Donny Schatz's Snap Schatz: Defending World Of Outlaws Champion Is Ready For The New Season

February 14, 2007

By Donny Schatz

BARBERVILLE, Fla. -- A new season is here, and we're happy about it. The time off was nice, and to have a little down time helps, but really you're always thinking about your next race. The focus becomes putting in the time to be ready for another season. There is a lot of hard work involved in that, and I think all of us were ready to get back to racing. That's what we do best. Coming into the season as defending champion is the best scenario a driver can ask for. We set our goal to do it last year, and we were able to win a championship. No matter what happens, we've won a title. It's exciting heading into a season knowing that you can do it, have done it and have the bullseye on you like the other champions. Now, our goal is to hopefully be in a position this year where everyone is still aiming for us all year long. There will be some challenges ahead of us, no doubt, but we've built a team to meet those challenges head-on. We brought in Dave Lawrence to be our crew chief, and he'll work with Shane Bowers, who was with us last year, and Brad Sparks.

Is that somebody from around here? I don't recognize the name but have a feeling it's someone from one of the local teams.

Stan..Sparks was the crew chief  for the 55L last season !

OK, now I know who you're talking about. Thanks.
