BROWNSBURG, Ind. (September 18, 2023) – It’s always a battle when the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series comes to the West Coast, especially to California, and for ten-time Series champion and Fargo, North Dakota, native, Donny Schatz, it was a battle, indeed.
Schatz, ace of the Advance Auto Parts, Carquest, Ford Performance, MadJax XSeries, Curb Records, Sage Fruit, Absolute Automation and Security, Hunt Brothers Pizza, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, Mobil 1, Hoosier Racing Tires, VP Racing Fuels, GEARWRENCH, No. 15 sprint car, highlighted his final weekend in the Golden State with a top-ten performance at Kings Speedway in Hanford, California, on Friday, September 15. Accomplished in dramatic fashion, Schatz earned his top-ten score from 22nd on the grid, rallying through the Tom Tarlton Classic field in a hurry before capping the event tenth in the running order. The outcome resulted in Schatz’ 36th top-ten score of the 2023 World of Outlaws season, officially earning the event’s Hard Charger Award for advancing the most feature positions.
Unfortunately for Schatz, ignition issues plagued the Fargo native in his Saturday appearance at Placerville Speedway in Placerville, California. The ten-time champ pulled to a stop on lap six and was ultimately forced to the work area. Schatz returned, but was negated to a 17th-place finish.
