TOPIC: What is more important to the future of sports…The X Games or NASCAR?

Hollywood, CA (August 1, 2007) – Some river rafting, an AJ Foyt video tribute, a Top Fuel points showdown and a bit‘o X-Gamin’ highlight SpeedFreaks Thursday’s 30 minute throwdown from the Lucas Oil pits.  Joining the Freak Foursome and answering some very personal Q&A are Funny Car Driver Tommy Johnson Jr. and Top Fueler Melanie Troxel, one of the only married pro driving duos.  And just when you think Lugg Nuttz gets a bit too personal, Tommy takes it one step further.  Really, Tommy… undies??  We never could picture you doing that!  But possibly the bigger question revolves around who will do more for each other’s sponsors.  It’s something you must watch to find out!  Here’s a freakin’ hint… it’s between your cheek and freakin’ gum.

For more of your entertainment eXtravaganza, watch the Freaks kick off the show with the debate of all ESPN motorsports debates:  X Games versus NASCAR… which means more to the future of sports?  Fresh off the Brickyard 400 and the Freaks trip to Spain for the Red Bull X Fighters, the arguments get ‘en el fuego’… MUY caliente!

“We’re pittin’ the young against the not-so-young with this freakin’ topic.  Both are big money in sports, but I’ll tell you which X-treme group is bigger in this week’s show,” X-claims the Freaks’ CEO Kenny Sargent.  “More importantly, I’d dig to hear the Freak Nation’s take on this… Travis Pastrana vs. Tony Stewart, Shaun White vs. Jeff Gordon, and heck the retirees… Tony Hawk vs. Richard Petty!  Come on Freak Nation, put down your X box and drop me a line: PitCrew@SpeedFreaks.TV “

Also joining the Freaks is a trifecta of other X-tremes.  Crash Gladys catches up with ‘99 IndyCar Champ & Indy 500 winner Kenny Brack and the Brack band’s tribute to the legend Mr. Foyt, Kenny Sargent finds out just exactly what 2006 MotoGP Champ Nicky Hayden does (or doesn’t do) in his free time with teammate Dani Pedrosa and Lugg Nuttz gets ‘tropical’ with NHRA’s 4x Champ Gary Scelzi & “Fast” Jack Beckman.

X-pect nothing less than full ON from the Freaks.  So this Thursday, Freak Nation, do it again.  Get inside the Freakin’ X Ride!
