Awesome. Good for Donnie. He is an all time great 

In only ONE form of race car, and only dirt. With Donny finishing 8th at Lawrenceburg, and Larson winning.

[Rajflyboy]

As of February he has 299 OUTLAW wins. 3rd all time. He has the math to back it up 👍

[lurker]

Those are weak wins, against weak competition. Donny will never be Indiana’s own Steve “the KING” Kinser ----- 20 Time WoO Sprint Champion.

[lurker]

690 WoO wins too!

I love Donnie Schatz but the overwhelming majority of his wins have come in winger cars. I don't give a dam what kind of math you want to apply he hasn't won much at all in any other type racecar. THAT is undeniable.

He tried his hand at The Chili Bowl a few years ago and wasn't all that impressive in a midget. I was there and he wasn't in a class with Larson, Bell or Rico.

Again, very impressive in a winger but other than that, not so much. Larson on the other hand.........

And if memory serves me correctly, it was a Dan Daum entry, sister car to Son, Zach. Good equipment.

I’m not a Donnie fan but his record is undeniable. A lot of his wins did come against top talent. Winged cars are the top level of dirt track sprint car racing. That’s how it is and how it will always be.

[CIRF]

Not positive but I believe you're correct, lurker. I'm working on memory but I believe Schatzy missed The Chili Bowl A-main by a couple positions in the B.

Schatzy is undeniably a standout in the wingers just as bloomy is/was a standout in the dirt late models but when a driver wins races in virtually everything he drives against the best competition in the country that supersedes a one division stand out. I'm really not sure what is so difficult to understand other than a basic biased dislike you carry. Is it because Larson is 1/2 Japanese? Is it because he beats the best wingers and DLM guys while only running a handful of races? Gotta' be something like that because your rational is clearly skewed.

Chili bowl is just a filler event in the middle of winter when there is nothing else to do

More irrational bias.

The Chili Bowl is the biggest and best dirt race of the year, and you know it, and that's why you hate it, and that's why you're pissed!! LOLOL!

You still haven't answered the questions as to why all that irrational hatred for Larson. Do you have a deep seated dislike for Japanese people?

[Rajflyboy]

I have a Larson shirt and like him. He is exciting but the math doesn’t add up to him being the best ever race at driver at this point in time. For me the Chili bowl has always been a winter time filler event. Nice to have some racing in January.

[CIRF]

Math does not enter into the equation unless it applies to the number of totally different types of racecars Larson has driven and won while driving.

Just admit it, Larson is the best all around dirt driver on the planet today. If you admit it you'll set yourself free! Try it, it will help, I assure you! LOL!!

You are convincing no one because your math BS not only doesn't fit the narrative but it doesn't apply in this case, at all! Here's some math for you, I count, off the top of my head Larson has won driving at least 10 different types of race cars/trucks on both dirt and asphalt. Now there's some math for you!!

[Rajflyboy]

You nuts 😜
