BROWNSBURG, Ind. (March 28, 2022) – After some tough luck in recent weekends, Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing put themselves back on track in a hurry during stops at Bakersfield Speedway and Perris Auto Speedway, eventually capping the weekend with back-to-back top-ten outcomes highlighted with a sixth-place score at Bakersfield on Friday. The ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion drove ahead six positions at the 1/3-mile speed plant, poking his nose within the top-five before slugging it out with Roth Motorsports’ James McFadden on the final circuit.
Schatz, driver of the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, Advance Auto Parts, Carquest, Ford Motor Company, Ford Performance, Curb Records, Sage Fruit, Digital Ally, Absolute Automation and Security, Hunt Brothers Pizza, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, No. 15 sprint car, tried his best to better his outcome the following evening at Perris Auto Speedway but finished tenth, starting the SoCal Showdown in the exact same position. The Fargo, North Dakota, native qualified for feature action with a fourth-place finish during heat race action, doing so Friday as well as Saturday.
The back-to-back top-tens allowed Schatz to bump his season total to seven in ten starts, now seventh in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship standings with only two points separating himself from James McFadden, who is sixth in the standings, and 12 points from Gio Scelzi, who is fifth in the standings.
