BROWNSBURG, Ind. (May 15, 2023) – Ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Donny Schatz, has certainly had his fair share of success in the Keystone State, and although the Fargo, North Dakota, native was unable to pattern his success with a victory, he accomplished the next best thing and left Pennsylvania with a podium score, doing so at the world-famous Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg on Friday, May 12.
Schatz, ace of the Advance Auto Parts, Carquest, Ford Motor Company, Ford Performance, MadJax XSeries, Curb Records, Sage Fruit, Absolute Automation and Security, Hunt Brothers Pizza, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, No. 15 sprint car, finished third in his podium outcome, climbing ahead three spots after starting the Morgan Cup preliminary from the outside of row three. The podium performance increased Schatz’ total at Williams Grove Speedway to an incredible 56, also boosting his recent podium tally three in his last four World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series starts.
The ten-time champ sealed third with six laps remaining, scooting by St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu with a slider through turns one and two. Schatz kicked-off the evening program with a runner-up result during heat race competition.
“We made up some spots,” Schatz said. “That’s what you’ve got to do. The guys just keep taking big swings at it. I just can’t seem to get slowed down when I need to slow down, and I can’t get sped up when I need to go. But we’re digging and working on it. We’re doing a great job. Scuba (Steve Swenson), he’s pulling everything out of the hat he can. They’re doing what they can. It’s a decent run here to get us a decent spot.”
Other recent results for Donny Schatz includes an 11th-place score in Lincoln Speedway’s annual Gettysburg Clash on Wednesday, May 10; he started seventh.
