FARGO, N.D. (May 27, 2025) – The Greatest Show on Dirt is headed north this weekend to the old stomping grounds of 10-time series champion, Donny Schatz. The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series makes its first visit of the season to North Dakota with stops at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks on Friday and Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo on Saturday.
Coming off finishes of 16th and 11th at Attica Speedway and Atomic Speedway, respectively, in Ohio last weekend, there is no better time for Schatz to collect his first win of the season than at two tracks at which he has enjoyed so much success.
Schatz has competed in all 33 World of Outlaws races at River Cities and has tallied a dozen victories, 23 podiums, and 30 top fives. His average finish at the high-banked quarter-mile is 2.8, and his worst result is eighth.
The Fargo driver has also scored six wins at his home track, Red River Valley, with the most recent coming in 2021.
Saturday will also be a special night for the Schatz family as the IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars will run the Danny Schatz Memorial, honoring Donny’s late father. Donny’s nieces, Amelia and Laela Eisenschenk, will be competing with the IMCA Sprint Cars. Laela is fresh off a win at Red River Valley Speedway last Friday night.
