TOPIC: Is Fighting Good for Motorsports?

Hollywood, CA (August 15, 2007) – FOR REAL this time, barring a tennis racket to the head, the Freaks will finally air their fighting topic.  Oh yeah, it couldn't be scripted any better… on the heels of the Harvick/Montoya spat, SpeedFreaks have a good 'ol rumble themselves in the Lucas Oil pits this Thursday on ESPN2.  Ding, Ding, Ding!  In the red corner, three Freaks combine forces to battle the fact that fighting is indeed good for racing, whereas in the blue corner, the one lone Freak shows just why it isn’t right for the sport. 

“When fighting makes the Sportscenter headlines, then I don’t care how much the conservatives feel it is wrong… it’s damn good publicity and will at least convert one more stick and ball cronie to become a motorhead,” voices one of the Freaks Quartet (guess who?).  “The notion of fighting being negative is so freakin’ old school.  Get a grip, folks!”

Meanwhile, the Freaks' Kenny Sargent, Crash Gladys, Statt Mann Caruthers and Lugg Nuttz move the conversation from fighting to the tough streets of Long Island as they welcome true New Yorkers turned Funny Car pilots, Mike Ashley and Tony Bartone.  Please bring your yellow book 'Accents for Dummies' as you will need it to understand these two.  Capiche?

And sticking with the theme of the show, fighting turns to karate and crocodile tears with Angelle Sampey… though you’ll be quite surprised at what she has to say about her tears, and other competitors for that matter.  Word to the wise, do not cross this Cajun Cutie or you may end up with some jinxed Gris Gris on your Wheaties!

Somewhere in the middle of the Freak'dom is a nose pick, some dirt slingin’, road racin’ and a Girl to Girl with a Mom racer!  The ingredients?  They include Jeremy McGrath, Kelly Renezeder, Jon Fogarty, Johnny Greaves, Ron Capps and Alex Gurney to make up for this high carb – high impact concoction.  

It's another HUGE show this Thursday afternoon from the motorsports empire, SpeedFreaks… hop inside and let's go for the ride!
