Good run by Donny Schatz at I-55 to pick up the win.  And a wide angle would have captured the win.

He won again without Ricky? Impossible.

Ricky was busy in Texas helping Rico to a 7th place finish. 

Remember Ricky is what made Donny great!  Not the other way around!  Period end of discussion.

Nope not true he had double digit winning seasons before Ricky. What was Ricky's big accomplishments before he was with Donny. Your just too pigheaded to believe anything else. But that's ok keep saying the stupid shit you always say so everyone else can roll their eyes and laugh at you.

So why hasn't he made Rico unbeatable? Or the drivers he worked with before Donnie? The world wonders.

Eliason grabbed a top 10 over in the High Limit race last night.

Give him a few more weeks with his new mechanic before making and judgements.  

Finally Shatz is running a tad better than he has since losing Ricky.  It is about time!   But he still isn't going to set the world on fire!

If Schatz keeps this up, he could win his second Knoxville Nationals and his second Kings Royal without Ricky.

Not surprising how one wannabe know it all can turn a nuanced, multi-faceted discussion into a black & white argument

Several factors at play here & we've been over this before: Age, Ford engine, crew chief

Clearly a team needs a good driver and crew chief both. I think Donnie would win more with Ricky (& a Chevy????????)

Who's to say?

I used to root against him, but I'm glad he won!

Probably not....but there is about a less than 5 percent chance of that happening.

Shuttlesworth has made his reputation in Pa not on the road. This will be all new for him and so will be a lot of the tracks. I'm glad for him and he deserves a shot with his success here but on the road is unproven.

I bet you said that last year and the year before.

"At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.  Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.  I award you no points, and my God have mercy on your soul."  

So, you'll give me 20-1 odds?  I'll take it.  

If somehow, someone let you be an oddsmaker you would be in serious trouble. Probably hung by your toes.

Every once in a while a blind mouse finds some cheese too.

Apparently blind squirrels are allowed to post on this message board.

Shuttleworth is a very capable crew chief,  you guys overlook one thing when comparing what RW and DS accomplished together. DS, definitely declined when RW had his health issues.  The biggest factor not one of you has brought up. Donnie is a better driver than Rico. I like Rico a lot, he races clean and if things are right he can park it in victory lane. But,  that's where the comparison ends, Donnie is by far the superior driver.
