SCHATZ SECOND AGAIN IN BRISBANE
BRISBANE - After finishing second for the third consecutive night,
reigning Knoxville Nationals champion Donny Schatz proclaimed, "The big
moneys up for grabs tomorrow night, so Id rather be good tomorrow
night than tonight."
The driver of the Monte Motorsport No. W17 KRE-powered J&J bounced
back from a tough beginning of the night, when he qualified 20th, by
racing to second in the 20-lap preliminary A-Main of the Australian
Open at Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway.

SECOND PLACE RUN MOTIVATES SCHATZ
BRISBANE - Donny Schatz wants to win. No matter what race it is. The
four-time World of Outlaws champion won his first race in Australia,
but has some up one position short the last two times he's competed at
Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway in Brisbane, Queensland.
"We just put ourselves in bad spot with qualifying," admitted Schatz
following Wednesday night's third annual Capalaba Wreckers Sprintcar
Cup. "We got up to (eventual winner) Robbie (Farr) there with a few to
go and kind of ran out of racetrack. We've got two more nights to go
and we won be happy with anything but a couple of wins."

SCHATZ OFF TO FAST START IN BRISBANE
BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND - This year's Australian tour is off to fast start
for five-time Knoxville Nationals champion Donny Schatz. Each of the
last 14 years, the Sprint car racing standout has spent part of his
offseason competing in the land down under. This year's trip has him
stationed in the beautiful Surfer's Paradise region and competing at the
Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway.
Schatz won the main event on Boxing Day (December 26) in his debut at
the quarter-mile facility after establishing the fastest lap in
qualifying. On Sunday, he thrilled the capacity crowd by electing to
start 14th after winning the dash event. He had his hands full early
in the main event dropping back a few spots, but came on like a rocket
in during the latter stages of the race. He would come up just short of
making it two wins in two nights by finishing second to fellow American
Shane Stewart.

SCHATZ LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS AUSTRALIAN GETAWAY
Four-time World of Outlaws Champion to Race Five Times at Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway
FARGO, N.D. (Dec. 20) - For the most part professional athletes are
always searching for competition. As if a 10-month racing season that
included more than 70 races wasnt enough action, four-time World of
Outlaws (WoO) Sprint car series champion Donny Schatz is set to travel
halfway around the world for more seat-time.
Were just very lucky to be involved in a sport where we get to do
something like this, admitted Schatz, who recently finished his 15th
season of competition with the WoO. Ive been really fortunate to
spend quite of few Christmas holidays in Australia and being able to
see a lot of the friends Ive made over here through the years is
something I look forward to.
