TOPIC: The Freaks dive right in this Indy 500 Weekend with:
Are you a true American Open Wheel Champion if you do not run, or WIN, the Indy 500?

 

Hollywood, CA (May 23, 2007) – SpeedFreaks kick off the summer holiday season with a heated roundhouse of Freak’dom this Thursday at 6PM EST (yes, note the time change) with the biggest names in mo’sports from the Mazda Pits.  But what’s surely to get the Freak Nation riled up is the when the quartet of Lugg Nuttz, Statt Mann, Crash Gladys and Kenny Sargent debate the real unanswered Q & A… Is an honest to goodness, meat and potatoes, American pie eating Open Wheel driver a real champion if he or she does not win the Indy 500?  Want to ask Champ Car’s Sebastian Bourdais or Alex Tagliani?
 
Plus, like they did with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his secret desire to go to art school, SpeedFreaks expose yet another big name in NASCAR and his deep passion.  It’s a jones for some beats, lines and rhymes as a Missouri Hip Hop record label owner.  Yes, we're talking about Carl Edwards and Back 40 Records.
 
“The run continues for SpeedFreaks as we give motorsports fans some tasty bits of unearthed info on the biggest names in the sport,” says the Freaks Kenny Sargent.  “Edwards has been a regular in the Freaks Pits for five years, before he had a sponsor on his 99 Ford Truck with Jack Roush and before his cardboard stand-up was ever ripped off from Office Depot.  Carl is the real Freakin’ deal.”
 
SpeedFreaks also grab gears with former Tyrrell, Arrows, BAR, Sauber, Toyota & Ferrari F1 driver Mika Salo and mix it up with arguably one of the greatest human highlight reels in X Games history by Freestyle Snowmobiler Jimmie 'Blaze'.
