This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit… There was a time in my life when Formula One was the epitome of motor racing. It was almost like the American Can-Am series. You bring it. You race it. And the better idea wins. But like most things based on money –…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit… Competition has long been more important to me than speed in a motor race. And because of that this weekend’s Le Mans 24 Hours was boring. It won’t matter in the history books that there were only five Hypercars in the field when…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit… I was disappointed several NASCAR Cup drivers criticized running on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend.

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit… Many rightfully criticize NASCAR for its lack of diversity. But a giant in the sport left us Wednesday. Sam Belnavis blazed trails in NASCAR.

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. The heartbreak of motor racing was on display this weekend in just two races. The obvious was at Pocono Saturday where Kyle Larson was a couple hundred yards away from history. It would have been his fourth straight points race win. Instead a…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. I checked in with Formula Drift this weekend. Imagine my surprise to find someone is using a Ferrari in competition and won a round this weekend at Englishtown. It isn’t a front runner but the idea of Federico Sceriffo building a Ferrari 599…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. This week The Freaks talked with a young Indian driver Yuven Sundaramoorthy who’s winning races and leading the championship in the USF2000 Road to Indy program. The kid won’t be 19 until February. WOW!! Yuven’s leading a very tight race for the championship…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. I’ve been in the news business for more than fifty years. I know how to be fair in coverage but pure objectivity is difficult for a living, breathing adult with experiences and a brain. That said, it’s tough to be a fan. I’m…
