Message boards are always buzzing about who is a hot racer now, who is an up and comer and who is just on the verge stardom. 2022 will be my 50th year of watching sprint car races. I'll probably spend the off-season yelling at kids to "GET OFF MY LAWN!".
Cast your gaze 5 years down the road. At the end of the 2022 sprint car season, who will we be talking a lot about? Off the top of my head, in October 2022 I think we'll be talking about brothers: Madsens, Rahmers and McCarls. By then I also expect that we'll see the rise of a female sprint racer, someone like Paige Polyak.

Parker Price Miller, Davi Gravel , Carson Macedo to name a few that I think could be on the verge of stardom.

Hopefully, in 2022, the experts will be asking "Can Donny regain his form from years past?" Probably not, but we can always dream.
I say:
Gravel
PPM
Sheldon
Spencer Bayston
Schuchart
Paige would be cool--saw her win in my first ever trip to Jackson this June.

He's probably a little bit too young to even be putting this out there for five years down the road but if Sprint Car talent is hereditary and that is the direction he decides to go watch out for Garrett Tatnell. I've never seen anyone that young so serious about working on a race car and taking in everything that's happening at the races. The blood lines are off the charts with Sprint Car legends on both sides of the family.

I agree with most of the other posts - in 5 years, Gravel should be on the top of the WOO world. I do believe that Sheldon and Schuchart will push him though. The question with those two will not be ability but instead resources and backing. Others to keep an eye on (Some repeats here);
PPM
Bayston
Hafertepe Jr
Rico (He’s only 25 and it appears his NASCAR career is over.)
The Scelzis
Rahmer
Kofoid
Thorson

You are correct on resources and backing. I anticipate Schuchart landing a ride outside of the family car. If he takes it or not? Well, that's up to him. You know all of the big $$ owners can see what he is-------only a blind man couldn't see he has TONS of untapped potential.

Schatz will only be 45. If Gravel leaves to attempt a NASCAR deal, he will still be the dominant guy.
Gravel, Gio Sclezi, Logan Schuchart, if they have decent rides, will be competing for a lot of wins.
Sweet cant get over the win hump, but I don’t think he’s 30 yet, so he could be a good one as well.

You might (still) want to talk about someone else five years from now but my money is (still) on Donnie Schatz. As per dsc1600, he'll only be 45 - far from washed-up - mediocre. I wouldn't doubt that he's better then than now.
Might have to wait until 2027 .......or 32.........................
And, speaking of the younger guns perhaps looking to the promised land, has Donnie Schatz ever even entertained something other than sprint cars and an occasional late model? I don't think so.

Buddy Kofoid. I have never seen a driver that young (15) drive so smoothly and intelligently. The kid drives like a 20-year veteran.
Chase Johnson. He seems to improve every week.
Shane Golobic. Two Trophy Cups in a row!

Schatz will still be beating them, but with a Ford 305 Hybrid / Electric and no cockpit adjusters.
Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

Nothing against lady lightning but the female driver that’s going to make huge waves once she gets some funding is , Morgan Turpen. She had around 10 wins including 5 in row and a solid top 10 at the short track nationals.
