It was that way but not so much anymore. Outlaws would go to track and locals could win but not so likely anymore. Heck even all stars only have couple that can get wins. Been long time since Mark keegan won against woo at Attica. PA has couple cars but they're equivalent to woo teams. They just stay local cause money good vs road. Big difference is sprints been basically same for 20yrs except shocks

Back in the day one of the old time racetracks paid a driver $ 100.00 " roll over money " in the event that they were unfortunate enough to land on their lid. One old boy named " Crazy Eddy " with a 55 Chevy pure stock would roll it over about every couple of weeks for pocket money ! The promoter really didn't mind it because fans really ate it up . He might have gone broke if he was letting the " Bumble Tuggys "run there ! ! ! !

Great story. Thanks for sharing it on here.

Actually, just the opposite. There are a lot more sprint car drivers that are capable of winning the high dollar races.

I think top talent is down in the sprint car world compared to 20 years ago. In my humble opinion. I grew up on sprint cars at Lernerville and loved it back then.

You probably remember the days when Lou Blaney was kickin azz and takin names in his modified and his boys were doin the same in the sprints. Also Lynn Giesler, Davey " Juice " Johnson, and Chub Frank were tearing it up in the late models ?? While munching down on their famous fish sandwiches ? ?

Just my opinion ---- you don’t go to a lot of sprint car races, wing or non-wing.

Just when the outlaws roll through Charlotte. But Charlotte isn’t near as good as it was 15 years ago. I do enjoy our Carolina Sprint tour series. They put on a good show.

That said, you might want to rethink your humblest opinion.

I totally respect Donnie Shatz. I just prefer the Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell and the 1980’s and 1990’s WOO sprint car days.

Which costs more to run on a series. SLM or Sprints?
