the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series is at the Brainerd International Raceway for the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals.insider Ron Capps says the Branerd stop is one his favorite on the circuit.
It was 1993, and it was during an oil down. I was in the staging lanes, and just some old guy started talking to me. I thought he was a crew member on another dragster, and it turned out it was Mitchell, an owner of two dragsters. And so the next day, he came up to me, and we just had a great conversation.
The community here has really embraced me, too, and it goes both ways. It's so funny because some teams or drivers for the longest time just would not go near"The Zoo." There were some owners that told their crew members they were not allowed to go anywhere into The Zoo or even the campground area.
