That's tough to call. Shane Stewart was pretty quick this season and the KKR duo of Sweet and Pittman was always tough. Where I think Schatz' talent really stands out is at knoxville. You get everyone there. It's the best of the best, but nobody can beat him. That drive from the B in I think 2013 was amazing.
