CHECKERS AND WRECKERS FOR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH

SCHATZ WATCH

Friday the World of Outlaws visited the Lawton Speedway in Lawton, Oklahoma where Logan Schuchart took the lead on the green and quickly found traffic. On lap six, Carson Macedo took the lead from Macedo and held on for his 11th win of the season. Donny Schatz started sixth and climbed his way up to third.

Saturday at the Devils Bowl in Mesquite, TX Ayrton Genneten looked to be on his way to his first career World of Outlaws victory, But Logan Schuchart had other plans. Schuchart took the lead with six laps remaining and picked up his third win in a row at the Devils Bowl and his seventh win of the year. Carson Macedo finished second, Sheldon Haudenschild in third, Ayrton Genneten finished a career best fourth, and Schatz ended up improving one spot up to fifth.

“The Big Cat” Brad Sweet with his sixth-place finish now only has to show up to qualifying at the next Outlaws event to clinch the points championship. And the next event will start tonight and end tomorrow at the Dirt Track at Charlotte for the World Finals.

NASCAR

Alex Bowman was the winner Sunday at Martinsville but the race had its fair share of controversy. Bowman dumped Denny Hamlin late in the race for the win. And Hamlin fell all the way back to 24th. Hamlin showed his displeasure by playing bumper cars with Bowman in Victory Lane.

The Championship four is set Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr, and Denny Hamlin all made it in and will shoot for the title Sunday at the Phoenix Raceway. Larson and Hamlin are both going for their first championship, whereas Truex and Elliott are looking to repeat. If either Larson or Elliot win, it would make it the 14th Cup Series Championship for Hendrick Motorsports. For Hamlin or Truex, it would be Joe Gibbs Racing’s sixth. And to win the title? You have to be the best finishing driver of the Championship Four.
