🏳️ Donny Schatz

Donny Schatz is an American racer best known for his long-standing career in World of Outlaws sprint car competition, where he has built a reputation as one of the discipline's most accomplished drivers, driving for Big Game Motorsports. His background in sprint car racing established him as a prominent figure in that sphere before any ventures into stock car competition. Within Racer DB, however, his record reflects a single appearance in the NASCAR Truck Series, a series distinct from the open-wheel dirt track racing for which he is more widely recognized.[1]

In that lone NASCAR Truck Series start, Schatz did not record a win or a podium finish, and his career in the series is marked as retired with no championships to his name in that discipline. His Racer Rating of 2,271 places him at 4745th among active drivers on the platform's Elo-style scale, a figure consistent with a career defined by a single, limited foray into truck racing rather than sustained competition. In the 2026 season, he participated in one round without recording a win or podium, finishing 100th in the standings, closing out a brief and singular chapter in NASCAR competition for a driver whose broader legacy remains rooted in sprint car racing.[2]
