Congratulations to Danny Lasoski and his team on victory #100 at Knoxville!!!!!!   Hopefully there are many more in his future.

Congrats and awesome achievement, regardless of the naysayers and uninformed that bash him so much, there are very very few drivers out there that don't wish they could have/had the carreer he has enjoyed!

Back in the early 90's when him & Forbrook owmed the place I looked up who he was running against and that was tough feild of cars. Quite a feat if you research it!

Congrats on 100,10 more in 2014 will be awesome

GREAT job DUDE! A TRUE legend!

100 wins just a drop in the the bucket. Ramer has 169 wins at linchon speedway a tuffer field in pa.

169 wins is truely remarkable, however I'll counter that with the FACT that Lasoski left the porch and was a WoO follower for over a decade during his career (they have both been behind the wheel of a sprint car for roughly the same amount of time).

How about how many races are run @ Lincoln every season (they had (30) nights this season with 410 sprints on the card) versus what Knoxville has ((22) scheduled in 2013, and that included all 4 days of Nationals.  Realistically, you hope you only have to run 2 of those nights)?

Spread that out over 25 years and there are close to 200 more races @ Lincoln than there are @ Knoxville.

So, Fred won 169 times with ~750 races held (22% winning percentage), and Danny won 100 times over ~500 races (if he'd been @ Knoxville EVERY race even when he ran with the WoO) held - 20% winning percentage.  take those 10 years on the road away or figure out of those 10 seasons he probably ended up running maybe 4-7 nights all those years and all of sudden his 100 wins are in ~370 races and that takes him up to 27% winning percentage.

I personally don't care for Danny Lasoski, but the #'s don't lie (and the competition was STOUT during his early years all the way up until now (Mike Brooks, John Stevenson, Doug Wolfgang, Jac Haudenschild*, Randy Smith*, Skip Jackson*, Brian Brown*, Terry McCarl*, Johnny Herrerra*, Kerry Madsen*, Tim Green, Shane Carson, Don Droud, Jr., Mark Dobmeier, Rocky Hodges, Jeff Tuttle, Brent Antill, Dusty Zomer, Travis Cram, Jeff Mitrison, Wayne Johnson, Billy Alley*, Justin Henderson, Brooke Tatnell, Max Dumesny, Ricky Logan, Calvin Landis, Davey Heskin, Lonnie Jensen, TJ Giddings, Scott Ritchart, Bronson Maeschen*, etc., etc.).  All of these drivers (and many more, have WON races while Danny was in competition and those with the * are all track champions during Lasoski's career @ Knoxville. 

It's impossible to compare the competition they raced against unless they all met up somewhere in Ohio and ran races there (guess what, neither the Knoxville teams or the PA teams either one have done much of that).

Well said Vande.

While I am not now, nor ever have been a fan of his,  getting 100 wins at a track with serious competition is a remarkable feat.  I salute him.

Who knows how many he "might have had" if he had not spent so much time on the road.

I'm quite certain he is a lock for the Knoxville hall of fame..if they have such a thing.
