Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / TONY STEWART RACING – BROWNSBURG, IN – Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing may have been short of the ultimate goal during their two-race sweep through the Badger State, but their ability to maintain consistency was spot on, concluding Beaver Dam Raceway’s Jim “JB” Boyd Memorial on Friday and Saturday, June 16-17, with back-to-back top-ten finishes, highlighting all of which with a ninth-place run to open competition on Friday.
Schatz, a ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion and a two-time Series winner in 2023, capped his weekend at Beaver Dam with a tenth-place finish in Saturday’s $20,000-to-win finale, bumping ahead two positions from the outside of row six. The Fargo, North Dakota, native is now the owner of 17 top-ten scores this season, maintaining fifth in the overall World of Outlaws driver standings heading into Huset’s Speedway’s High Bank Nationals, which kicks off Wednesday evening, June 21.
As noted, 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, will race into Huset’s Speedway on the tailcoats of two victories this season, each occurring in the Buckeye State. A victory in Saturday’s High Bank Nationals finale would not only add to Schatz’ illustrious resume, but solidify the ten-time champ with the largest payday in World of Outlaws history.
