Danny won at Brushcreek today making it 41 years in a row he's won at least one feature event. I'd say he's earned that spot in the HoF.

That is a very impressive achievement. Not many can claim they have equalled anything like that in their career. Danny Smith is one deserving hall of famer and a super great guy. Congrats and hopefully next year the streak grows to 42.

Well done Danny. I think Bobby Unser holds some type of record like that with USAC

Bobby Unser is the only driver to win a USAC-sanctioned race in 5 different decades!

Always been a fan of Danny. I remember seeing him race at Bloomington Speedway when he was skipping his high school prom to be there.

I agree completely that Danny is a hall of fame driver. Probably one of the best ever. Could do it with and without the wing. Congratulations to him on the victory and hope he keeps the streak alive for years to come

Both of these feats are Badaz...anyone have a list of the 41years of wins???

Can someone explain the Unser deal to me??? Pikes Peak USAC sanctioned in the 50s? Fastmasters in 93?

Correct. Bobby Unser's first USAC win was in 1956 at Pikes Peak. Last win was the final Fastmasters race at IRP in 1993.
