Gravel/Larson had great races this past weekend in California, both on the podium 2 nights.
Great to see Gravel havie a strong beginning for 2022. Only WoO driver so far to finish in the top 10 in all
7races thus far.

Other than Larson, who of course is only part time , I think Gravel is the most talented sprint car driver. He's elevated every car he's driven. I think this is his year to win a crown jewel or 2, 15 races and the championship.

We knew Kyle Larson was special the first time ever watching him race at Placerville when he was 14 years old! There should be no question that Kyle is the best driver in the world of any kind of race car. As far as just raw talent right now in the World of Outlaws the best drivers in my opinion are Brad Sweet, David Gravel, Sheldon Haudenschild and Carson Macedo. All these drivers are in their late 20s and it should be a great season with a close points race I am hoping! Next up some great CA bullrings in Merced Speedway and Ocean Speedway!
Looking forward to the new Golden State King of the
West series schedule!
Winged sprintcars = the fastest and most exciting

Consistency and finishing are keys to winning a WOO championship. A great crew is also key as getting back out to finish when things dont go right. Gravel and Sweet and Schatz have fewest DNFs of top contenders. Larsen will have the highest % of wins to starts but his real paying job comes first.

My top 5 throughout the year will be Sweet, Lil haud, Macedo, Gravel and Logan S. I have been impressed with the 1a early in the year, making dash's and showing some consistency.

I would say Larson is probably the best driver overall in anything he gets. Strictly sprint car wise of all the drivers that race the whole season, I am still saying Sweet is the best. Gravel is right there but I give the edge to Sweet and both will probably battle it out the whole season. Its a long season and 7 races in is just a very small sample size of what the whole season actually will be. All drivers will have adversity and have to do damage control in some races, Gravel & Sweet included so it will be a matter of who does a better job since they will get their wins & podiums. Its a fun time for the sport and to be a fan

I pulling for Sheldon to win his first WOO championship and he's not disapointing.
2 wins and sitting in 3rd
It's way early but you need to be consistant all season so keep 'em coming Sheldon!!!
