Bio

The 2026 season will be Donny Schatz's 30th on the road with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars, and there isn't much left for this living legend to accomplish.

Ten championships. Eleven Knoxville Nationals. Six Kings Royals. Six National Opens. And many, many more triumphs highlight Schatz's résumé on the way to his current tally of 316 World of Outlaws wins (third most all-time). The 48-year-old has already firmly carved out his place on the Mt. Rushmore of Sprint Car racing.

This year will signal the start of a brand new chapter for Schatz as he unites with CJB Motorsports. Renowned crew chief Barry Jackson will turn the wrenches on the Chad Clemens-owned No. 15. CJB is no stranger to success with The Greatest Show on Dirt, racking up 52 victories since forming in 2005.

Schatz was born in Minot, North Dakota, in 1977. He began racing go-karts at a young age, and quickly showed his talent for the sport. In 1993, he won the WISSOTA Sprint Car Rookie of the Year award. The following year, he won the WISSOTA National Championship.

And if Schatz' abilities behind the wheel of a race car aren't enough, he's got some talent in the air as well being a licensed pilot.
