Donny Schatz led a one-two finish for Tony Stewart Racing Saturday night at The Dirt Track at Charlotte to complete a sweep of the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series World Finals weekend.

 

Schatz took the lead from polesitter Kerry Madsen on a restart with eight laps to go on his way to winning his second consecutive Outlaws A-Main Feature.

 

“We didn’t have the season that we wanted too but we finished strong,” said Schatz. ”We finished second at Talladega and came in here and won both races. It’s a great way to end the season for our STP team here at the Dirt Track at Charlotte. Our car got better as we got the fuel load off and it settled down a little bit. Our line didn’t change much but the way our car went through the line got better.”

 

Madsen and his brother, Ian, started on the front row with Kerry pulling out to a sizeable lead before the restart. Steve Kinser moved to second as Kerry Madsen slid to seventh in the final rundown.

 

“We had an excellent race car all night long,” said Kinser. ”We should have gotten to the lower line earlier and stayed with Donny. The outside wasn’t too bad but Donny won a great race tonight. I can’t thank everyone on the Bass Pro Shops/J.D. Byrider/Chevrolet enough. It was a great year and we’ll be back.”

 

Craig Dollansky finished third followed by Cody Darrah and Greg Hodnett.

 

Jason Meyers ran eighth Saturday night and collected the 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship.
