Hmmm...interesting bc the definiton of "best" is certainly subjective. Also, are we talking this calendar year or just in general? Do we include guys like Larson and Bell or are we talking full time drivers. Anyway, here are some thoughts (not including Larson and Bell):
Dale Blaney (not so much in 2017), Bill Balog, Brian Brown, Madman, DD, Hodnett (not so much in 2017), Lucas Wolfe, Kemenah, Justin Henderson (though his year is in limbo), Dobmeier, Macedo, Sam Hafertepe (360), Rico, The Dude, Ian Madsen (having a good 2017), PPM, JMac, Veal...
Up and Coming: DJ Netto, Gio Scelzi, Cory Eliason, Thomas Kennedy (360), Ryan Bernal, Justin Grant (NW), Ryan Smith...
Underrated: Cole Duncan, Lucas Wolfe (prior to this year), Shane Golobic, Ryan Smith...

The team that has been consistently "outlaw fast"" almost everywhere they've been this year is Kerry Madsen.
Brother Ian, Brown and Lance are probably in the next tier, threats to win at tracks they're good.
Rico is a little off this year but in the running when he's good.

Really ?? Hafertepe ??
What has he done that has impressed you outside the ASCS ?? But if you are basing your decision on how he's running with the ASCS, then you have to throw Aaron Reutzel into the list. Those 2 drivers are carrying the ASCS.
Up and coming, at this point Buddy Kofoid name could be dropped. Gio made a pretty impressive showing with the ASCS at the Grizzly Nationals.

I'd have to say that the clear favourite is Kyle Larson by a landslide. All the other guys mentioned run 60-100 sprint car races a year whereas Larson only gets to run a few sprint car races every year and every single time he gets behind the wheel he seems to be amazing.
Also, Gio Scelzi is definitely one to keep an eye on in terms of up and coming talent. Look at his victory lane pictures - He's just a little kid and he's already phenomenally talented at just 15-16 years old.

The Mad Man is No. 1 in my book. Kind of ironic that he hasn't won at Knoxville yet this year. I'd put his brother up there as well.

good list, just wanted to point 1 thing out...
5 of these 8 drivers have been former WoO full tour drivers, that's why they are who they are! To be the best, you must run with the best

Of course I am biased because I live in California, but no one mentioned our former King of California Carson Macedo! He can win anywhere he races and has been winning lately in his Ohio based ride. We truly have some amazingly talented drivers who have come from our CA bull rings such as Kyle Larson, Tim Kaeding, Brad Sweet, Rico Abreu and of course our younger "Central Valley Posse" as I call them. The Central Valley Posse consists of Carson Macedo, Cory Eliason, Gio and Dominic Scelzi, DJ Netto, Mitchell Faccinto, and I know I am forgetting someone. Shane Golobic is also great and is very versatile. Buddy Kofoid is a great young driver! We have a wonderful new Sprint Car Challenge 360 series that has about 60 cars and also the KWS 410 series which is lead by Bud Kaeding.
Looking forward to the new Golden State King of the
West series schedule!
Winged sprintcars = the fastest and most exciting
racecars on dirt!

Although I'm going to sound like I'm bashing the west coast but I know many fast drivers have came out of that state but until they prove themseleves in the Midwest I don't really think highly of them because I hear most of them doing big things like gio scelzi but he i never heard his name really when the outlaws came earlier this year maybe but i don't pay attention to the west coast sprint car scene so I probably sound stupid

I don't believe Gio was running the 410 yet during the Outlaw swing through Cali. I hope he has it in for the second WoO swing through Cali, be interesting to see how he competes. Also yeah I didn't even realize nobody mentioned Carson. Get to see him plenty between Fremont/Attica/Wayne County tracks. I believe Macedo won two races in IL with MOWA and then MOWA/IRA co-sanction, and then placed 3rd after leading for about half of the race at Mansfield that Sunday as well in the Helms #17. Also got a 10th in the 17 at Lernerville, He'll be driving the Helms family 17 car through the I-79 Shootout for the All Stars and see where it goes from there.
