Joey Saldana and Donny Schatz were victorious in World of Outlaw SprintCar Series competition over the weekend at the Lawrenceburg Speedway in Indiana.

 

 

Saldana picked up World of Outlaws career win number 47 on Friday nightalong with a $10,000 check for taking the 35 lap contest at the high - banked 3/8 mile track.

 

 “This is huge,” Saldana said Friday night. “This is one of the tracks thatI grew up at. Obviously it's a different track now than what it was when Istarted. I've never won a race here before, so that is a great effort formyself. When you grow up racing these tracks, you want to win on them.It's always special to win at home. My dad was here tonight and doesn'tnormally come to the races, so that was huge for him to get to see me win.”

 

Defending World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion Donny Schatz wasable to win for the first time on Indiana soil Saturday night, taking homehis 95th career Outlaws victory. Schatz and his Tony Stewart Racing teamhad a lot to celebrate as Indiana is the home of his team owner, NASCAR Cup Series driver Tony Stewart.

 

 

 “What a night,” Schatz said Saturday night in victory lane. “These guys,Ricky (Warner), Shane (Bowers) and Eric (Prutzman) do an awesome job withthis race car. A guy gets down and out once in a while and we don't wantto stay there long. I can't thank those guys enough. We have struggled onshorts tracks and we came here this weekend and felt awesome last night. We didn't get to show it last night and tonight we did.”
