Schatz is the best all time.    He has gone against tougher competion thanthe rest of your list did.  410 sprint cars are so even right now its truly amazing what Schatz has done the last couple years.



Schatz is good and has been for some time. What he's done the past few years is pretty easy to explain....MONEY! And his toughest competition amounts to two competititors that also have lots of MONEY! The rest are not Hall of Famers by a long stretch. And all the money for his toughest competition comes from the NASCAR ranks, also. Not only did the former list have stiffer competion all around....they had to beat each other. Those guys in their prime would still kick ass today.

If money was the only factor then there would be a lot of guys doing what Shatz does, you can only spend so much money on a car that's on the track, money can get u big haulers and pretty graphics and lost of spares in the trailer and back at the shop, but almost every Woo team has the same amount of money in the car on the track. Shatz could switch cars with kkr or Larson marks and he would eventually beat his own car, I agree Shatz success can be summed up pretty simply , it's Donny Shatz, all the money, parts, and spares can't replace the man in the drivers seat.

Congratulations to Hirst seems as though Roth is finally getting the kinks out of whatever problems they have had all year!

Still having a hard time swollowing Roth getting Rid of Gravel. Bad move and now hes in even a worse situation. Great car owner but Horrible Crew. This kid gets the car in some pretty good start position and in every main the car goes backwards.  Starts on the poll by lap 2 or 3 in 11. Rick seems to be a savvy business man and is not afraid to spend the money. When will he open his eyes and see that he has lost some Great Drivers, Dollanskys frustrations now make perfect sense. I can't even imagine what Frustrations Dave  is having. He ran better in Bill Roses car and his own stuff in the 89g car! Someone please shake him up or for what it's worth someone help Gravel out and get him the Hell out of that Destiny car with Benic! Great driver, nice kid, lots of talent and potential. I just don't see it happening here til Benic is  no longer the crew chief. Maybe they should think about keeping Benic home be a car manager and leave his ego behind and, let someone who knows how to get a car around. Before this car owner decides to pull the plug! It's not your Drivers Rick !

Or Maybe Mr Roth realizes that getting Rid of Gravel was a  mistake and letting Scotty Martin get. away was his second Mistake! 

Look what he is doing with Shane Stewart!

Btw this is not Bill, this is a glitch from somewhere idk how this happened



It's a Great Crew! they Ran just Fine with TK and Their still a Win, Place or Show Team....

Gravel well last night I think his car was 20 feet wide anyone attempting to pass him was in a defensive mode.

just needs a new team. I think he has a future on the road with the right people behind him.

Fact: there aren't a lot of guys out there with Schatz's budget. And note....I didn't say Schatz wasn't a hell of a driver. His own teammate Kinser didn't have the same budget as Schatz when he was running full time for Smoke.  Take Donny away from that crew and car, and he would not do what he's doing with near the dominance.  You say take him away from the car and put him in a KKR car or Larson-Marks car.....hell, they have nearly the same budgets and they are the only ones that are a nightly threat. Some sacrifice that would be! LOL! Did Steve dominate without Karl the same way he did with Karl. No. It's a team thing...and the teams with the most money win. Karl had the sponsorship money (and he was Karl). Pretty simple.
