KNOXVILLE, Iowa – Aug. 13, 2011 – Donny Schatz wasted little time finding his way to the front of the 51st Goodyear Knoxville Nationals on Saturday night at historic Knoxville Raceway. Normally a driver who excels in the latter stages of a race, the four-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion quickly charged from 13th to fifth, then set his sights on the lead of the $150,000-to-win, 50-lap main event.
