2021 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Championship Standings: Sixth | 3090 points [150 points behind championship leader, Brad Sweet]
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (May 17, 2021) – Ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Donny Schatz put together another consistent week for Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, powering the 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 to three straight top-ten finishes with the Greatest Show On Dirt, highlighting all starts with a fifth-place run during Lincoln Speedway’s Gettysburg Clash on Wednesday, May 12.
Before fading to fifth, Schatz led the majority of Lincoln’s annual Clash, utilizing the pole position via dash win to lead the first 11 circuits, then reclaiming the point to command laps 13 through 24. Brent Marks made a move to take command shortly thereafter leaving Schatz to battle with championship contender Brad Sweet for second.
All but causing a lap 28 catastrophe, an out of sorts lapped car nearly spun in front of the leaders causing most of the top five to take evasive action. Despite the chaos, green flag conditions resumed and Schatz was able to maintain third in the running order.
Brent Marks, who lost multiple positions as a result of evasive action, ultimately made a move to get back by Schatz for third. Marks was followed by David Gravel, who slipped by Schatz late to take fourth.
Schatz capped his eventual three-race, four-day weekend through Central Pennsylvania with a pair of eighth-place finishes during Williams Grove Speedway’s Morgan Cup on Friday and Saturday, May 14-15. Each outcome was the result of forward progress, starting 11th and 12th, respectively.
Donny Schatz and Tony Stewat/Curb-Agajanian Racing will continue their 2021 World of Outlaws campaign with a midweek visit to Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Swedesboro, New Jersey, on Tuesday, May 18, followed by an Ohio doubleheader at Attica Raceway Park and Sharon Speedway on Friday and Saturday, May 21-22. Schatz will enter the coming week sixth in the World of Outlaws championship standings, padded by16 top-ten finishes in 23 starts. If the Fargo, North Dakota-native can secure a victory on Tuesday evening at Bridgeport, it would officially bump his World of Outlaws win total to 300.
