Donny Schatz makes 200 career WoO wins
ELMA, Wash. – Sept. 7, 2015 Grays Harbour Speedway and Donny Schatz passed race leader Paul McMahan in the closing laps to secure his 27th win for the season and his 200th career WoO win .Schatz ‘s first WoO win was at Cottage Grove Speedway in 1998.
This amazing milestone see Schatz become only the third Outlaw to achieve the 200 win mark .Steve Kinser leads with 577 followed by Sammy Swindell 294.
Paul McMahan started on the pole with Brad Sweet alongside .McMahan did not assume the race lead until lap 15 and managed to work the rough track and handle the traffic while maintaining his lead over Schatz until lap 28 .Then as has happened many times Schatz finds a way around at the pointy end of the race .Certainly the race cautions and the late race traffic assisted Schatz to find his way onto McMahan’s tail and once there the result was predictable.
McMahan finished second with Shane Stewart taking the final podium position . The post race interviews with a modest Schatz ,disappointed but generious McMahan and Shane Stewart.
