Out of the remaining USAC sprint car races this season,what percentage do you think these three will win.It will be very difficult for anyone to win a USAC sprint car feature this season other than one of these three.Agree or disagree.

Seems to be a changing of the guard.

David, that's a real strong theory, and for the most part, it's hard to disagree but I will submit a couple options for victory lane. I've not yet given up on the all time USAC sprint car winner,DD to find his way to the checkers first. I think Hunter percent will win again this season, probably would have won twice already had he not biked it at the burg. Last year's champ is going to make some appearences in the 63 car, and I'm sure Brady will make his presence known. Plus you can't ever count out the throttle at Gas or Kokomo, much like Short or Cummins at Bloomington and Haubstadt. So while I agree, the 3 you mentioned are on fire, I think this could be an exceptional year for our beloved USAC sprint cars

I think the amount of winners could end up being a lengthy list, but I do agree those three will be tough to beat. I'll try to throw out some names not yet mentioned. It seems T-Mez is doing more wing racing, but I find it hard to believe he won't grab a couple USAC wins. Leary is a candidate to win one. I could see Andretti and McGhee breaking through for wins. Chase Stockon seems to be known for consistency more than anything, but he should get some victories. I'd put money on KTJ to win at least one of the USAC shows at Kokomo this year considering he nearly unstoppable there last season. Courtney also hasn't been mentioned yet.

It does certainly appear those three will be the lead trio through the season, but I'm sure some of these other guys will beat them every now and then. Hoping we get to see a close points battle between the three that isn't decided until Perris.

I agree that those 3 above guys mentioned are going to be hard to beat but there's a Laundry list of drivers trying the hardest to win night in and night out! Darland, Stockon, B.Short, Cottle, Cummins, T-Mez, KTJr, Leary, Schuerenberg, Shunshine all these drivers have tasted Victory lane in the past and you know they are hungry as ever. Look how much Jarrett Andretti has improved over the last 2 years you gotta believe it all comes together one night and he see's victory. Judging by what we have seen so far this season this going to be one for the record books. Let's all just enjoy the magical ride that these drivers take us on night after night!

Short, Short, Cummins, Stockon, For sure. I think the bro show may pull one out as well. There's way to much talent today to just count three. 100% looks fast this year as well.

It might take a race our two but i would think that you might see the madman Robert Ballou motorsport team in victory lane some time this racing season. Thanks.
