Racing’s Donny Schatz Eyes Victories in the Armor All J&J
As the World of Outlaws Tour Continues Through South Dakota and Nebraska
INDIANAPOLIS
(July 1, 2009) – One of the critical factors that helped Donny Schatz
earn the 2008 World of Outlaws (WoO) championship was where he finished more
than half of the races. On 33 different occasions, he finished in first or
second place over last year’s 64-race WoO schedule. During this
year’s WoO schedule, the Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) driver has continued
to pace the field with 13 top-two finishes.
Twice last year, he finished second at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D.,
where Schatz will lead the Outlaws into action on Friday night. On Saturday
night, the three-time and defending Outlaw champion will look to add the 27th annual Eagle Nationals crown to his distinguished list of accomplishments.

Schatz piloted the Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) No. 15 Armor All/Chevy/ParkerStore J&J in the World of Outlaws final stop at Knoxville before the Knoxville Nationals in August.
Schatz started the night by qualifying fourth in the field of 41 cars and drove to victory in the fourth heat race. By drawing the 10 for the Crane Cams Dash, the three-time defending champion had his work cut out for him. He moved up five spots in the six-lap dash and worked his way from the fifth starting spot to second in the 25-lap feature event.

finish in the Missouri High-Banked Nationals on Friday night. Schatz started
