Daryn Pittman said on Friday night after finishing third at Heartland Park Topeka that his car was not good enough to win and that his team would work hard over the next two days to find the winning combination. They certainly found it on Sunday night, as he had the dominant car at Charter Raceway Park, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, leading all 40 laps en route to his fifth A-Feature victory of the season.

Mother Nature won the first round at Orange County Fair Speedway this season back in May when the World of Outlaws came to town, but Daryn Pittman won round two, in convincing fashion, as the series returned to the sprawling 5/8-mile track on Wednesday night to make up that event which was postponed by rain.

Donny Schatz was all smiles on Friday night, after charging to a fourth-place finish on the opening night of the 45th Annual National Open at Williams Grove Speedway. After all, he had started 21st in the preliminary feature after timing in just 26th quickest in time trials, en route to locking himself into the pole position of the fourth heat in the finale. Those smiles carried over to Saturday night, as he dominated the 40-lap main event, leading from start to finish, picking up the $50,000 win.

Jason Solwold had been waiting a long time to win a World of Outlaws A-Feature event.

Knoxville, IA — The Summer of Donny rolled on Saturday night when Donny Schatz dominated the 47th Annual SuperClean Knoxville Nationals Presented By Factory Value Parts at Knoxville Raceway.

Daryn Pittman knew it would be no easy task to win at Nodak Speedway on Tuesday night in the Magic City Showdown. He knew that the man to beat was reigning World of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz, who was born and raised in Minot, and was fresh off his second consecutive Knoxville Nationals win last Saturday night. On top of that, Schatz began the night by blistering the existing track record in time trials by over three-tenths of a second.

There are not too many things that have been able to slow Donny Schatz down this season. A severe cold tried to derail him this week, but could not. Also, Mother Nature tried her best as the finale of the inaugural Oil City Cup for the World of Outlaws at Castrol Raceway was postponed one day due to heavy rain.

If it wasn’t for bad luck, Brooke Tatnell wouldn’t have any luck at all this season. He had been close to winning a couple of times this season with the World of Outlaws, only to have a tire go down or other problems out of his control plague him. He turned this luck around on Friday night at Skagit Speedway, picking up the win in the opener of the two-day event at the track located in the scenic Pacific Northwest.
