I don't believe your stats. Someone on this board is pretty persistent about the fact that Schatz cannot win without Ricky. Therefore, Schatz has not won a race in the past few years. To tell us differently is fake news. 
Meanwhile, Rico has been piling up wins at a pace we've never seen before, although to the average fan, his winning percentage may seem to be about right where it was before. A trained eye can see Ricky has completely changed Rico from the Rico of old, who was usually running towards the front, and a threat to win, to a guy who now is usually running towards the front, and a threat to win. Huge difference that cannot be interpreted without a trained, skilled eye. Ricky takes guys we've never heard of----like Rico---and turns them into legends. It makes me wonder----Should it be Ricky on Mt. Rushmore holding a picture of Schatz?
I looked up Eliason's stats and it doesn't list his King's Royal or Knoxville wins anywhere when he must have won these events----or at least I've been lead to believe he's at that level. I'm assuming these sites have not updated lately.

Lol, you caught me. WingedStrawser can probably fill in the blanks on Cory's crown jewel wins.

Nope, a lot of nights you needed the very wide lense to see Schatz over the past few years and those are facts! He was out to lunch most nights.

Avoiding the question as usual. Rico's career will not come close to Donny's in big races and championships.

The only ones that do are Steve Kinser and of course, Cory Eliason.

how about without ricky? Below are just a few
2019 Trophy Cup (swept all three nights)
2015-2016 Chili bowl
2015 Pepsi Nationals
2014 USAC Midget champion
2021 4 crown Nationals winged winner
2014 Belleville Nationals
2023 15 winged wins (with Ricky)
Guess thats enough for now...
Ascot was the greatest of all time..
West Capital wasn't half bad either..
Life is good...

Good Question ! I don’t exactly consider their 4 High Limit wins to be the Crown Jewels of sprint car racing.
We know that Karl Kinser won Crown Jewels with Steve and Mark. We know that Davy Brown has won many Crown Jewels and also won over 800 races with more than 10 drivers. Philip Dietz has won a Crown Jewel with both Gravel and Macedo. Paul Silva’s cars rarely ever break despite the 57 being raced like bumper cars and a couple years ago 4 different drivers won in the 57 in one season.
No doubt Ricky has had a great career with Donny. Ricky is a Hall of Famer.
But…. Which big races has Ricky EVER won without Donny ?

THE THREAD Was about Rico not winning as much as Rico. Rico has won in many areas to compare with and yes we are talking about midgets and star power...young gun against an older guy.

I think Rico can win as much as Rico. I don't think Rico will hit the 500 wins like Donny Schatz. which is what the thread is about.
