Donny Schatz of Fargo, North Dakota grabbed his fifth Knoxville Nationals title on Saturday night. The Tony Stewart Racing #15 was flawless after starting fifteenth in the 50-lap main event. The win paid Schatz $150,000, and was his mind-numbing tenth finish of either first or second in the last twelve years at the biggest event in sprint car racing. All have come with J&J Chassis and Ron Shaver Engines.
