2021 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Championship Standings: Fourth | 6554 points [228 points behind championship leader, Brad Sweet]
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (July 26, 2021) – Although not victorious, ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion and current title contender, Donny Schatz, was all over the top-five during the recent World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series stretch through the Keystone State, kicking things off with a runner-up score in Lernerville Speedway’s Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup on Tuesday, July 20, followed by fourth and third-place finishes, respectively, during Williams Grove Speedway’s annual Summer Nationals on Friday and Saturday, July 23-24.
Schatz, driver of the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing/Carquest Auto Parts/Curb Records/Ford Performance/Sage Fruit/Digital Ally/Advance Auto Parts/Rush Truck Centers/Absolute Automation and Security/Hunt Brothers Pizza/J&J Auto Racing/No. 15 sprint car, started sixth in the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup and advanced four spots in 40 laps, battling with Aaron Reutzel and David Gravel late before attempting to chase down Brad Sweet for the win. Unfortunately, Schatz’ time ran thin, forced to settle for second and missing an eighth Silver Cup crown.
After a two-spot jump from sixth to open Summer Nationals action on Friday, Schatz turned the corner and finished one spot better during the weekend finale on Saturday, leading the first 20 circuits of the $20,000-to-win program before losing command to eventual winner Brent Marks, then second to Wooster, Ohio’s Sheldon Haudenschild.
The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series will return to the state of New York for the first time in three years during the coming weekend. The doubleheader takes The Greatest Show On Dirt to Ransomville Speedway on Friday, July 30, then to Weedsport Speedway on Saturday, July 31.
Donny Schatz will enter the New York double fourth in the World of Outlaws championship chase, padded by one victory and 35 top-ten finishes in 49 Series starts. Including the trio accomplished in Pennsylvania, the Fargo, North Dakota-native has finished inside the top-five on 26 separate occasions.
