This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. Saturday night’s NASCAR winner in Kansas, Martin Truex, won in a Toyota. But maybe the story of the young season is the performance of the Fords in the NASCAR Cup series. Eight of the top 15 drivers are in Fords led by Brad…
NASCAR broadcast analyst Kyle Petty is a Friend of the Freaks. We love it when he comes in to promote his Charity Motorcycle Ride. This year’s is the 23rd on May 13-19. Kyle once told us The Freak Nation is one of his largest supporters for his charity efforts. We LOVE that unsolicited comment. We…
Fox Sports NASCAR Reporter Chris Neville is a Friend of The Freaks. We caught up with him Sunday night as he boarded a plane out of Richmond, Virginia where the NASCAR Cup Series raced Sunday afternoon. Neville was amused at being ignored by 2015 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch. But he was far more…
NASCAR Cup Texas Winning Crew Chief Chad Knaus came into The Freak Nation Sunday night after leading Jimmie Johnson and the 48 team to victory at Texas Motor Speedway.

NASCAR Cup Series Atlanta Winner Brad Keselowski is another longtime Friend of the Freaks. His visit Sunday night was special because of his last minute win in Atlanta Sunday afternoon.

NASCAR Cup driver Ryan Blaney was second in Sunday’s Daytona 500. He’s also one of the brightest lights in NASCAR’s future. So when he came into The Freak Nation we had to learn a little about this upcoming star. We did learn that the growing beards in the Cup field are impressive to Blaney who…
Seven-Time & 2016 NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson came into The Freak Nation this week to share some thoughts on the new NASCAR format that’ll debut next week during the season-opening Daytona 500. Johnson calls it the new NASCAR ecosystem. It includes new race formats, new points formats and new formats for driver safety and concussion…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. I always look for ways to pat NASCAR on the back for good decisions and plans. An announcement this week to update its concussion protocol is an excellent step in the right direction and long needed. For months the Freaks have said concussion…
This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit. Saturday night I was watching Supercross in Anaheim, watching Ryan Dungey run away with his first win if the young season.
