How many did Steve win without Sammy or Doug even there running for points.

Steve was the only one to run for points every year

Maybe he acted like the person he was meeting

Don't know Decaire and don't really care but if he drives a sprint car, I'd watch, especially if he's good at it. Schatz could have easily been on that list, but maybe Robin Miller reads this forum. Good to see him have the nerve to place that many sprint car drivers on the list. My list would have ten sprint car drivers. No, I'd have to add a couple dirt late model drivers.

Lawlessness + liberalism = HELL -  NYC, Detroit, Chicago, 
Seattle, LA  Who the H runs those cities. 

Born@Wilmot:

I am not a "drone" and I really do not appreciate being called names by someone who doesn't even know me. You could have posted your response without the name calling, but it does show alot about you that you did. You proved my point of my post, that people can be jackasses about someone and they don't really know the person at all. Thank you for proving my point.

It is the responsiblity of the Fan to cheer or boo the persons that they like or dislike.

Responsibility to boo? What, are you 12? I booed a driver once, when I was about 10. My dad taught me real quick that I was not to boo ANY driver. Go ahead and cheer, clap, or whatever trips your trigger for your favorites, but why not show that you do not care for other drivers with silence? And yes, you payed your hard earned dollars for your ticket, but the drivers are putting their lives on the line for your entertainment, too. They should be respected for that, if nothing else.

Yes, "fan" is derived from the word "fanatic," and even though Websters (or whatever dictionary you choose to use) probably won't distinguish between the two, there is a big difference in the two. "Fan" more describes someone who is passionate about something. "Fanatic" more describes someone who takes their passion to an extreme, and who is, or almost, consumed by it.

Someone mentioned Steve Kinser's winning record versus Sammy Swindell's winning record. It was also noted later about the difference in full seasons ran by the two. Now then, I'm not knocking Steve or his record and respect him for all his achievements. He will, and should, statistically speaking, go down as the best sprint car driver in history, but something else to note is that Sammy is an innovator. How many seasons did he spend testing dirt tires for Goodyear while everyone else was running already established tires such as Firestone, McCreary, and etc.? How many years did he spend testing and trying other things? Hmmmm, kinda makes a person wonder how many more wins he might have had, had he been running what was known to work instead of testing. Also, how many of Steve's wins have came post-Karl? Here's a quote from another very good driver after the Steve and Karl split with Mark driving Karl's car. "All these years we thought Steve Kinser was God. Now we know he was just driving God's car."

Dude, you don't understand what I'm trying to say. Boo every driver you want, thats part of the fun. But to say you flat out hate somebody, somebody you don't even know, is harsh. Unless you own the car they are driving, no driver owes you anything, we PAY to watch them entertain us. They are PAID to race a car. You need to understand that as a fellow Sprint Car Fanatic, I simply don't get the HATE part. I pride myself in being very different than a college football fan, I'M A RACE FAN!! I hate veggies, waking up early, last calls, fuel stops, and curfews.(and that I'm not Gods gift to women). I'm sure you are a great person and somebody I'd have a beer with, so lets start a new here and THANK all those drivers that entertain us every weekend.
