Racing Legend Bobby Unser is one of only two drivers to win the Indy 500 in three different decades: 1968, 1975 and 1981. (Rick Mears is the other.) But among his greatest accomplishments is being a Friend of the Freaks. We love his visits because he has stories that can only come from a racing…
IndyCar Detroit 2 Winner Scott Dixon came into The Freak Nation Sunday night for his victory celebration. That came after finishing last in the Detroit Grand Prix race one win on Saturday. Dixon is a LONG time Friend of the Freaks so when he comes to visit it’s a great few minutes. This was no…

He must be in the heads of the other drivers because his Capco team is running so consistently strong. But Torrence is getting used to his Freak…
The Freaks spent several minutes Sunday night reviewing a new documentary, Rapid Response. It made it’s world debut before the 103rd Indianapolis 500 and it was a shocking film in what it revealed.

2019 Indy 500 Winner Simon Pagenaud scored a dramatic victory over Alexander Rossi Sunday. His visit with The Freaks was quick but memorable.

1969 Indy 500 Winner Mario Andretti was celebrated all month at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was the 50th anniversary of his only win at Indy.

NBC Racing Analyst Dale Earnhardt is a strange sentence to write. Dale Junior had an excellent racing career winning championships and races in NASCAR before his retirement. But his broadcast career could surpass even his sometimes brilliance on a racetrack. His contribution to NBC’s Indy 500 broadcast Sunday was just an example of what’s might…
NBC Race Broadcaster Leigh Diffey is a fun conversation in The Freak Nation. Sunday night was no difference. After more than a half century of ABC broadcasting the Indy 500, NBC sports did this year’s race and Diffey was in the center of a great race and broadcast. Diffey is fun… Listen…
