SCHATZ MAKES IT THREE STRAIGHT
 
New Richmond, Wis. _ Donny Schatz spent quite of few nights racing at Cedar Lake Speedway early in his career. On Sunday, he added a Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint series victory  to his racing accomplishments. Schatz piloted the Tony Sttewart Racing (TSR) No 15 Amor All J&J to his third consecutive win and his sixth WoO triumph in the month of June.

Schatz and the TSR team will return to action on Thursday at Huset's Speedway before heading to Riverside Intl. Speedway and Tri-State Speedway, for events on Saturday and Sunday. 

SCHATZ CHARGES FROM 11TH TO SCORE WIN NUBMER 11

GRAND FORKS, ND - Donny Schatz made the North Dakota fans happy on Friday night at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. The Fargo resident scored a popular win coming from the 11th starting position in Friday night's Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint series 40-lap feature event.

Schatz methodically worked his way forward en route to his 11th victory of the season, eight of which are WoO features.  With five laps remaining, race leader Jason Meyers and second place runner Kerry Madsen made contact and stopped in turn two opening the door for Schatz, who worked his way to third. On the restart, Craig Dollansky made a move for the lead, but Schatz regained command and went on to pick up the win.

"This Armor All team did a great job tonight," said Schatz, following his fifth victory in June. "We had some adversity in the heat race, but we just kept digging deep and everything worked out. What a great crowd we had tonight and I hope everyone enjoyed the show.  Hopefully tomorrow we can do it again in Fargo."

Schatz and the Tony Stewart Racing team will look for a "Duel in the Dakotas" sweep on Saturday night at Red River Valley Speedway.

FARGO, N.D. (June 25, 2008) - For Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Series star Donny Schatz, the focus is always on his next race. Having raced close to 100 nights a year on two continents for the past 10 years, his time to look back is limited. The competitor in him simply won’t let anything he’s accomplished distract him from what he next wants to achieve.

The people that surround the two-time defending WoO Sprint Series champion recognize that he’s attained lofty status during his 15-year racing career that started when a then-15-year-old kid from Minot, N.D., simply had a dream. On Wednesday, Schatz was honored by the North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association as recipient of its 2008 Dakota Award, annually given to a North Dakotan excelling outside the state.

INDIANAPOLIS (June 24, 2008) – The ability to handle pressure can sometimes be the difference between winning and losing. Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Donny Schatz thrives under pressure and his consecutive Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Series championships are proof.

Returning home to compete for most athletes typically escalates the pressure. And for Schatz, this week’s WoO Series slate is a homecoming, of sorts, with three events in familiar territory beginning Friday night at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., followed by Saturday’s race at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, N.D., and concluding Sunday at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis.
