I've never been accused of being the smartest kid in my class, heck not even close. But I would like to try and understand some of our most devoted sprint car fans way of thinking. If you don't mind, take a few minutes and seriously give me your thoughts.
Inquiry #1
Please list what you consider are the top (20) winged sprint car drivers in the country. I don't care about race track, areas of the country, etc. just list them in the order of who you feel is todays best on down thru 20th.
This is a (2) part inquiry and after we get a number of responses I will proceed with part #2. Thank you in advance. Class is now in session. LOL...z

If we're talking full-timers, I'd say the following based off consistency and a mix of historical/current results:
Donny Schatz
Daryn Pittman
Danny Lasoski
Dale Blaney
Paul McMahan
Greg Hodnett
Joey Saldana
Kerry Madsen
Brian Brown
Terry McCarl
Don Kreitz Jr.
Shane Stewart
Tim Kaeding
Lance Dewease
Brad Sweet
Jonathan Allard
Ian Madsen
David Gravel
Cody Darrah
Bill Balog
I'm sure I forgot someone but I feel pretty good about this list - honestly, Schatz is so far above that the rest of the list is just close to what I feel. Hard to really rank them without more knowledge of what the criteria is. Also, you have to make some assumptions - otherwise how do you compare a guy like Brian Montieth to Bill Balog? It's tough. Tried to balance between the regions as much as possible. Very interesting question and I fully expect someone to disagree with this list.

yungwun24,
The idea behind my madness is to place them in order of how you would rank them. It doesn't do my "study" any good to simply list them in no particular order. Sorry, you receive a D-, please reconsider. LOL...z

If you asked 10 different people who the 2nd best sprint car driver right now is, I truly wonder how many different names you would get.
I also believe that (if there was no peeking at other people's lists) it would take a village until you get the identical 20 names from 2 people.
