Donny Doing His Thing
Stewart's driver, Donny Schatz, continues his path to an eighth World of Outlaws championship as has made up more than 250 points in the last two months to take over the points lead. With 15 wins and more top-five and top-10 finishes than anyone else, Schatz is back in old form as the series cruises through a crucial portion of the season.
A Points Battle Emerging

Gravel Rising
Gravel and his CJB Motorsports team are also hitting their stride through the 'Month of Money' as they look to improve their points position. The young, Watertown, Conn.-native has five wins on the season and is second to Schatz in top-fives and third behind Schatz and Stewart in top-10s.
For the first time this season, Gravel has taken over the second spot in the championship standings.
