BROWNSBURG, Ind. (October 7, 2024) – Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) are certainly no strangers to Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and although Schatz was unable to attain a seventh National Open title, the Fargo, North Dakota, native put on a show in the two-day/two-race blockbuster, highlighting the event with a hard-fought top-five in Friday’s portion of the program.
Schatz, ace of the Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Ford Performance, Curb Records, Sage Fruit, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, Mobil 1, Hoosier, VP Racing Fuels & Tub ‘O Towels, No. 15 sprint car, finished fifth in the Friday preliminary (actually contested on Saturday afternoon due to Friday night fog), commencing main event action from 15th on the grid.
Despite falling short of earning a second consecutive weekend top-five in the $75,000-to-win National Open finale later that evening, the ten-time World of Outlaws champion did the next best thing and put together another rally, this time improving four spots from 16th to finish 12th.
With all results considered, Schatz and TSR will roll into Lincoln Speedway’s Keystone Showdown on Saturday, October 12, with an impressive 48 top-tens in 58 point-earning starts, 28 of which acquired within the top-five including the aforementioned National Open preliminary.
Schatz is currently third in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship chase, trailing the top spot by 176 markers.
