1. SpeedFreaks Joins Forces With The Worldwide Leader In Sports

Guests this weekend include NASCAR’s Kasey Kahne, NHRA Champs John Force, Tony Schumacher & Angelle Sampey,Formula 1 Champ Fernando Alonso and MotoGP’s Nicky Hayden & Colin Edwards

Hollywood, CA (September 7, 2006) – The Radio and Television Motorsports Empire, SpeedFreaks announced today that ESPN2 will be the new home for their extremely successful television show. Kenny Sargent and The Pit Crew will kick things off with an hour special this Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. EST with some of the biggest Freakin' names in motorsports.

"ESPN is very excited to add SpeedFreaks to the ESPN2 Family," says Frantz R. Cayo, Director of Motorsports Programming. "Their unique take on the world of motorsports and their reputation with the racing community will be a very nice complement to our overall motorsports strategy. We look forward to introducing Kenny Sargent, Lugg Nuttz, Crash Gladys, and Statt Mann Caruthers to all of our fans."

"What a great place for us to be at this point of SpeedFreaks growth," says the Freaks' Prez Kenny Sargent. "The group at ESPN2 has embraced SpeedFreaks' style from the beginning, and looking ahead at what's in store for 2007, the mothership has landed.” The Sarge continues, “Our radio show maintains it’s growth second to none, and now riding shotgun on ESPN2, motorsports will get more than it's share of the Freak Nation."

This SpeedFreaks Sunday special was shot from the Mopar Mile High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway and the Mopar Big Block Party in Golden, Colorado. Featured throughout the 60 minutes is NASCAR’s Kasey Kahne, Drifting’s Sam Hubinette, MotoGP’s Colin Edwards & Nicky Hayden, Injured Motocrosser Ernesto Fonseca and a slew from the NHRA paddock including John Force, Melanie Troxel, Tony Schumacher, Ron Capps, Richie Stevens, Angelle Sampey, Mike Ashley, Gene Wilson, Erica Enders and team owner Don Schumacher. Oh yeah, kicking off the show is none other than Formula One’s defending Champion, Fernando Alonso.

And, beginning February 2007, SpeedFreaks will hit the track full throttle on ESPN2 every Friday evening as part of the new motorsports weekend programming.

2. SpeedFreaks Will Bask In Legend Glory Sunday Night In The Lucas Oil Studios

Hollywood, CA (September 8, 2006) – The Freak Nation congregation will once again get a taste of SpeedFreaks’ ability to reel-in the Big Timers as legendary hot rod designer and builder, Boyd Coddington joins the heavy metal hell-raiser and cult-figure, Lemmy Kilmister of the band Motorhead. And yes, Lucas Oil Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer will be on hand if needed.

"Hot Rods and metal? Boyd and Lemmy? Please!" rants SpeedFreaks' Lugg Nuttz. "It's like beer and peanuts, fish and French Fries...or was that beer and fish or beer and... you get it, they both go together, Einstein."

"Lugg's not too far off for a guy who graduated kindergarten with honors," says Freaks' Kenny Sargent. "Boyd's Cadzilla, Boydster, Lead Zephyr are as original as Motorhead albums like ‘Ace of Spades’, ‘Overkill’ and ‘No Sleep 'til Hammersmith’. If the cars and riffs don't get your rocks rollin' then maybe you should just park it."

Coddington's Discovery Channel show American Hot Rod is one of the most popular for the network, and has worked with some heavyweights itself in music from ZZ Top to Van Halen. Motorhead has played some of the heaviest music ever leaving waste to those who try to mimic. The latest Motorhead album to lay down the lead is ‘Kiss Of Death’ and will be featured throughout Sunday night’s show.

Joining Coddington and Kilmister will be the 2006 IndyCar Champion and a fly by from 2006 Supercross-Motocross Champ Ricky Carmichael. There will also be some heated Freakin' discussion on who's in and who's out in the Chase for the Nextel Cup.

Only took me about 10 seconds of the opening sequence to change the channel - came on right after the Sportsman show from Indy and tak about going from great stuff to the dregs...!! Sorry, folks, don't care for their act and never have. They would fit in well with the disrespectful side of the old 'mater.
