The World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series started in 1978 to organize the most talented sprint car racers, and has tested many competitors over the past several decades. K&N sponsored Sprint car champion Donny Schatz has amassed such an extraordinary list of accomplishments during his career, that he can be considered one of short-track racing’s best. Donny Schatz, a resident of Fargo, North Dakota, worked tirelessly to reach champion status, earning his stripes as a young rookie and climbing to the top in a sport dominated by iconic figures.

Donny Schatz learned the fundamentals of becoming a WoO champion by spending many grueling years chasing sprint car legends Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell and Mark Kinser around dirt tracks all across America. Meeting challenges head-on has been a true asset for K&N sponsored six-time WoO champion Donny Schatz. After capturing a pair of titles driving a sprint car owned by his family, Schatz made a seamless transition to driving for Tony Stewart Racing (TSR). Schatz has thrived under the spotlight of racing for three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart and continues to prove his thirst for success is far from quenched.

Not one to sit still K&N’s Donny Schatz spends the winter months in the U.S. racing sprint cars in Australia. Schatz’s success “Down Under” has been remarkable, as he’s won a number of major events both in the World Series Sprintcar tour and major events at Sydney Speedway, Supercheap Auto Archerfield Speedway in Brisbane and at Premier Speedway in Warrnambool. As a result, Donny Schatz has earned quite a following in Australia. Additionally, Schatz has expanded his stateside racing to also include Dirt Late Model competition.

Recently, Donny Schatz was informally inducted into an elite group among World of Outlaw racers.

Arguably Schatz is still at, or near, the peak of his career and will most certainly continue to amass victories on the way to setting additional records.
