The 110 Nation

It's Tuesday, and this week Mike and C.J. feature SPEED.....on the track and on the ice. We have a returning guest and Friend of the Show joining us in the studio. We check in with NHRA Pro Stock driver Erica Enders-Stevens. After back-to-back Mello Yello Pro Stock titles in 2014 and 2015, Erica currently finds herself in sixth-place after two events in 2018. We will get an update from Erica since her last visit and find out what's ahead for her this season. Of course, speed on the ice could only mean one thing: Izzo will also be in the studio for his weekly hockey report. Please join us.

It's Monday, and Mike and C.J. are back in the studio to wrap up a busy weekend in sports. From the NASCAR three-peat by Harvick at Phoenix to Tiger playing like his old self at the Valspar Championship, the guys have it all covered. What really made the weekend truly unique was that it was a busy weekend for the Cleveland Browns front office (did I ACTUALLY just write that?). Please join us.

Join me, Mike Perricone and my Producer, Mr. C.J. Sports for HOT LAPS WITH STATS this Friday, March 9, 2018, from 8-10 p.m. on The 110 Nation Sports Radio Network. With the WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR Opener a week away, this show will deal with those 600-hp machines. We will conduct our yearly visit with NASCAR WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR Director Jimmy Wilson. Among other things, we will ask Jimmy what is new on the Tour besides the Series logo in 2018. We will also ask Jimmy what he goes through as far as preparation at a different track for every event. Then, C.J. may want to take notes for when he is in the Myrtle Beach (S.C) Speedway Pit Area on March 17th. We will talk to a first-time guest, Melissa Fifield, driver of the #01 on the WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR. We will learn all about Melissa, who runs out of New Hampshire. How did she get her start in racing? Was she a fan of, and inspired by, Danica Patrick? Join us and find out!

This Thursday, March 8, 2018, the guys welcome a man into the studio who is one of the truly colorful personalities that make weekly local tracks special. Joe Kriss attended his first race at age 3 with his mom. He seemed to have more of a fascination with what was going on in the flag stand than on the track. When Joe's mom sewed his first set of flags for him to bring to the track, little did she know that she was sending seven-year-old Joe on a career path that continues to this day. While Joe's first vantage point was the bleachers, he soon caught the eye of promoters at Fonda, Dodge City Speedway and, of course, Glen Ridge Motorsports Park.In addition, while most flagmen put the "silks" away in winter, Joe flags for the Adirondack Motor Enthusiast's Club (AMEC) on the ice. Please join us for an entertaining, informative show.

It's Wednesday, and Mike and C.J. welcome two guests into the studio in addition to wrapping up the sports news of the day. Dr. Patrick Staropoli somehow manages to combine racing and being a first-year resident physician, operating (pardon the pun) out of Miami. Staropoli opened his 2018 racing season with a strong sixth-place run in the Winter Showdown at Showtime Speedway in his Star Racing #97. He will also campaign the #64 Jim McCoy Motorsports machine this season. We will also talk with Heath Phillips, who pilots the #88 Late Model in the Allison Legacy Series. Please join us.

It's Tuesday, and that means Mike and C.J. are joined in the studio by Izzo for his weekly hockey report. Join @110puckhead as he and Mike, also known as @stats108, talk about the hockey news of the week. With the Winter Olympics completed, we will probably concentrate on the NHL once again, as teams battle for Playoff positions. Please join us.

It's Monday, and Mike and C.J. are back in the studio to talk sports. In addition to the sports news of the weekend including NASCAR action from Las Vegas, we will welcome a guest into the studio. Michael Self of VENTURINI MOTORSPORTS got his ARCA season off to a victorious start at Daytona recently. We will talk with him about what he and his team needs to remain at the top of the ARCA standings and what lies ahead for him as well in 2018.We will also ask him about the unique perspective he gains when spotting for various drivers when he is not strapped into a race car himself. Please join us.

Join me, Mike Perricone, and my Producer Mr. C.J. Sports for HOT LAPS WITH STATS this Friday, March 2, 2018 from 8-10 p.m. on The 110 Nation Sports Radio Network. We will be welcoming two first-time guests into the studio. Kevin Gambacorta drives a Late Model in that very competitive division at Stafford (Conn.) Speedway. Then we will talk to Justin Brown, a young man looking to build on his successful season last year as he looks toward 2018 in the Riverhead (L.I.) Raceway Crate Modified Division. Join us as we learn about two of the rising stars on the local racing scene.

This Thursday, the guys have a very special guest joining them in the studio. As race fans, we have seen way too many local tracks go the way of the dinosaur in past years, whether asphalt or dirt. Mike Parillo, who with his partner, Ray Sefrin, stepped up to save Glen Ridge Motorsports Park from a similar fate in 2017, will visit us on March 1, 2018. Mike will tell us what has been done and, more importantly, what steps will be taken to see that racing remains vital in our area in the future. Please join us.

It's Wednesday, and Mike and C.J. welcome two special guests into the studio. Molly Helmuth is a returning guest and Friend of the Show. It's been a while since we checked in with Molly, so she will update us and look ahead to 2018.Molly races Super Late Models, and has been approved for the NCWTS, so we will find out about this venture as well.  Valerie Thompson, also known as "The Queen of Speed" has driven a motorcycle at just over 304 miles per hour. We will find out if she was a born daredevil, what motivates her to defy the odds and strive to break land speed records, and how she keeps youngsters from copying what she is doing without regard for the risks.  Please join us, you don't want to miss this show!
