It takes a good crew chief. Steve had Karl, Donny had Ricky. For the majority of there victories at knoxville that's who was turning the wrenches. Can Donny do it again, yes, but the odds of that happening are low I think.

No doubt a good crew chief is needed. Great drivers attract great rides and with those great rides come great wrenches. Donny didn't need Ricky to have his hall of fame career. If Ricky never lays a wrench on Donny's car, Donny's in the hall of fame and in Nationals victory lane multiple times. (actually, he was anyways) Ricky crewed for a multitude of other cars and drivers and if I'm not mistaken, never won a Nationals or WoO championship with any other, correct? (I could be wrong, but I don't recall) Seems to me the main factor in this equation is Donny. I love the attention the wrenches get for their work and respect it greatly. However, for me, the best drivers in the world attract the best wrenches-------but it all starts, and ends, with the guy behind the wheel.

I agree, he can't pull Ricky off the shelf this year and say make me handle better. I remember saying when he wo his 10th... The first 10 came easy the next 2 he will have to work a lot harder to get.
