INDIANAPOLIS (April 8, 2015) – One of the most challenging aspects of competing with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series is that no two nights are exactly the same. For the last 18 years, Donny Schatz has been traveling across North America honing his craft on dirt tracks of varying sizes with the best Sprint car drivers in the world. The six-time and reigning WoO champion and driver of the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing’s (TSR) No. 15 Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance J&J will take advantage of that experience with this week’s challenge of first racing at one of the smallest tracks, Placerville Speedway, Wednesday and then taking on one of the bigger tracks on the schedule, Calistoga Speedway, Saturday and Sunday.
Succeeding with the Outlaws takes a number of skills and versatility is a key attribute. Schatz leads the Outlaws to Placerville Wednesday where the series’ hasn’t competed at since March 1992. It’s the first of five tracks on the 2015 WoO schedule where Schatz has yet to compete at during his Outlaw tenure. That won’t be the case at the picturesque Calistoga Speedway, which sits in the heart of California wine country, a track the Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance team has extensive notes on. Schatz is a two-time winner on the sprawling semi-banked, half-mile dirt oval where speed is a major part of the outcome.
