SpeedFreaks: Biggest Motorsports Show On The Planet

General Manager Worldwide Technology Raceway Chris Blair came into The Freak Nation for a comfortable conversation. Blair has been a Friend of The Freaks since he helped program the show at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Blair had a successful show at WWTR with NASCAR Now he's getting ready for IndyCar August 19-20.

2004 Freaks on Speed Freakin' Flashback to one of our first shows on video 18 years ago. That's when we recorded the Sunday night radio show and put it on Speed Channel television two nights later. It was a BUSY couple days of editing and shipping. Still, those were great days that helped build out The Freak Nation. Listen...

The Freaks have a 2004 Freakin' Flashback with the band Sugar Ray. This is one of our early shows with Speed Channel. Sugar Ray was a hot band from Southern California in 2004. The band started with funk metal music but had a huge hit with Fly, a pop music hit. Every Morning and Someday followed. The band loved motor racing. Listen...

Guests: 2013 Freakin' Flashback with Justin Wilson, NASCAR New England Winner Christopher Bell, IndyCar Toronto Winner Scott Dixon, NHRA Denver Pro Stock Motorcycle Winner Matt Smith, 2007 Freakin' Flashback with 7-time Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath

NASCAR New England Winner Christopher Bell returned to The Freak Nation Sunday night. The win was his first of 2022 and the second of Bell's NASCAR Cup Series career. Bell's win doesn't guarantee him a spot in the NASCAR post-season playoffs but his finishes leave him sixth in the points standings to make it pretty difficult for another driver to overtake Christopher before the playoffs start September 4th. Listen...

IndyCar Toronto Winner Scott Dixon is a Freaks Favorite. His win in Toronto tied him with Mario Andretti with 52 career wins for second on the all-time list behind A.J. Foyt's 67 victories. His six championships in 2003, 2008, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 are the most ever. Dixon, though, is far more entertaining than numbers. Who would have thought that Dixon thinks of himself as potentially an IT guy if he wasn't racing. Does that make him a MAC or Windows man? Listen...

NHRA Denver Pro Stock Motorcycle Winner Matt Smith was happy about the victory when he got to The Freak Nation this week. But the win wasn't enough to overcome NHRA rules changes that left Smith ready to slam the wood on some golf balls in Reno. The Lucas Oil rider was throwing names around with charges to label those names. Listen...

Sunday night The Freaks look back to a 2007 Freakin' Flashback with seven-time Supercross champion Jeremy McGrath. The television interview for ESPN2 was at Pomona but McGrath's mind was on a motor racing contract he'd just signed with Dale Earhnardt, Jr. And you'd be surprised at who was behind the curtain pulling strings to make the contract happen. Listen...

A 2013 Freakin' Flashback with Justin Wilson was a highlight on Sunday night's SpeedFreaks radio show. Kenny and Crash talked with Wilson on the Indy 500 Media Day in Indianapolis. Wilson was a Friend of The Freaks so it was painful when he was killed during an IndyCar race at Pocono Raceway in 2015. Debris from another driver's crash hit Wilson fatally. This was a friendlier time with a great man. Listen...

Guests: ARCA Mid-Ohio Winner Taylor Gray, Lucas OIl Motocross Rider Aaron Plessinger
