Granville, NSW (AUS)-Four-time World of Outlaws Champion Donny Schatz continued his winning ways with victory in the Valvoline Australian Sprintcar Grand Prix at Sydney’s Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway Sunday evening.
Driving the Garry Rush-owned Pick’n’Payless entry, Schatz started the night off in flying fashion by setting the fastest time during qualifying before finishing second in his heat race.

After starting from position six in the 30-lap feature race Schatz had powered his way to the front of the field by the end of the second lap, only to have his passes negated when Warren Ferguson rolled his car bringing the race to it’s first stoppage.
The American was then forced to endure several further stoppages before eventually pulling clear of the field.
Behind Schatz multiple-time, and current, Australian Champion Garry Brazier was engaged in a hard fought battle with local driver Damian Abbott for the runner-up spot. MORE–>>
