2021 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Championship Standings: Fourth | 3640 points [152 points behind championship leader, Brad Sweet]

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (June 1, 2021) – Despite Mother Nature throwing a wrench in plans to visit Terre Haute Action Track on Friday, May 28, Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing utilized the extra off days to actively prepare for their upcoming visit to Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, on Monday, May 31. 

Although the Memorial Day visit to the Lawrenceburg highbanks did not result in a Schatz victory, the 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 did manage to secure his 19th top-ten result of the year with the Greatest Show On Dirt, ultimately finishing eighth on a “giddy up” race track after starting in the exact same position. The ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion kicked-off his evening in southern Indiana with the fifth-fastest time overall, followed by a third-place run during his respective heat race. 

Kerry Madsen, continuing his substitution for Tony Stewart aboard the Rush Truck Centers/Advance Auto Parts/Curb Records/Ford Performance/Digital Ally/Sage Fruit/FloRacing/Absolute Automation and Security/Hunt Brothers Pizza/Mobil 1/Carquest Auto Parts/J&J Auto Racing/No. 14 sprint car, joined Schatz at Lawrenceburg Speedway on Monday evening and finished fifth; the result of an impressive climb from the outside of row seven. 

Like Schatz, Madsen qualified within the top-ten, ninth overall, and eventually secured his place on the feature lineup with a sixth-place run during heat race competition. 

Still on the hunt for World of Outlaws win number 300, as well as an 11th Series championship, Donny Schatz will continue his 2021 World of Outlaws campaign with a trek to much familiar territory. The Fargo, North Dakota-native will kick-off the upcoming weekend with a visit to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota, on Friday, June 4, followed by a stop at Granite City Motor Park in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, on Saturday, June 5.

Schatz will enter the weekend fourth in the WoO title chase, trailing two-time champ and current leader, Brad Sweet, by 152 markers.
