Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series buggy driver Dave Mason, Jr. has more fun with his name than the rest of us. And, no, he’s not related to the musician Dave Mason. But he is a son of great off-road racing and he loves battling with his opponents like a truck racer even though he doesn’t…
NHRA Funny Car driver Alexis Dejoria is a long-time Friend of the Freaks who’s proving to be a force in Funny Car racing even though she’s yet to win a race. But, given that, Dejoria is asking for fan support to get into a special Funny Car shootout next weekend at the U.S. Nationals. In…
This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit… There’s very little more obscure than rally drivers. They’re like the long distance runners of motor racing. There are stars, of course, like Ken Block in the U.S., or two-time defending U.S. champion David Higgins. Globally there’s Sebastian Loeb. There’s no larger…
General Tire Racing driver Ryan Beat is one of the hottest names in off-road racing. But his story might be even hotter. He has a great inventory of tattoos none of which came from his sponsor, a tattoo parlor! But he also is maybe the only driver in off-road to drive the Unlimited Pro Lites,…
Damion Gardner has won championships on USAC short tracks in a sprint car. But wait’ll you hear what he made of the idea to become The World’s Fastest Sprint Car Driver. He not only went to Bonneville to grab the title, he spun in circles at the very idea! It’s a great story. Listen…

NASCAR Nationwide Mid-Ohio winner A.J. Allmendinger is one of our favorite guests in The Freak Nation. He’s especially fun after a win like the one Saturday when he dominated the stock car race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. But wait’ll you hear A.J.’s praise of Roger Penske and his indifference to Kenny Sargent! Listen…
This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit… I was surprised at becoming emotionally involved with the Nationwide race at Mid-Ohio Saturday afternoon. Part of the sponsor branding went to Children’s Hospital in nearby Columbus, Ohio. I was in that hospital a couple times growing up. But an historic name…
2012 Las Vegas to Reno Off-Road Race winner Garrick Freitas will be defending that victory this week in the 2013 edition of the race. Freitas is a General Tire driver who also farms and has fun doing it all. Freitas has been in The Freak Nation before, especially when he runs in the Mint 400.…
Grand-Am Rolex DP Road America winner Brendan Hartley is considered a rookie in Grand-Am. But the Starworks Motorsports driver is far from a rookie. He’s a driver in the World Endurance Championship in prototypes and he’s a test driver for Mercedes GP, an F1 team. But he’s also a sampler of great cheeseburgers. Hartley is…
