Inside Line Promotions – MESQUITE, Texas (April 27, 2015) – Jason Sides is on the move through the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship standings.
Sides capitalized on his sixth top five of the season with the premier sprint car series last Saturday during the Texas Outlaw Nationals at Devil’s Bowl Speedway to advance into seventh in overall points.
“It was really good,” he said. “To go there and run top five with that caliber of cars is always a confidence boost.”
Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) driver Donny Schatz continued his torrid start to the 2015 World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series campaign by outdueling Shane Stewart Saturday night in the Texas Outlaw Showdown at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas. The win was his sixth WoO A-Feature victory in the first 17 races and second at the historic dirt track located outside Dallas, where the Outlaws held their inaugural race back in March of 1978.
Schatz, the six-time and reigning WoO champion, led the first seven and final 13 laps of the 30-lap A-Feature behind the wheel of the TSR No. 15 Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance J&J en route to his 178th career WoO A-Feature victory.
MESQUITE, Texas (April 25, 2015) – For the better part of the week it looked as if Noah had the upper hand at Devil’s Bowl Speedway. Rain forced cancellation of Friday’s event. With the sun finally shining today, track and World of Outlaws officials worked diligently to get the track and pit area prepped for racing tonight after a downpour last evening totaling more than 1.5 inches.
A huge crowd, eager to watch the world’s best sprint car drivers go wheel to wheel, assembled at Devil’s Bowl for the $20,000-to-win Texas Outlaws Nationals.
Returning to join the Outlaws tour for the historical Devil’s Bowl event were Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell.
INDIANAPOLIS (April 23, 2015) – In the heat of battle, most competitors don’t consider the historic significance of what they are accomplishing. During the last 19 seasons of competing with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series, Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing’s Donny Schatz has surpassed a number of milestones racing at dirt tracks all across the United States. When he reaches one, the focus instantly turns to the next one, the same way the six-time and reigning WoO champion shifts his attention to the next race seemingly as soon as he walks out the gate after a night of competing with “The Greatest Show on Dirt.”
Last April, Schatz led the Outlaws back to historic Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, for the first time since the 2003 WoO season. The famed track was the site of the Outlaws’ first-ever A-Feature back in March 1978 and one where he had yet to visit victory lane. Schatz made a triumphant return to the iconic half-mile dirt oval by racing to victory in the 25-lap A-Feature. The result not only was his first win at the track, but also the 150th WoO A-Feature triumph of his career. \
TELFORD, PA. – April 22, 2015 – What a difference a week can make.
After suffering through one of their most trying stretches over the past few years, Paul McMahan and the CJB Motorsports team served notice that the Pennsylvania based organization wouldn’t be down for long.
“Last weekend was tough,” said McMahan, driver of the Bairs Tree Service, Nyce Crete & Landis Block & Concrete and All Star Performance sponsored machine. “We had two DNF’s all last year and matched that total in one weekend this year. To come back this week and run as well as we did is a testament to how strong this team truly is. I am exceptionally proud of everyone. It’s awesome to see how much fight and determination we came back with.”
MESQUITE, Texas (April 21, 2015)—Following his second place finish at Perris, Calif., Joey Saldana, along with all the members of the Motter Equipment HE&M Saw Beltline Body Shop team, spent the next two days in San Diego with Workshops for Warriors personnel, along with HEMsaw’s Bob Foster.
“We were very impressed by the skills and the level of machining and welding precision taught at Workshops for Warriors,” said Saldana. “It was a great learning experience for all of us. We salute the vision and initiatives of founder Hernan Luis y Prado. He provides valuable education for veterans and active duty personnel and then facilitates job placement for each graduate.”
Inside Line Promotions – PERRIS, Calif. (April 21, 2015) – Jason Sides wrapped up the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series spring swing along the West Coast last weekend.
“We had a solid West Coast swing, but we’re excited to head to the Midwest and East Coast in the near future,” he said. “California is a long way from home so it’ll be nice to be within driving distance throughout a lot of the spring.”
Sides kicked off last weekend on Friday by qualifying 14th quickest at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford, Calif., which missed a spot in the heat race inversion by only two positions. He then finished sixth in a heat race to lock into the main event, where he started on the outside of the seventh row.
Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) driver Donny Schatz concluded the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series 11-race California tour with a pair of top-four finishes last weekend at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford and Perris Auto Speedway. The six-time and reigning WoO champion charged the TSR No. 15 Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance J&J from 16th to fourth Friday in Hanford and finished third Saturday in Perris.
The weekend concluded five weekends of action in the Golden State for the Outlaws. It was a successful tour for Schatz, who picked up four wins, finished inside the top-four eight times and grabbed the top spot in the championship standings following his March 28 victory in the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. With 17 of the 88 scheduled nights of racing completed, Schatz leads the standings by 23 markers over Shane Stewart and has a series-best five wins, 11 top-fives and 15 top-10s.
PERRIS, Calif. (April 18, 2015) – Joey Saldana and the members of the Motter Motorsports team entertained the Workshops for Warriors veterans and their guests at Perris Auto Speedway tonight prior to shoving off for hot laps and qualifying.
Motter Motorsports’ sponsor HE&M Saw supports Workshops for Warriors, a San Diego-based 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to training, certifying, and placing veterans of the U.S. Armed Services in manufacturing careers. HEMsaw has donated metal cutting band saws to the vocational training program. HEMsaw executives and the veterans were here with Saldana last year when he won
at Perris and all were hoping for an encore performance.
Donny Schatz and his Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) team delivered three impressive performances last week in World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series action. With victories Wednesday at Placerville (Calif.) Speedway and Sunday at Calistoga (Calif.) Speedway, Schatz and his Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance-backed team have amassed four wins in the first nine races of this year’s Outlaw California Spring Break Tour.
Schatz, the six-time and reigning WoO champion, finished fourth in Saturday’s race at Calistoga and, through 15 races, he leads the series championship standings by 30 points over Shane Stewart. He also leads the series with five wins, nine top-fives and 13 top-10s.
