Getting older, and a lot of guys hitting their primes. A little inside info for you: he's not going to get any younger and guys will continue to hit their primes

Keep using the excuse.....he is getting older. He is so far off with the setup.....that is why he is barely qualifying right now. Nothing more - nothing less. Getting older is not an excuse for how he has been running most of this year.

Not his age. Maybe too much on his mind (have no idea what that could be). Possibly they've gone as far as they could with the motor and going farther with motor setup/parts might do damage regularly. Just hope he can straighten whatever it is out for 2024. He brings fans to the track so need him. Reading Sammy's new book just out and a great read, first printing last March and like all books, this one, Wolfgang, Jimmy Sills (Life With Luke), Speedy Bill Smith's last book, Bob Trostle's (the best sprint car book) lots and lots of toting your own horn, but then what are they going to talk about but their career which includes lots of winning. I enjoyed all four books. Sammy quote on the young guns, "when I won that All Star race at Burlington in 2018, Cory Eliason held on for second and Carson Macedo ran third. Add their ages together and you get 48.. I was 62!!

One reason why the team is running so bad is because Ford pulled everything from the team. Ford is now with Rudeen and Zeb Wise.

Another excuse. I don't do excuses. It is setup - setup- setup. You can put any engine in the car Chevy, Ford, Toyota and they seem to be running pretty good for other teams.

This team is acting like it's the end of the road for this combination at least. Normally before an end of the season split, teams tend to perform below average. With the rumors of Schatz to Crouch, TSR to disband etc.... maybe that's what's happening here.

I heard that he has been focusing a lot on piloting and kicking around the idea of Red Bull Air Racing in a plane?

TSR disbanding??? Maybe, has Tony Stewart actually spread his millions and millions of dollars too thin what with running a funny car, a top fuel dragster and Tony himself running a top alcohol dragster at 21 events nationwide. Not cheap. He has also in the last couple years been co-sponsor of the Supercar Experience or whatever its called. With his star driver of the # 15 sprint car having an un-Schatz like year, maybe yes, he'll cut his spending a bit by leaving the WoO. I think he owns the All Star series as well. Even to make his practice runs in a top fuel dragster which plans have him in next year cost him and sponsors $10 to $15,000 a run. And we all know how expensive NASCAR is. We'll see.

Donny's life has changed with the loss of his father and running the family business. Hope to see him back with Shaver Chevys and a new team.

It will not matter who he races for or what engines he is running.....if he doesn't handle better he will still be out to lunch.

It seems there are lots of little things that add up to going faster or slower. Sometimes too a person can just be off their game for awhile. It happens at all levels of sports.

It doesn't happen that often anymore. I would say less than 5 times a year.

So the track prep expert is also a crew chief?
Have you ever set up or worked on a sprint car?
