Team Reports

Reigning World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series champion Donny Schatz, driver of the No. 15 Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance J&J for Tony Stewart/Curb-Aganjain Racing (TSR), earned finishes of sixth, fourth and 17th last week in WoO action at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona.

The three races opened the seven-week West Coast tour for the Outlaws, and Schatz hit the half-mile, dirt oval at Las Vegas Motor Speedway looking to score his ninth career triumph at the track. The Fargo, North Dakota driver was the 29th of 33 cars to make a qualifying run Wednesday and he turned the sixth-best lap. He started third and finished fourth in the second heat to transfer into the 30-lap A-Feature. The track was a handful for all 24 starters as they bounced through ruts in turns two and four. Schatz methodically moved his way from 11th to sixth during the main event.

TUCSON, Ariz. (March 7, 2015) – After two podium finishes at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Joey Saldana was hoping for a win at the NAPA Know How Wildcat Shootout at USA Raceway in Tucson. This track was on Saldana’s bucket list. He has finished second here but has never made the drive to victory lane. Spirits were high in the Motter Equipment HE&M Saw Beltline Body Shop pit and the team was hoping to be able to pad their point lead tonight.

Saldana, debuting his new HE&M Saw Workshops for Warriors tribute helmet, knew he had to dig deep in qualifying. As the last driver to take to the track for time trials, on a surface that was slicking off, the Brownsburg Bullet lived up to his reputation, clocking a pretty remarkable 14.304-second lap, good for the No. 9 qualifying spot.
