Donny Schutz and his chief mechanic, Ricky Warner, have been together longer than any other current team in WoO. That is certainly part of it. As noted, they have used the same chassis manufacturer, motor supplier and shock supplier for the last several years as well. They show up well prepared, they work very well as a team and they don't make mistakes. They RARELY beat themselves.

One last thing....take nothing away from Donny Schatz as a driver. He is excellent at reading the track and finding where it has the best grip. He will adjust his line as needed to make his car work best. Is he the best ever? History will decide, but IMO he is certainly in the top 5 for winged cars.
