Make It Nine for Donny Schatz with Dominant FVP Knoxville Nationals Victory
Schatz scores his ninth Nationals win in ten years and 23rd World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory of the season
KNOXVILLE, Iowa – Aug. 15, 2015 – Donny Schatz‘s domination of the FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Store continued Saturday night as he led wire-to-wire in the 55th running of the event and won his ninth Nationals title in ten years.
The Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing driver was the top point earner coming into the final feature and started on the pole. Through 50 laps he skillfully worked the half-mile Knoxville Raceway to hold the fast line and fend off challenges. Though Danny Lasoski and Kerry Madsen made attempts, Schatz was in a league all his own.
With pyrotechnics ablaze behind him, Schatz stood on the back of his No. 15 Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance/J&J Auto Racing car and celebrated among his team members, friends and family and again claimed the $150,000 Knoxville Nationals prize.
