I Hope We get At least 3 to 5 more years with Donny Racing Sprint Car..... CLASS ACT!!!!!

[@Flag2flag]

Dude this is sick . The best driver in this era . Dude is a real bad ass . And they say his car control is like no other . He’s the man and your the man Kenny

[@marshallsmith5098]

We used to sneak into the back room at Allens Kartway to put Bobbys Knoxville wreath on while Dana was working at the counter.

[@martypowell124]

Thank you so much for having Donny on your show. He's a class act.

[@nealtorbert474]

Thanks for having Donny on your show. I've been a fan of his since he was 15 years old when he raced sprints at the Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, ND. You are both very humble. It was a great show!! Thank you both!!

[@dannyboy10d]

Been a HUGE fan of Donny's for over 20 years! So awesome to see he still has it!

[@carlosjohnson5365]

He is not doing good in points is shave he not a head of every one else.

[@432htz3]

I saw Donny race at Western Springs in Auckland NZ.a few year ago now. It was so good to see him down here and all i can say is that he can seriously pedal. So good to watch.

[@shannon5373]

Donny Schatz is an American BADASS!!!🇺🇸

[@eliholden5555]

Donny is my favorite 410 driver on the World of Outlaws, and Kenny is my favorite driver in the other class.

[@timg7627]

Good interview. Well done

[@gw4717]

Love donny hands down best 👌 racer to ever get in a car been a fan since day one king 🤴 donny you are a hero my friend

[@botabs.8247]

Donny turned me into a Sprint car fan years ago. Boy we couldn't wait for them outlaws to show up to Lebanon valleys speedway. He is the epitomy of a real man who stays the course and completes what he says he will. Dream big kids and work on those necks

[@dcstrng1]

Thanks for having Donny on... having been raised in NoDak, we all knew about Schatz racing (yep, I'm old enough to remember Danny behind the wheel as well...). Class-act and clearly one of WoO big guns; was glad to see his Eldora win...

[@jimgeyer3475]

Outstanding!!!! Priceless!!!! Thank You!!!

[@randykirchhevel7311]

I love this interview with Donny Schatz. I love the World of Outlaws better then Nascar better then Indy car better then Drag Racing just because there is really good competition and as spectator it's more exciting to watch.

[@marshallsmith5098]

Smokey Snelbaker used to say, "if you want to level the playing field in sprint cars, take away power steering."

[@RobiBrown-eb8lo]

I like how you’re spreading the different racing around because there’s so much talent out there but man do these Sprint Car racers are something else to see. I was in shock at Eldora this past weekend. If you didn’t like that? You don’t like racing, PERIOD!!!

[@iragoss7224]

10x?? That’s crazy. Respect & congratulations 👍

[@unconditionedcitizen]

Did I race you online during covid? Was I dreaming? Dude was battling as Donny Schatz🏆🏁

[@jasonthompson8202]

Grew up in Minot... always thought watching him at the nodak speedway he was gonna hit big in the WOO. Been pretty cool watching him over the years.

[@randykirchhevel7311]

If the older Engine set up is better then how come they went away from it. I do love the sound of that Ford engine that Donny has under the hood which I always thought the Ford's had great sound to them with that header design spread apart

[@chrisdody5867]

Thank you to both of you, great show!

[@oneninerniner3427]

Like him or hate him you gotta admit he's one of the best. Been watching him for years and he's from my neck of the woods.

[@shirleypoplo-ej7lz]

I have been keeping a eye on Donny!! I knew he was going to get a win soon!! I just knew!! Absolutely happy for him!!!

[@robh.7699]

Awesome conversation guys Old school reliable always is the best

[@steveashworth6707]

Great interview with a great guy!, and one helluva sprint car driver!.

[@ThatsBadTV]

Donny is an amazing racer .. wins everytime i see him

[@oneninerniner3427]

Kenny, I think you are a good guy too. Thanks for doing these! 👍

[@tonylewis1588]

Donny and his dad were so good to me when I met them at the Vegas track. He has been my favorite since then.

[@dmfreem]

I been waiting for you to have a convo with King Donny. Other racers should take many notes from him. #HUMBLE . Proud to be a North Dakotan

[@choiceclay5310]

Amen Brother! Ndak

[@oneninerniner3427]

True thing about neck strength. I raced for awhile and every spring my neck would get tired holding my head up for the first few weeks of the season untill it got used to it again.

[@ThailandXpress]

As a diehard Pa Posse fan it was easy to boo this guy at Williams Grove. It wasn’t because I didn’t like him, it was because this dude won, all the time. Nothing but respect for this dude.

[@giff427dg]

His name is on the wooden win plack at the entrance to knoxville 11 times it is insane and all the greats to it will bring a tear to your eye

[@marshallsmith5098]

Did 'The Chaz' approve of this? LOL. Thank you for doing this interview. Both of you.

[@CBrittain21xR]

Ha The "Chaz" , he's something alright.

[@GREGDEATHERAGE-in1pp]

Thanks Donny for buying your glasses from us at Deatherage Opticians!

[@davepocono6774]

Great content Kenny love it. Thanks.

[@rodneyharouff5739]

👍thanks herm! these are always good!

[@mrt601]

Great job you always deliver

[@tedschaefer9237]

Wouldn't Logan Schuchart give you an interview @Kenny Wallace ?

[@jimmymcclosky3786]

Great show. Thank You!

[@giff427dg]

I agree quick time means nothing at fast track in a sprint car

[@wadewishneski3075]

Another great ep, keep 'em coming 👍

[@rodneyharouff5739]

that entertainment thing you'all discussed was right on. it's seepin' into everything. i've seen plenty'a pit fights in person. i don't want'a see it when we could be seein' the racin'.

[@marshalljimduncan]

Donny Schatz, just like the rest of us...

The King

[@jeffhenson1994]

content all day

[@charliewhite3992]

I've spent a few nights in Fargo at the truck stop I've seen Donnie inside he was going into the office area so I didn't get to say hi

[@jeremylynn9894]

He’s there often. I’ve seen him with a broom in his hand. Very friendly guy.

[@choiceclay5310]

He does have the old school ndak values. Thats no show. The Schatz are smart business people that have worked hard. Good lessons for people these days. If you want something go work and grind for it.

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff dude

[@botabs.8247]

I would love to drop what I'm doing and become a part of an outlaw team. I've always wanted to become a racer but now that I'm 39 it may be over. What's not over is my love for the sport. Dirt daily and Nascar Sundays. Kenny any ideas or knowledge of who I could team up with? Maybe I start at the ump level and move on up.

[@v860rich]

Great driver. I raced with his dad in Minot N.D. in the late '60's. Very sad that his dad has passed!

[@charliewhite3992]

Donnie you will find the sponsors for your nieces so they can continue to race as long as they are having fun

[@diychad7268]

Hmmm......when he says, its not fixed but sometimes ya wonder how those stars aligned..........wonder what he is talking about exactly..... Also so is donny saying that he used a car with a chevy engine?? I saw someone in a comment sunday say that and i called em dumb but looks like i was wrong.......he didnt straight up say it here but pretty sure he just told us that he used a chevy engine to win the Royal.....i think.....mayb he was saying he used one of the original ford engines from when they started their 410 program but he sure did seem to be careful as to what he said Finally.....who are they talking about who does the optics/glasses?? Greg who?? Great episode kenny, they have ALL been good!!

[@oneninerniner3427]

It was one of his early ford engines, Look at the headers. The pipes are evenly spaced on the ford architecture engines, the center two pipes are close together on the chev architecture engines

[@oneninerniner3427]

I say architecture because there is nothing stock on any of those race engines.

[@jeffhenson1994]

+++ lol Kenny

[@NewGroupFreedomTrust]

Powered by - - - - FORD?

[@MX304]

TSR started running Fords in 2019.

[@charleslong8634]

Donny don't be surprised that tony drops you your a great driver but your boss is to much into drag racing and he will drop you like you mean nothing to him if he does I hope you hit him and knock him out by the way he will never when the Knoxville nationals your a great driver when you strap your self in the seat tighten down your in there to win

[@DirtTrackRacing410]

Hey Kenny shut down your dirt racing experience, biggest rip off ever!!!

[@mutantryeff]

I have no respect for Donny Schatz. He openly projected his tolerance of those that pull fire alarms in hotels/motels. He doesn't care about the safety issues surrounding such pranks, nor the inconvenience to all involved.

[@davids5006]

Like literally pulling fire alarms or is that an analogy? 😂

[@mutantryeff]

@@davids5006 Real fire alarms involving firemen. He said it on a YT channel like 'Mobil 1' or similar.

[@byrd5163]

He probably don't give a crap about u either so it's probably mutual. Lol

[@austindenotter19]

Are you fire Marshall Bill

[@byrd5163]

@@austindenotter19 he is hilarious

[@dannyboy10d]

Thats crazy my dad and i used to race at fort smith!!!

[@dannyboy10d]

I like what donny said about kinser, but kinser era, he had all the money and money won, swindell was 2nd closest

[@deanpendarvis4917]

Tried like hell to watch this whole thing but,Kenny wallace is a horrible host. He jumps all over the place,says stupid things and,overall isn't very good at this.

[@KennyWallace36]

c'mon!
