Nick ( / @hustlinhorsepower ) is a one of the most dedicated racers that we've met over the years and the amount of highs and lows he's experienced over the years is unreal. From the time he was a kid, he's had the racing bug stemming from his father being big into the drag racing scene in the 90's and growing up around drag strips and motorsports in general. Many surreal experiences and crazy builds later, Nick is still on the road with his wife, newborn child and dog making their drag racing dreams come true.

What I find fascinating about Nick and Maddy is that they do it all. They didn't buy an old Pro Stock chassis, they built it. Their engines don't come ready to run from a big name builder. There isn't a pro tuner showing up to dial them in while the driver cools off between runs. Nick goes over the data and tunes the truck while Maddy handles all the jobs needed to make the next run, fuel, tires,video, etc. Then there's merch sales. Then MVP and all the mom chores. I get tired just thinking about it.

No kidding even when he has good luck it’s bad luck at the same time. For example he recently switched the truck over to independent front suspension instead if the straight axle and while in the burnout box for the test pass the new brake caliper mount broke and jammed the wheel up so while being lucky that it broke then not at speed he was still out before the event even really started after driving multiple hours to get there

So with that being said hearing the respect you have for yourself as well as others about losing it all and coming back strong brings pure happiness and reminds me to appreciate what I have in life, Thanks Homie
