Schatz reclaims No. 1, Abreu/Madsen earn HC awards in this week's Top 25

Ya, I gotta ask. You voting members ever strapped your a** in a sprint car or any open wheel car ? worked on one ?  I mean worked on one as in a let's say prepping tires, valving a shock, jamming your fingers between a motor and a bar. I wonder, do any of you members actually travel to these races ? I think you found some other nerds and came up with the dirt network and you think your no it alls. You rate drivers on what position they finished in the prior week. One guy may have been up on the cushion for 29 laps and lost the RR , a to bad -5 spots this week. 

It's for entertainment purposes.  It could potentially foster discussion and give you something to read for two minutes.  You're getting a little too bent out of shape about it.  

Honest question..... who would you move up or down?  Who would you have on the list that they don't?  

All the drivers listed would make a hell of a race at a neutral track.  Qualifications make all the difference in the racing these guys do. If you put the 15 on the pole and gravel 24th. Most are going to say DS is the greatest. But, if Gravel makes his way back to let's 5th place. Who was the better driver this night ? We're you finish doesn't mean your ranking is up or down.  The Outlaws, the ASCoC, Knoxville regulars, Williams Grove regulars. Almost any of these guys, remember almost, OK. If on that pole could get that run to take them under the checkered flag. Does this make them better that week ? The 4,  mentioned, and yes I understand there is more are loaded with teams that have number 1 sponsorship money or a owner that loves the sport and wants to win at all costs. Abrue vineyards, gives Rico what he needs to run. He could be the man in any of the 4 named.
