I cant stand the guy, but back to back Kings Royal...thats impressive, Christopher Bell 20th to 2nd is AMAZING!!

The Crowd Pleaser IS THE BEST ever!

Ryan Smith is Impressive too!

The Crowd Pleaser IS THE BEST ever!

Ryan was good in the Feature and terrible in his heat.  He may have even led it at some point but faded to about 5th....

Would Bell have caught Schatz if he had 10 more laps?

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

When you're able to do something that Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell or Doug Wolfgang hasn't done, you've done something extremely special. Congrats to Donny on yet another historic achievement. The dude is amazing.

Would have been interesting. Donny looked like he was being incredibly patient at the end, likely knowing that he had a huge lead and didn't want to hurt the tires. He probably would have pushed harder the last 10 laps of he knew he had 10 more. He could have lapped a few more cars but kept backing off to be safe.

Like the guy that crowned him, he may have bouts of mediocracy in May and June, but come July and August .......

The dollars are on the line and he lets the team do the talking congrats to the 15 team

I was there and didn't get a good look, but thought that was a premature caution in Donny's heat race, with 2 laps to go Lee Jacabs had a huge lead,although Shatz was so much faster it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome starting deeper in the field. Did anyone else have a better view or watched it on dirtvision?

Seems to be running better in that car than he has in the 59/94 this season but I think he wants to be out with the all-stars instead of running locally. Was actually surprised the 07 team went out to Eldora. I also don't think Coldren is going to get rid of Doug Esh. He's been pretty decent in the car too. Smith and the Coldren team definitely seem to have gelled quickly though.

Just a guess on my part, but I think Coldren likes running local and Smith seems to want to travel a bit more. Having said that, the 07 would probably be the best local ride Smith has had. But I agree I see Esh coming back to that ride. 

The only downside to last night was the F.Q.I. (Fan Quality Index) dropped dramatically from Friday night. Entirely too many 40 year old adolescents, power drinkers, felons, and trustees of modern chemistry. Then there were the idiots standing at the start of the feature which I will never understand.  

However I did enjoy the racingand the track was right as rain.  :)

Unfortunately the Royal brings out some of the worst. I try to spend as much time in the pits as I can when I go to Eldora. 

Nice Roadhouse reference. Tip of the cap to you.

"Hey Steve... You're history."

"But I'm on my break!!"

Nice roadhouse line...... how old are you and much more mature quoting movie lines instead of thinking of self on your own to be cute

The only back to back winner of the Kings Royal is a great accomplishment, for sure. And having his name mentioned with the "Big 3" is deserving (or vice versa...there's with his). Too many have either forgotten, or aren't aware of what Steve, Sammy and Doug did accomplish, and how important they were to sprint car racing in their primes. Donny knows and he acknowledges it. It's just too bad that Wolfie was unable to get in those extra 20 or so years that Steve and Sammy did.

Great post fiXXXer! :)

:) The Double Douche.....

The worst In all of sprint car racing. That with no one on the fence makes it like work. 

Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3 
Kings Royals before a weight rule against the best EVER
in their prime and now DOMINATES super dirt late model
racing is no longer allowed/wanted in a WoO sprint
car.... Was Luna a miracle worker?
