Donny Schatz ended a 510-day World of Outlaws winless streak by winning the 35-lap feature at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama. The victory was Schatz’s first with CJB Motorsports and his first at Talladega Short Track, and it gave CJB Motorsports its sixth different winner. It marked the 317th checkered flag of his career, earned across 90 different tracks, and came in his 30th World of Outlaws season after he parted ways with Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian in August 2025.

Schatz qualified second, won his heat and captured the Toyota Dash to start the feature on the pole. He held off early pressure from Bryce Lucius and Sheldon Haudenschild, then navigated traffic to pull away and beat Haudenschild and Michael “Buddy” Kofoid for the win. Schatz credited Chad Clemens and the CJB Motorsports crew for the performance and called the victory ‘getting a monkey off your back.’

Sheldon Haudenschild finished second and Kofoid was third, while Bryce Lucius was fourth and Garet Williamson fifth. Carson Macedo finished seventh and David Gravel 11th, leaving Macedo and Gravel tied atop the championship standings after the event.
