I kind of like the sound of that.

Would seem he is ready to ascend to the top level.  All but won Kings Royal last year & made a hell of a run up thru the field at Knoxville.  Big $ wins just around the corner.  

The way he finished out the last 1/2 of 2019, he has to be one of the favorites to win it all this year.  

Skilled sprint car driver, knows the car inside out. Will be a force to be dealt with for years to come. Came a long way in the last 6 years and now with a top sponsor Sky is the limit for this young man. Wish Logan and Shark racing much success in the months and years to come.

Remarkable indeed!  These guys are proving that you don't have to be born with a silver spoon to make it in big-time sprint car racing.  I think Scruffy gets a lot of credit for finding ways to make it work... just to get to the next race, to get the boys more experience.  He deserves every bit of it... but a lot of credit goes to the boys too for working extremely hard for everything they've earned.  Drydene noticed... 

It is nice to see that name on top. And Jacob times well, wins a few heats and a few dashes, which of course are against the top few at the track that night, but hasnt taken an A main yet, maybe I missed one. What is the missing piece for Jacob? kind of feel sorry for him as he walks the same path as Logan but doesnt get the wins.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

I think Logan is a more talented driver. That said, Jacob has improved a bunch over the past few years & would've had his 1st career WoO win last year at Stockton if he didn't break late in the race. Wins against that competition can be elusive, but his is probably coming soon. 

They need to stay consistent throughout the grind.

Schatz and Sweet finished out of the top 10 only 7 times out of 72 races in 2019. Logan had 19 races out of the top 10.

Not sure if they'll get to even 50 races this year which it even more important to stay consistent and not have mecahnical failures that occasionally plague that team.

Its great, & I'm a big Schuchart fan, but c'mon, how many races have they run?

Its like a guy batting .800 after the first 2 games...

Didn't Sheldon Haudenschild win everything at first a couple of years ago?

But who knows, if the season ever gets going for real, he could win the points..

& he's still Posse

No, it's like the guy batting .800 after 6 games...

Right now Logan has as many wins as Schatz, Larson and Gravel each have, and only has one less win than Sweet has. He has more top 5 finishes than anyone else right now. In fact, he even has 6 times as many top 5 finishes as Schatz has.

OK, thanks for looking that up!

Schatz is another whole discusion at this point

Seen this elsewhere, also keep in mind an OUTLAW is leading the Williams Grove points:  http://www.williamsgrove.com/currentpoints.php

My attempt to poke the (PA) bears....haha

Guys should be taking notes from Bobby. He took 2 kids with limited experience, equipment that was at best being held together with a prayer. Today you see Logan fighting for wins on a consistent basis.  Bobby put all the resources they had into Logan's car first so that they could bring home some much needed cash. I personally witnessed them take the rear tires off Logan's car and  put them on Jacob's for a heat race. Today Jacob is getting better equipment and your starting to see him move up in finishing positions. The virus has cut schedules. It will be interesting to see how he fares this year with equal equipment. No one out there could have done what Bobby Allen has done with what they started with. Scruffy, my hats off to you, you are the man.

You bring up a good point and that did cross my mind already.  However, what makes me feel differently is Logan always drives the car back to the trailer.  Many times, the 17 is coming back on the hook.   Also, when Sheldon came busting out of the gates a couple years back, it was kind of unexpected.  Logan's runs have not surprised me because of how solid he was the last 1/2 of 2019.  

It is a good point though--------only 6 races in.  Before the 2019 season started, there was a thread predicting the finishing order of the Outlaws.  I predicted Logan finishing in 3rd.  I missed by 2 and he wasn't really even close to 3rd.  I don't think 1-3 is a stretch this year at all----certainly not 3rd.  (although there's that Kyle kid that could potentially mix up the top 5) 

Like everyone has stated, from where that team was when it started on tour in 2014, to now, is amazing, Bobby is the man!  Here are some of the numbers.  Been a steady progress, except for 2017, which seemed like a rough year for them...

World of Outlaws Series Stats

Logan Schuchart...

Jacob Allen...

Right, after ONE race!

But check it out! This guy isn't just batting .800, etc. He's batting 1000! I suspect his average will drop a bit after the 2nd race of the season.

Logan is a real good/great driver.  He has all the talent and if he keeps running like he has ove the last couple of season consistently he is going to see really GREAT things happen to him.  He is probably a top 5 sprint car driver in this country.  Hopefully he can keep it going and try not to worry about the championship or points or even money and just drive each and every race to the best of his ability and keep getting wins and stay in the top 5 or 10 to finish.  If he keeps his head in the race and doesnt try to do more than the car can he will be great.  

I also think that (and I hope Im wrong) NASCAR will come calling for him.  I hate to see great Dirt Track talent go to NASCRAP but you cant argue that the MONEY is there.  Thats why he races, I have a gut feeling that Logan will be a WOO Champion in the very near future.  Logan is going places and he will suceed thats the one thing that is for sure

   I'm tickled to see Bobby's bunch run well.  He, obviously, taught them right and that it can be done without a key to the Mint. Although their funding has definitely vastly improved  I'm sure they would still be out on the road just the way Bobby Allen did it decades ago. 

  It's good to see what grit and sheer determination to race can do unlike many of the younger up and comers that, I suspect, will be gone in a few years when daddy's 401K is gone and junior isn't the next Stewart, Larson, Schatz. etc.

   Old school rocks.

Woohoo, great win tonite!

At this moment, Schuchart is DA MAN!
