WORLD OF OUTLAWS SPRINT CAR SERIES (32 entries)
Donny Schatz moved into a tie atop the 410 Sprint Car win list with Jason Sides by winning his 3rd World of Outlaws Sprint Car series feature at Ohsweken. Schatz and Shane Stewart fought for the lead for 2/3's of the race before Schatz finally got by and cruised to the win. Stewart settled for 2nd, followed by James McFadden, Kerry Madsen, and David Gravel. The race was red-flagged twice, as Paul McMahan, Jason Sides, and Kraig Kinser were involved in an early crash, and Jesse Costa's car caught fire on lap 9. All drivers were uninjured, and the McMahan and Sides crews worked hard to get their cars repaired and back into the race.
