This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. You had to see last night’s NASCAR Cup race at Daytona coming from far away. The crashes were wild even for a restrictor plate race. Just as predictable was the finger pointing by drivers taken out in the crashes. Brad Keselowski had the…
It was nearly ten years ago that I talked with Monster Tajima about his switch to electric power at Pikes Peak. He was already the King of the Mountain and had been for many years. It was Tajima who first told me that electric power was the mountain’s future and that electric cars would be…
We couldn’t celebrate our 18th Anniversary without having 16-Time NHRA Funny Car Champion John Force in The Freak Nation. John was there from the beginning. That’s how large he is! When few knew who The SpeedFreaks were, John accepted us into his world and we’ve been a part of each other’s life ever since. This…
Monster Garage Host Jesse James and Motorcycle Daredevil Evel Knievel were larger than the world of motorsports when they came into The Freak Nation. James was a host of highly successful reality TV shows. Knievel was reality television before anyone thought of the programming format. Evel and Jesse took The Freaks into their world and…
We had to combine Rock Legend George Thorogood and Motorsports Legend & 1978 World Driving Champion Mario Andretti for our 18th Anniversary show. They’re among the few large enough to share the spotlight and both became Friends of The Freaks. We ate pizza together and shared personal memories together. Listen…
2005 & 2011 Indy 500 Champion Dan Wheldon, the 2005 IndyCar Champion, was a true Friend of The Freaks. When he came into The Freak Nation the conversation was just as likely to be about his passion for shoes instead of his victory on the racetrack. We remember Wheldon, however, because his death in Las…
IndyCar & NASCAR Driver Danica Patrick is one of the largest headlines over the 18 years of SpeedFreaks. She was the first woman to lead the Indy 500. She is the only woman to win a ChampCar race. She ran in both open-wheel AND NASCAR and commanded the respect of the field in both series.…
NASCAR Driver Kenny Wallace is another who accepted The Freaks early. That’s why we have to have him around for the 18th Anniversary of the show. This is Wallace’s first visit and he was right at home. All those years ago many drivers weren’t comfortable revealing their personal lives and personalities with the world. But…
NHRA Bristol Top Fuel Winner Tony Schumacher is an eight time Top Fuel Champion. That breaks a record of five held by Joe Amato. Six of those championships came consecutively from 2004 to 2009. But his win Sunday in Bristol was his first since March of 2017 at Gainesville. Despite the months of frustration, Schumacher…
IndyCar Driver Gabby Chaves won the 2014 Indy Lights championship and was voted the 2015 IndyCar Rookie of the Year.
