World of Outlaws Champion Donny Schatz Hopes to Continue Big Track Success in Tony Stewart Racing’s Armor All J&J
One of most overused clichés in sports is “taking it one game at a time.” Whether the competitor wants to admit it or not, there are “games” where the outcome is more than just a “W” or an “L.” It’s no different in racing, as drivers scan their season race schedule from where it starts to where it ends. Within all those races dates, there are always a few diamonds in the rough. This weekend offers up a number of gems in the landscape of motorsports, including Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 near Charlotte. For Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Donny Schatz and the rest of the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Series teams, a race in Charlotte during 600 weekend is more than just another stop on their 10-month trek that includes more than 80 races.
