Donny Schatz Scores Patient Victory at Oil City Cup
Picks up his 26th win of the season and 199th career series win
EDMONTON, Alb. – Aug. 28, 2015 – Donny Schatz waited patiently Friday night at the Oil City Cup at Castrol Raceway as Shane Stewart and Joey Saldana battled each other for the lead for the first two-thirds of the race. When the moment was right, Schatz struck, sliding past the two drivers, then first and second, to take over the lead and eventually score his 26th World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory of the season.
“I don’t know that we were probably as good as what Shane and Joey were but we just kept running different grooves and got to traffic and had to wait for them to make a mistake,” Schatz said. “I don’t know what happened but all I know is I came out of there and I didn’t see them in front of me anymore. That’s always good for when you’re trying to pass.”
