CHILLICOTHE, Ohio – Aug. 21, 2015 – Josh Richards kept his recent World of Outlaws Late Model Series hot streak rolling Friday night with a convincing victory during the first of the national tour’s back-to-back nights of racing at Atomic Speedway.

Richards, the three-time WoO LMS champion from Shinnston, W.Va., overtook race-long leader Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., on lap 26 of Friday’s 40-lap race at the 3/8-mile oval and drove his Valvoline-sponsored Rocket Chassis house car to his third victory in the past four WoO LMS events.

The $8,650 triumph marked Richards’ seventh WoO LMS win of the season and the 56th of his career. Even more significantly, the victory was Richards’ first at Atomic Speedway.

Late Race Pass Gives Donny Schatz Win at River Cities Speedway

The Win is the 24th World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory of the season for Schatz

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Aug. 21, 2015 – With a late race pass of Paul McMahan at Friday night’s Second Leg of the Northern Tour at River Cities Speedway, Donny Schatz picked up his 24th World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory of the season.

With the hard fought win, Schatz also scored the sweep of series events at the track in 2015. He stood in victory lane when the Outlaws were in Grand Forks on June 19.

“These three guys working on the racecar, they are the ones you should be talking to,” Schatz said. “They’re just incredible. (Driving the late model tonight) kind of threw me off a little because I didn’t get a lot of time to talk to them in between races. They made great calls to try to make things better for me. We finally got our racecar back to where it’s better late in the race and they’ve worked hard to make that happen.”
