This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit… It’s a foregone conclusion that NHRA drag racing is the most diverse form of motorsport anywhere. This weekend in Las Vegas proved it. Pro Stock driver Erica Enders-Stevens won a special K&N Shootout for Pro Stock competitors. And as this is being…
Good to See Friends Excel
This is the Statt Mann, Baby. It’s time to Scatt a Little Bit… In the fourteen plus years we’ve been doing this I’ve made some relationships that go beyond the microphone. I’ve talked with guys about their lives, they’ve reached out to me and we’ve had conversations across the years that I value. Several were…
