This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit… It’s been a CRAZY fifteen years, hasn’t it? None of it would be possible unless you come back every week and keep your residency current in The Freak Nation. The Freaks have experienced so much in the past fifteen years: Tragic, painful…
NHRA Mello Yello Pro Stock winner at Epping, New Hampshire Greg Anderson was happy to be back in The Freak Nation. He knows an appearance means he’s done something special like winning.

IndyCar Toronto Winner Josef Newgarden was back in The Freak Nation Sunday night. His first trip was after a win at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham.

This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit… We’re often amazed at the close competition in the NHRA’s Pro Stock category.
