@@robertpcrowther OMG! Cleanest? Go review what he did to Lynton Jeffries on the front stretch at Knoxville. Listen to commentator Brad Doty's voice when Schatz threw 2 of the most ridiculous slide jobs at Swindell @ the 2010 Knoxville Nationals. Schatz chooses to drive for the Sprint Car Owners equivalent of Charles Manson. And why is he running those Ford + Tony = Fony engines? Cause Chevy won't have anything to do with him.
@@raymond3803wow you sure have a big mouth, comparing Tony Stewart to Charles manson hmmm. The Lyndon Jeffery crash was an accident, Lyndon had a run on the outside, how was schatz supposed to see him up there. You should seriously STFU
Been a life long WoO fan, but really stood up and watched when Ford got back into the game .. Wish more guys would jump on the Ford train too. I don't mind Donny but there's more friendly folks in the pits
Used to watch D.S. at devils bowl back in the day one of my favorite drivers along with Sammy Swindell I remember almost every time I saw karl kinser he was usually underneath with a tiny file taking a little bit off here and there because he figured out for every pound you took off you would gain like 4 more horsepower to me he was the smokey yunick of WoO
You didn't watch Donnie Schatz with Swindell or Karl Kinser. Nobody had heard of Schatz when Karl retired & Swindell was in semi retirement by the time Schatz was making his name & winning. Karl would have never had the fame he had if not for Steve driving. The biggest change in sprints was when Gambler added the diagonal down tubes from the top of the cage to the front end. This stiffened the chassis so much that minimal adjustments on the torsion bars made a difference in handling. I knew Chuck Merrill, founder & owner of Maxim Chassis(less than a mile from my old house in Spfld. IL), & have had beers & dinner with Steve Kinser, his wife & crew so I know a lillte about what I'm talking about.
1:10 *OMG!* Look at that left front torsion arm. The tire has rubbed half-way through it. This comes from being all crossed up sideways in the corners. All out of shape. Driving for a superficial photo-op on a T-Shirt or lunch box.
no critical thinkers in the sport like karl was,they cant even get the front bumper lined up correctly to protect the front wing. experiment,try making it a little bigger. how many guys go to the rear because they tapped the wing because the bumper wasn't effective.
Didn’t know the bumper that protects the torsion bars was supposed to protect the wing which is a foot over top of the wing. How bout they build your style bumper for the top wing also!?!? Just STFU
There are some very smart individuals in the pits area, because of rules packages, the shock program has become the dominant point of interest on sprint cars.
Not all of them are like this guy. An honest and likable guy that didnt let 10 championships go to his head. Go the Fords.
Most likely the cleanest driver out there, you never see him make dirty moves on other drivers!

great video.. i didn't realize how the wing work in different ways
@@Pbeats100 thank you! Its insane how much the wing can make or break a driver’s night
Danny Shatz broke down a sprint car for us in real time on lap 1 of the Nationals 🤣
That car looks new, I suspect it is. Well presented car.

Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
I am in Knoxville lowa
You mean that there’s people who try to cheat on tarr preparation
(don’t say tires, it’s tarrs)?
Schatz talking shock's..

Carman Manzardo set quick time @ WoO show. Go look up what he was driving.

4:00 if you read the rules, front car can’t be bigger, forget the measurement.

Sheesh! Just let bugs crawl all over Donny why don't cha?
😂Those darn lantern bugs were on him for a good bit there lol
