Kings Royal, Knoxville Nats, Silver Cup and WG Nats - and to boot he's the leading feature winner at the Grove this year with 5 wins (guess you know who will be claiming he's Posse now ) What a phenomenal season for Donny and the 15 crew.

I agree, Donny has been unbeatable this year and congrats on yet another big win, i was there tonight and it was clearly a race for second..........however

the posse did have fantastic performances all weekend long, 3 of the top 5 and they started 7 in the Dash, not to mention Ed Lynch in the Dash, the only outlaws to make the Dash were 3rd and 4th lastnite being Donny and Madsen (great runs by Madsen this weekend also)

The home team did indeed perform respectably this time around.

Saturday's show was pretty much what I expected. Schatz took the lead at the start and just dominated. He was almost half a lap ahead when the caution came out on lap 32.

On a personal note, I saw four WoO races this year and did not see a single lead change in any of the features. And there are people on here that rip on NASCAR for putting on boring races?

Crowd was absolutely amazing; one of the largest I have seen at the Grove.

By finishing second Saturday night, Todd Shaffer won his second Grove points title (the other was in 1995). In the years since Shaffer's last Grove title, Fred Rahmer won seven Grove championships and Lance Dewease claimed four.. Bad weekend for Rahmer. He timed slow enough to wind up in the D-main on Friday, then went over the turn four fence on Saturday night.

Interesting what unlimited funds, factory backing, and nascar engineering help can do for a dirt track team. Starting to look like Cup dominance in Busch and we can all see how that series is slowing drying up and dying. Why would someone want to put huge sponsorship dollars into a team that has to try to compete against Stewart & Kahne. Don't expect any of the upcoming stupid butt, dictator imposed rule changes to make one tiny bit of difference.

Hopefully local track across America will finally take a stand against this organization and tell them enough is enough - go and don't come back. Would be absolutely sweet if the folks at Williams Grove would be the first, followed by Cappy at K'ville. It's time!!! These guys are getting way out of line. When their own drivers don't want the rule changes - they stuff 'em down their throats anyway.

Don't think that's going to happen anytime soon after the enormous crowds Williams Grove enjoyed this weekend. And Schatz was doing this stuff well before he got involved with Stewart. Can you guys give the man credit? It's not like McMahan lit the world on fire with all that "Nascar" money.

If you read Tom Savage's column in Flat Out about the kid from Minot in the black #15 those are our first memories of Schatz. He was a bit on the wild side but he put the right rear of his Wissota 360 against the wall at Cedar Lake quite a few Saturday nights and went like h*ll. We knew he'd be good but we had no idea that he'd rise to the top of the sport of winged Sprint Car racing. We saw him run the Wissota specials at various tracks around the area for a couple years before he moved onto the WoO.

Seeing as a guy from North Dakota kicks *ss four years straight in PA you Posse folks out to find some loophole in the rules so you can adopt him.
