Schatz is fresh off six wins at Parramatta City Raceway in Australia , including his sixth victory in the Bevelite Glass $50,000 Classic.
In 2006, Schatz scored 17 A-Feature wins in World of Outlaws competition, along with two preliminary feature triumphs. He won the Knoxville Nationals as well for the first time in his career, after finishing second in sprint car racing’s most famed event four times.
Schatz also led the World of Outlaws in most statistical categories last season. He racked up over $372,000 in season winnings.
