BROWNSBURG, Ind. (June 12, 2023) – Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing may not have been victorious in their two-day visit to Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, but their effort was just as impressive, and also motivating, highlighting their trip with a ninth-place score on Friday, June 9, doing so with a hard-fought punch from row eight. In fact, the ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion secured the evening’s Hard Charger Award for his efforts, simultaneously bumping his top-ten tally to 15 on the season.
Although not in the top ten, Schatz’ Saturday effort at the Sprint Car Capital of the World was also highlighted with a strong feature rally, this time blasting ahead from row ten to finish 12th.
A five-spot rally during heat race competition propelled Schatz into Friday’s A-Main, advancing from ninth to finish fourth. The following evening, Schatz finished fifth during the program’s heat, starting in the exact same position.
With all results considered, the Fargo, North Dakota, native remains fifth in the World of Outlaws driver championship standings, a mere-40 points shy of overtaking fourth from Shark Racing’s Logan Schuchart.
