SYNDEY, AUSTRALIA- After completing another impressive World of Outlaws Championship, his fourth of his career, Donny Schatz (Left in No. 15) accompanied Tony Stewart on a trip down under in Australia. The first race was the Valvoline Sprint Car Grand Prix, live from Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway in Syndey.


Schatz found victory lane, winning the Valvoline Sprint Car Grand Prix on Sunday night, while Tony Stewart worked his way up to finish seventh. On Monday night, Schatz came back with an impressive second place showing, while Smoke came home with a fourth place finish in the Hogs Breath CafĂ© International Sprint Car race.

Now, the two will head back to Parramatta City Raceway on to race the Scott Daley Memorial tonight and tomorrow night. Stewart and Schatz will race against great competition this weekend in Australia. American racers O'Reilly All Star racer Tim Shaffer will be on hand for the race, along with Jason Johnson. It's shaping up to be a good race field. Australian racing superstars  Robbie Farr, Brooke Tatnell, and Max Demesny will be on the starting line, when the green flag drops tonight.

Look for further coverage of Schatz and Stewart as they race in Australia. A recap of the 2010 Chili Bowl and the Polar Bear 150 from Rockingham is also on the agenda for coverage from "Through the Gears".
