Donny Schatz probably doesn’t have much room left on his résumé for accomplishments. The ace Sprint Car racer added yet another monumental achievement this weekend, becoming the first driver to win back-to-back Kings Royals at Eldora Speedway.
It was Schatz’s fourth win in the event as he also claimed the 2007 and 2009 running. As a cherry on top, Schatz was crowned King in Victory Lane by seven-time Kings Royal Champion Steve Kinser.
Schatz started the race in Sixth and was to Third within the first five laps of the 40-lap feature. On lap 13 Schatz moved past Brad Sweet into Second. One lap later he stole the lead from pole-sitter Cole Duncan and stretched out his lead. Schatz went unchallenged for the remainder of the event.
Fellow TSR/Curb-Agajanian Racing team member Christopher Bell finished Second after starting 20th. Sweet was Third, Duncan Fourth and Ryan Smith rounded out the Top Five after starting last in the field.
