SpeedFreaks: Biggest Motorsports Show On The Planet

ARCA and NASCAR Truck Series Driver Toni Breidinger is hard pressed to be narrowed down to one racing series. Most of her attention is with ARCA on General Tires and NASCAR trucks. But she finds time to race her father's open wheel USAC Midgets in her "spare" time. The Freaks talked with her in a rare down minute when she was visiting with her twin sister Annie, a student at Purdue University. A painful revelation for Crash Gladys, an alumni at Indiana University. Listen...

IndyCar Texas 2 Winner Patricio O'Ward came into The Freak Nation Sunday night still celebrating his first series win. The Freaks talked with O'Ward just after his 22nd birthday on Thursday. He could earn a record in IndyCar. If he wins the Indy 500 at the end of the month he could become the youngest 500 winner in history. Right now, though, the win sets him 22 points behind Scott Dixon in the driver standings. O'Ward is moving into the IndyCar spotlight ver early in his career.

2021 Supercross 450cc Champion Cooper Webb just earned his second 450 cc title in three years. The question now is whether or not he can become a transformational rider like Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael or James Stewart. Webb won his first title in 2019. He was second in 2020 and got the second ring in 2021. It capped a strange season that started with parity among the top riders but Webb emerged at the end with wins and strong performances.

He never won a title in the category finishing second more than he'd like to admit. Listen...

Drivers such as Mike Skinner, Carl Long, Ron Hornaday Jr. and even three-time NASCAR Winston Cup champion Darrell Waltrip all drove for him.
