Does anyone know how many more wins Dave has to get to become the all-time sprint car winner?? He has to be getting close. Like only 4-7 away. Just curious.

Tracy hines is going to give him some competition.

I dont think regional races count it has to be a national race. Canyon will count as a usac race for the consecutive years winning a race which is now 22

Here's an idea that some younger dedicated race fan might act on.

Pro baseball (http://m.bbref.com) & Pro football (http://m.pfref.com) have websites dedicated soley for stat reference. I'm sure many other sports have a stat reference sites.

I'm just nerdy enough to do this for racing myself but my tail tank is about empty.

Id like to see the history of sprint car racing better organized.

This is the best racing statistic website that I know of: http://racing-reference.info/. However, sprint cars do not have a presence on that site. It would be nice to have some USAC stats out there that are publicly available.

It seems like USAC itself would have a site where this information was available. They have all the records. It would be a great promotional tool.
