This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. I’ve done nearly a thousand of these about things all over the motorsports map. Maybe I’ll give my alter ego a shot at one… Chickened out did you? What’s so hard about one of the biggest IMSA headlines this week? Hyundai may put…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. I’m beginning to think bargaining table talks in motorsports won’t work anymore. It’s not like factory workers and management where the workers speak with a single, unionized voice. Teams don’t have common needs like lunch-pail factory workers. 0 I’m looking at this from…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. An IndyCar story this week pit series drivers against the front office. The issue is Mexico. Everyone’s disappointed after NASCAR announced a race where IndyCar wants to put on a show south of the border. Popular Mexican driver Pato O’Ward led the soundbite…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. Once again, a good motor race telecast on NBC. Sunday it was IMSA at Virginia International Raceway.

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. A cousin this weekend wanted to see the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. He’d never been there and he was about to sign up for a high speed driving course. So off we went only to find a Sports Car Club of America regional…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. Technology is the lifeblood of motorsport. And it’s been in full bleed this weekend at Rally Finland, the fastest rally in the World Championship. One of the stages, Ouninpohja, was removed from the rally and the championship in 2016 because of the speed…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. A NASCAR headline this week deserves your undivided attention. Trackhouse Racing announced a new partnership that changes the financial grid. Trackhouse acquired a new investment partner, Avenue Sports, a $12.3 billion private equity fund. That’s BILLION with a B. This comes as NASCAR…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. In the midst of all the dark headlines and dark times I chose to get lost a bit on Sunday. So, I turned right onto the Freak Nation’s Highway 1, our third show and a man who’s been a friend since that night:…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. More evidence today that maybe I’ve been doing this too long. I was thrilled to see seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton win Sunday for his ninth time at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. It was an important win for all of…
