Donny Schatz ices the cake and Ian Madsen break through win at World Finals
So, the World of Outlaws season for 2018 has finished very muck like it started way back in February at the Dirt Car Nationals where the recently crowned 10 times Champion Donny Schatz won his first Dirt Car Nationals at Volusia down Florida.
Donny Schatz won 4 of his five starts down in Florida in February and went on to again dominate the 2018 Championship with 22 wins compared with the runner up Brad Sweet with 9 wins.
The World Finals at the Charlotte Dirt Tack was a fitting end to what had been a superb season finishing with Australian Ian Madsen being named rookie of year and what better way for Ian Madsen to celebrate than to record his first ever WoO A Main win on night 1.
After finishing in 10th in the first A Main of the World finals Donny Schatz sent a strong message to rivals in 2019 with a powerful win from P10 to win the Championship Final at the World Finals.
