Podium Finish for World of Outlaws Champ Donny Schatz at Eldora
- Apr 16, 2007
Donny Schatz scored his third straight runner-up finish in the 2007 season
Friday night at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. Schatz raced from an early
4th place position into a three way battle for victory during the final four
laps of the 30 lap FedEx Outlaw Thunder World of Outlaws “A” Feature.
“We came on at the end and almost got the win,” said Schatz. “It was important for us to come to Eldora and challenge for the win. It’s no secret that this hasn’t been my best track, but we’ve really gained on it the last year or so. We were strong early in the night and in the dash, but the track fooled me just a bit by how slow it got.”
In the late stages of the feature Schatz was able to run around Jason Meyers for second place. Meyers was then able to pass Schatz. In the end Schatz came in second place. “We use K&N Engineering products,” said Schatz. “Our K&N Airbox helps us achieve maximum horsepower at every race.”
Schatz’s second place finish was also his third consecutive runner-up at Eldora Speedway, following last year’s runner-up finishes in July and August. Friday's race will air on SPEED-TV May 13th at 2 p.m. est.
The ParkerStore Team will stay in Ohio this week. They return to action on Friday night at Attica Raceway Park. On Saturday they will travel to southwest Indiana at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt.
