What a way to start the first of two Western Swings this year for the World Of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series. The series invaded The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last night for the first of two nights for NASCAR weekend. FVP returned as the sponsor for the annual FVP Outlaw Showdown at the track where... yep, Donny Schatz won yet again to capture another win. The win came on a last corner battle with Brian Brown. This is Donny's 4th win of the season out of 5 as ironically, the man who upset him at the Knoxville Nationals, Jason Johnson has one win. The 5 time ASCS champion recently entered a partnership with Richard Marshall of Marshall Industries to change the name to Johnson-Marshall Racing. Marshall also sponsors Joey Saldana in the Matt Wood-Ricky Stenhouse Jr Racing 17 car in honor of Bryan Clauson, who passed away in August. Marshall also co-owns Clauson-Marshall Racing and will go for the 2017 USAC title with Tyler Courtney. The team is owned by Bryan's father Tim and they almost won the Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, OK in January.
