Schatz wins the Eldora double

Schtaz winning night 2 @ Eldora

ROSSBURG, Ohio (May 9, 2015) . Over the weekend of May 8 and 9 the World of Outlaws and the USAC Sprint teams laid their power right across the mighty Eldora clay. Donny Schatz and his Bad Boys Buggies/Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing team took their first Eldora win in 6 years .The Mothers Day weekend of racing took Schtaz wins to 8 for the season. Schatz and Tony Stewart once again highlighted just how far ahead of all the other teams they are .
The ability that the TSR/Donny Schatz team has to maintain reliability, adapt to differing track conditions anywhere and of most importance the talent and luck to miss the carnage resulting from the high speed racing accidents that are a feature of the give no quarter racing that is the Outlaws .. The ability of his racing crew to prepare race cars that rarely if ever fail to finish. Winning is something but their race management when conditions and car speed are not where they want it shows as they gather championship points every time they hit a race track

Schatz heading out at Eldora

Twenty 23 events to date in 2015 and Schatz with 8 wins and 20 top 10 finishes . In 2014 in 91 events Schatz had 80 top 10 and 23 wins .With the additions of Rico Abreu , Christopher Bell, the Posse ,the Ohio Boys and the Californians all together make it difficult to cross the Outlaw stripe first .The Schatz achievements are forging a legend that will surpass any Outlaw achievement .
Two 30 lap A Mains and Schatz lead for all but the first 13 laps of the first night at Eldora. Apart from the time Kerry Madsen was in command Schatz was untouchable as his raced past the stripe twice at Eldora’s Mother of all Sprint events.
Outside of Schatz the big result over the weekend was the best ever 2nd place finish by Garry Taylor on night two. Australian Jamie Veal worked his way onto the front row with Schatz after a strong second in the dash .Chasing Schatz early and after sharing a possible podium position with Taylor Veal fell back and finished in 9th but ahead of some big names like Bell, Stewart and Sweet.
Schatz after his two wins had this to say “”To not have the wins at Eldora, we love to win at Eldora – to get two here this weekend is awesome,” Schatz said. “The track was so good. It could carry so much speed. The times were way down there. I don’t remember the last time you could run around that quick at Eldora in the whole feature.”
