At A Glance: Outlaws Look to Stop Schatz at Oil City Cup - Kerry Madsen won at Castrol Raceway last season, while Joey Saldana has three wins at the track

 

CONCORD, N.C. - Aug. 21, 2014 - As the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series begins its western swing at the Oil City Cup at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on Aug. 22 and 23, points leader Donny Schatz carries the momentum of recent wins and unmatched consistency through the 'Month of Money.'

 

Since July 18 - the first night of Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway - Schatz has finished no worse than third with his STP/Armor All team. After his win at Nodak Speedway on Aug. 17, the Tony Stewart Racing driver has 12 straight podium finishes. Schatz has won six of the last nine races and has a 154 point lead in his quest for a sixth championship.

 

Coming into this same weekend last year, Schatz had 16 wins and sat 42 points out of the championship lead. Schatz went on to overcome challenges at the track, finishing second on night one of the Oil City Cup and winning night two.

 

Two drivers looking to stop Schatz's momentum are Kerry Madsen and Joey Saldana. Both drivers have five wins on the season and have found previous success at Castrol Raceway - Madsen held off Schatz on the first night of the Oil City Cup in 2013 while Saldana scored three wins at the track over the course of the 2009 and 2010 Outlaws seasons.

 

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series begins its eight race swing down the west coast on Aug. 29 and 30 with stops at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. The Outlaws follow that up with additional events in Washington, Oregon and California, including the two-night Gold Cup Race of Champions on Sept. 5 and 6 in Chico, Calif.
