Five-time champion Donny Schatz leads series to Texas
EL PASO, Texas - April 14, 2014 - The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series is invades El Paso Speedway Park on Tuesday night. While the Kasey Kahne Racing tandem of Daryn Pittman, Brad Sweet and Cody Darrah, along with Saturday night winner Joey Saldana, have garnered most of the attention over the past few weeks, five-time series champion Donny Schatz has quietly emerged from the Outlaws California Spring Break as the championship points leader with a series-high nine top-five runs.
All eyes will most likely be on the 20-time King of the Outlaws Steve Kinser Tuesday night. A year ago Kinser parked his Bad Boy Buggies Maxim in victory lane at El Paso, and he will no doubt be trying to duplicate that effort on his "Salute to the King" tour stop in the West Texas town.
