BROWNSBURG, Ind. (May 25, 2020) – Donny Schatz’ weekend visit to I-55 in Pevely, Missouri, was complete with success, as well as perseverance, not only earning back-to-back top-ten finishes with the Greatest Show On Dirt, but ultimately capping his weekend with an impressive rally from a provisional starting position – 25th on the grid – to finish eighth at the end of 40 circuits.
Battling his way to tenth by lap 30, the Fargo, North Dakota-native was forced to utilize a World of Outlaws provisional after missing a transfer position in the evening’s Last Chance Showdown. To make matters more difficult, a substandard qualifying effort forced Schatz to race in one of two non-qualifiers races; he rallied from seventh to earn a spot in a heat race.
Schatz kicked-off his weekend on the highbanks of I-55 with a seventh-place score on Friday after starting 11th. A third-place finish during his respective heat race secured Schatz’ main event starting spot.
The pair of top-ten outcomes propelled the ten-time World of Outlaws champion to third in the championship chase; Schatz entered the weekend fourth in the Series standings.

Most recently, Schatz earned a World of Outlaws victory at Lake Ozark Speedway during a visit in 2018. The $10,000 triumph was the product of row two, taking command with a big move on lap seven and never looking back.
