So the track prep expert is also a crew chief?
Have you ever set up or worked on a sprint car?
|
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess the guy's never done any track prep work either. Just like countless other idiots on the internet who point out the obvious but offer no real solutions.

The second sentence you would be WRONG! I helped on one back in the day at the shop.
Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

It doesn't happen that often anymore. I would say less than 5 times a year.
|
No kidding? And yet, he used to win more when he was younger and in his prime. I wonder if theres a correlation?

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.
|
Well, let's see now. The FACTS: Schatz started on the outside front row and faded to 6th in just a couple laps. He then proceeded to pass Haudenschild, Brown, Scelzi, Sweet, and Gravel- at the white flag- to win his 4th WoO feature this year.
He is 6th in points right now, behind some younger racers. But, he is ahead of 339 other racers listed on the WoO 2023 points sheet.
The obvious conclusion we can draw from these FACTS is that you need to have your motor-mouth tuned up. It's not hitting on all 4 cylinders right now.

No facts just more opinions there's no way you know anything about Donny's set up sitting on your couch watching races.

It's impossible for anyone to win without Ricky. If Ricky doesn't show up at the track, they just give the top car 2nd place in his honor. I'm sure you've seen the stats the past 2 seasons: Rico has probably run 80-100 races and has 80-100 wins because of Ricky. Did you miss that?

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.

Bullshit........Congrats to Donny Schatz and the TSR, Ford Performance Team for their WOO win tonight from Shavers ....right from Shaver's page.

I don't know jack about how good his car was last night but he drove a very good race. His patience and line choices were really good last night. The battle with sweet was a good example of lines and momentum building to retake the position.

The truth is every driver needs someone to set up their car each night. What truth hurts, the truth that you rarely sound like you know what your're talking about?

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out his setup has been off most of the year. We needed the wide angle lens to see him most nights....not picking on him just stating facts.

Still just opinions you can say anything out loud doesn't make it fact no matter how much you yell it unless your there you really don't know but go ahead and say what you want still not a fact.

The 15 drove a good race and deserved to win.The top 6 WOO drivers were all capable of winning but Donny won. Winning WOO races is hard to do .

You know, my priorities changed quite a bit in my 40s. They may have for Donny as well. He seems to be doing pretty OK for himself and doesn't necessarily need the purse money to put food on the table like some of his peers. He's still out there and seems to be pretty OK with everything from the business side of TSR, if he was that unhappy I'm sure there's some other car owners who would love to have him in their car.

History says he wins an average of 5 races a year without Ricky. That would was win #5 for the year. Looks like the data is right on target.
