Schatz Named Economaki Champion of Champions

Donny Schatz, the two-time defending World of Outlaws champion was named the Economaki Champion of Champions today by National Speed Sport News at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) trade show in Orlando, Florida.

Schatz was one of 10 finalists for the award, all of whom earned championships in North America during the 2007 racing season.

“This is a huge honor,” remarked Schatz during the live announcement. “To be mentioned with guys like Jimmie Johnson, Sebastien Bourdais, Dario Franchitti and Tony Schumacher is quite an honor. We did the best we could every night and had one of those unbelievable seasons. I really appreciate all the people at National Speed Sport News for the coverage all season and now this award. This is something I'll never forget.”
