TSR 15 team look to end West Coast swing on high note

FARGO, N.D. (March 23, 2022) – Coming off a strong DIRTcar Nationals to open the 2022 season, it has been a rough few weeks during the West Coast swing for the Tony Stewart / Curb-Agajanian Racing No. 15 team. 

Schatz has uncharacteristically been involved in a pair of incidents during feature action which has both hurt his finishing position and ranking in the point standings. 

Schatz comes into this weekend’s events at Bakersfield Speedway and Perris Auto Speedway sitting eighth in the standings, 92 points out of the lead after exiting Florida second in the points. 

Last Friday night, Schatz was caught up in a wreck in the early going of the feature at Merced Speedway. While Schatz was able to continue on to finish the race, he had to limp his damaged machine to a 22nd place finish. 

Two more California ovals are on tap this coming weekend, starting with Bakersfield Speedway on Friday night. In three career starts at the quarter-mile oval, Schatz has an average finish of 6.3 with a best run of fifth from 17th in 2016. Most recently, he finished sixth after starting 21st. 

On Saturday, the World of Outlaws head to Perris Auto Speedway. This will be Schatz’s 22nd appearance at the big half-mile. Over his past six starts, he has a stout average finish of 4.7 with just two finishes outside of the top five over the span.
