I admit this one surprised me so I didn't know who the four PA drivers were. I'm 100% confident I know who the other three are though.
As for Dewease, I was looking more at the current state of 410 drivers than I was the career. If based much on a career, then Lance absolutely deserves to be on this list as there aren't 24 other drivers with a better a resume than Dewease. Ever since the 461 days he's been the definition of a 'big race driver' ... WG National Opens, Tuscarora 50s, Lowes, etc.

Yeah, that is tripping people up a little bit.
It's 50 percent career, 50 percent current. Big-race wins, championships. All comes into play with this list.

If it's truly 50% current, then there is NO way Lance should be here. Lance is in the stage of his career where he isn't even going to Knoxville for the Nationals. He will struggle to make the upcoming Outlaw shows.

Even though I'm a Dewease fan, no way should he be ahead of Tim Kaeding, based on more recent performances

Not sure how you can amke a list with 50% current and 50% career; seems like it would have to be one or the other. All in good fun I guess.

I have to agree either we are rating at current level or the entire career it cannot be a 50% this may be a fun deal but it is not a true comparison for sure. Just have fun with it and not put much in the results here, much better to argue this then what is posted on here most of the times. Current levels would be much more different then what he has it and a career would have more of drivers most here never got to see race

Well, this is a shock!!! Lancs has done some great things in a sprint car!! Yea he is off. You can never count a guy like Lance out!! This guy cut his teeth with Fred Rahmer!! The two are cut from the same cloth!!
We all know of the year Fred had last year, and the year he is having with Stevie!! maybe next year we will see lance in a Fred Rahmer owned car!!!

Dewease is still planning to go to the Nationals. Also, keep in mind, he is racng with a team that has never run two nights a week for an entire season. This is a work in progress.

Didn't want to do a current list because all you have to do then is look at the national poll. Plus, it would be boring because it would be too easy.

No big wins for Kaeding. That hurt. Still, even making a list like this is pretty good. All of these guys are pretty close and separated by the smallest of margins.

TK did win the Grand Annual in OZ against some of the best including Schatz and Pittman. Since it wasn't on US soil you may not have factored it, but I'd say it's as big or bigger than most races here stateside.

Last I talked to Renee, he wasn't. Hopefully something has changed, or he found a ride for that week?
