FARGO, N.D. (July 11, 2024) – Donny Schatz is most known for his clean driving, winning, but perhaps most importantly, his unbeatable consistency. His past record at Wilmot has displayed that consistency as the 10-time World of Outlaws champion has not finished outside of the top 10 since the series debuted at the track in 2006.
Schatz’s average finish at Wilmot is an impressive 4.2 over 11 events. More impressively, his average finish over the last five years is an even three. That stretch includes his lone win at the speedway, which came on July 13, 2019 where he started on the pole and led all 40 laps.
The Outlaws were in action last night at Beaver Dam Raceway for the Jim Boyd Memorial make-up. It was a night of adversity for Schatz. After digging a hole early in qualifying, Schatz battled through the field in his heat race to earn a hard-fought position the in dash.
After drawing the eight pill in the heat, Schatz started the 40-lap, $20,000-to-win feature from seventh. Schatz slid back early on in the going, running in 11th at one point, but the Fargo, N.D. driver rallied back to finish eighth.
Going into this weekend, Schatz is currently second in the standings, 62 points behind David Gravel.
