This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown shouldn’t buy any green bananas. The American was hired on promises that he’d find a full-time sponsor for the McLaren Formula One program while making the brand competitive and, possibly, a winner at Indy. So far, neither has…
Racing Legend Anthony Joseph Foyt is always welcome in The Freak Nation. Sunday night’s visit was the fun we expected. Most of the conversation was about the Indy 500 where Foyt has won four times. In fact, he’s the only driver to win the Indianapolis 500, the Daytona 500, the 24 Hours of Daytona, the…
The Freaks Sunday night took us on a 2013 Freakin’ Flashback with Tony Kanaan. The interview was done on Media Day at Indianapolis Motor Speedway just days before Kanaan won the biggest race of his life, the Indy 500. And, as often happens with Kanaan and The Freaks, the conversation had little to do with…

We remember Wheldon, however, because his death in Las…

2018 Indy 500 Winner Will Power won the 2014 IndyCar Series championship. But this year’s win at Indy was another box checked on Power’s Bucket List. He wanted that win as much as any and he’s tied with Scott Dixon for most road and street course wins in IndyCar Series history. Will’s a friend and…
2013 Indy 500 Winner & 2004 IndyCar Series Champion Tony Kanaan is a longtime Friend of The Freaks. So when we get a chance to talk with him about his legendary car owner A.J. Foyt we expect some candid fun. And Tony didn’t let us down in Indianapolis. What about running with AJ? What about…
2007, 2009-2011 IndyCar Series Champion Dario Franchitti has been a Friend of The Freaks almost as long as we’ve been in The Freak Nation. Dario has three Indy 500 wins – 2007, 2010 & 2012 – to go along with those championships so Dario is used to doing Freakish things. That includes paying us a…
