ROSSBURG, OH – RIS – Afternoon showers delayed the start of racing but the result was the same as Friday for Donny Schatz as he lead the World of Outlaws feature start to finish to sweep the winged sprintcar portion of the “Mother of All Sprint Car Weekends”.

Justin Grant made the finish of the non-winged, USAC portion of the show memorable as he used traffic to pull off a slide job and pass C. J. Leary on the final lap and win the "Don Branson/Jud Larson Classic".
