RENO, NV (September 16, 2026) – For the better part of the 2026 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Sprint Car Series campaign, Logan Schuchart and his Shark Racing team raced for consistency in one of the toughest forms of motorsports all across the United States. As the team makes the long tow to California following Monday night’s return to the state of Colorado for the first time in a decade, the goals remain in focus for the final 19 nights of action.

“We’re out here to win as many races as we can and that starts with consistency,” said Schuchart, following Monday’s 20th to sixth run at El Paso County Speedway in Calhan, Colorado. “I’ve been doing this a long time and know what it takes and the importance of continuing to improve. We started this season with a new crew and we couldn’t be happier with how well they have gelled. We wanted to win races, challenge for the championship and score a crown jewel win. Other than winning the championship this season, we can still accomplish a lot the next two months.”

This season marked the 13th year for Schuchart to battle night in and night out with “The Greatest Show on Dirt”. He has carried partner RelaDyne and their DuraMAX and Drydene brands along with Federated Auto Parts, TKS Concrete and Mark Martin Motors to dirt tracks all across the country. After hiring Carly Holmes last November at the World Finals and Bryan Sundby following December’s 2025 PRI show, the 33-year-old along with his stepfather Bill Klingbeil went to work on carrying on the legacy of Schuchart’s late grandfather Bobby Allen.

“Scruffy” built Shark Racing into a World of Outlaws contending team following his dream and using vision, hard work and hope to get there. Both Schuchart and Jacob Allen have been extremely successful with the Outlaws after hitting the road in 2014. In 2024, Schuchart continued racing with the Outlaws while Jacob ventured to the High Limit Series. Last fall, Scuffy passed away leaving a huge hole in the Sprint car world, but in the Bobby Allen way, Schuchart and his team continue pressing on.

“We knew this was going to be a very important season for us,” reflected Schuchart. “My grandpa means so much to me and this was everything he worked for. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for everything he did for me. This was all he knew, lived and dreamed about. I know he’d be proud of what we are doing and the direction we are going.”

The direction by all indicators is heading up. After spending the early months getting back to basics, the results started to improve. The team’s first victory came May 16 ironically at Eldora Speedway, arguably Schuchart’s best track.

“Getting our first win was huge,” continued Schuchart. “We would have liked it to have been a lot sooner, but we all worked really hard to get there. Seeing Bryan, Carly, Bill and everyone in victory lane with all the smiles was really rewarding. We knew we could win races and sometimes getting that first one is the hardest one.”

Throughout the remainder of May and into June, the team had some bright moments. The opening night of Premier Chevy Dealers Clash at Knoxville Raceway provided some confidence for the upcoming big money events. Schuchart was the top qualifier in the 60-plus car field before running up front in the 25-lap feature before ultimately finishing third.

After a pair of top-10 finishes at Cedar Lake Speedway in late June, the team traveled home for a few nights of action during the annual Pennsylvania Speedweek. Schuchart charged from 13th to fourth in the final Steve Smith Memorial race at his hometown track Lincoln Speedway. A forgettable night at Hagerstown Speedway three nights later was followed by a third-place finish in the Mitch Smith Memorial at Williams Grove Speedway.

The team headed west the following week and had a fast car at Hartford Speedway in Western Michigan. Schuchart battled inside the top-three until damage to his nose wing resulted in a fifth-place finish. It was the first of three consecutive fifth-place finishes as he raced from 11th and ninth the next two nights at Wilmot Raceway.

Kings Royal week started at the annual Brad Doty Classic and Schucahrt was again one of the drivers to beat. After qualifying fourth, winning his heat and the dash, Schuchart chased early leaders Bryce Lucius and Kyle Larson. A late caution gave Lucius a clean track and Logan finished second. The next two nights opened the Kings Royal festivities with the Joker’s Wild and Joker’s Jackpot events under the High Limit banner. He raced from 10th to sixth in the opener to earn the sixth most points. In Thursday’s 35-lap $100,000 to win race that aired live national television (FS1), he raced from sixth to third following Larson and Rico Abreu to the finish.

In the night before the Royal, Schuchart had to use a provisional and charged from 25th to 8th and after qualifying third to open the Kings Royal, he raced from 15th and crossed the finish line fifth, but was penalized two spots and credited with a 7th-place results.

The run of success in July continued with a runner-up finish north of the border at Ohsweken and a pair of third-place finishes at Weedsport in New York. Schuchart led both main events at the ultra-slick Weedsport, and despite not earning a win, the team trucked home confident.

Schuchart then scored his best weekend at Williams Grove Speedway in quite some time with a fourth and runner-up finish in the Summer Nationals. That momentum was carried to St. Louis where the team captured the prestigious IronMan. Schuchart led all 55 laps en route to the $25,000 triumph, his second Ironman win.

A week later, the grand daddy of them all was the target and 1s team dug deep with Schuchart charging from his 12th starting position in the 50-lap main event. He reached third with just over five laps remaining, but finished fifth, his fifth top-five in eight Nationals starts.

The team left Knoxville hungry and ready to continue pursuit of more World of Outlaws victories. Another fifth-place finished followed at Ogilvie on Friday, August 15, before the DuraMAX crew traveled to another one of Schuchart’s favorite tracks: the Jackson Motorplex.

With four previous triumphs at the 4/10-mile dirt oval, the goal was to get back to their winning ways. He qualified fourth, won the fourth heat and dash event to start on the pole. He led the first 18 laps before Sheldon Haudenschild took the top spot. Schuchart wasn’t going to be denied as he battled back to claim the top spot with four laps remaining and went on to score the popular victory. The 47th WoO win of his career and fifth at Jackson.

“I’m just happy for my team,” admitted Schuchart following the win. “They’ve been working so hard to get us to this point. We started the season wanting to get to this point and now we just want to keep this going. Get better every night. I couldn’t do without them or all the great partners. The last couple of seasons haven’t been what we’ve wanted and we’re putting in the work. Every night matters and these kind of nights really are special.”

The victory capped a run of 16 top-five finishes in 22 starts since the Speedweek show at Williams Grove. It included nine podium finishes.

Since the Jackson victory, it’s been a bit of roller coaster book ended by KSE Hard Chargers first at River Cities (13th to fifth) on August 28 and Monday at El Paso County Speedway (20th to sixth). Schuchart, Sundby, Holmes and Klingbeil are focused on posting five strong nights in the Golden State over the next 10 days to continue the team’s trajectory ahead of final crown jewel of 2026: the Williams Grove National Open.

“Like I said before, we set some goals after Knoxville that we want to achieve,” concluded Schuchart. “We’re on pace to get some of those and need to be racing for wins at Stockton this weekend. Dennis Roth and his family have done a ton for Sprint car racing and we’d love to hoist that hardware Saturday. I can tell you that we are going to give everything we can to give ourselves a shot. I’m excited about this week, the rest of the season and 2027. We have built a great group here and it’s a lot of fun doing what we are doing together.”

Team RelaDyne’s Logan Schuchart set a goal for 2025 to win races and compete for the 2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship. The grueling 80-plus race season is one of the most demanding championship chases of any sport and so far in 2025, Schuchart and his Drydene/DuraMAX team have been up to the task. This past weekend, the driver of the Shark Racing No. 1s scored finishes of fourth and eighth and continues to hold down the second position in the championship chase through 18 races.  

“I say it every week, but I’m really proud of my Drydene/DuraMAX team,” said Schuchart. “The World of Outlaws schedule makes you be good on so many levels if you want to compete for a championship. This weekend, we raced at Jacksonville (Ill.) and Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, a couple of short tracks that we haven’t had a lot of success at in the past. To lead laps Friday and compete for the win was a great way to start the weekend and then to find a way after a tough start Saturday to finish eighth helps us continue building momentum. We’re ready for Eldora this weekend.” 

Schuchart’s previous best result at Jacksonville was an eighth-place finish, but on Friday he eclipsed that after qualifying fourth, winning the fourth heat and finishing second in the Toyota Dash to points leader David Gravel. He beat Gravel on the start of the A-Feature and led the first seven laps, before Carson Macedo took the lead on restart. Schuchart kept pace with Macedo and then battled eventual winner Kyle Larson for second a few laps later. Schuchart followed Larson, Brady Bacon and Macedo to the finish line to score his 12th Top-Five finish of the season. 

On Saturday night, Schuchart got off to a tough start by qualifying 21st in the field of 26 competitors. He didn’t move forward in the heat race or B-Main, but did start the 40-lap A-Main in 21st. The Hanover, PA driver put on a show in the main event passing 13 cars en route earning the KSE Hard Charger Award and his 16th Top-10 finish of the season. 

In the 2025 World of Outlaws championship standings, Schuchart trailers Gravel by 72 markers heading this weekend’s doubleheader at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.

Pevely, MO – The momentum has been building for Shark Racing’s Logan Schuchart early in the 2025 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign. Schuchart and his No. 1s team put it all together this past weekend during the Spring Classic at I-55 Speedway near St. Louis with a runner-up finish on Friday night and 40-lap flag-to-flag triumph on Saturday. 

“It means a lot to get this team to victory lane,” Schuchart said. “These things are so hard to win. Only having one win last year wasn’t in our cards, wasn’t how I thought our season would go. We definitely started out of the box this season strong. Very happy about the way things are going. I was really excited to get to I-55. It’s a track where we’ve ran good in the past, a lot of podium finishes and second place finishes. I knew that we’d have a good chance to win with the way the car has been going.”

The victory was career Outlaw win number 43 for the 32-year-old driver from Hanover, Pennsylvania. He bested a field of 60 competitors by qualifying sixth and racing from third to second in his heat Saturday night. He won both Toyota Dashes and started first both nights and led a total of 66 laps on the weekend. 

Through 15 races, Schuchart has 14 Top-10s, 10 Top-5s, 6 podium finishes, 3 second-place finishes, 2 Toyota Dash wins, 1 KSE Hard Charger Award, 1 Fast Qualifier and one victory. He continues to maintain the third position in the championship standings, but closed the gap on reigning champion David Gravel. 

He’ll look to get even closer in the coming week with the first of three stops at Knoxville Raceway, a track where he has three career victories. 

We appreciate all of our partners for being part of Shark Racing and we look forward to continuing to chase victories and a championship together.

BARBERVILLE, FL (February 21, 2025) – Logan Schuchart stood on the front stretch of Volusia Speedway Park with a wide smile after the final Feature of the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals. He hadn’t won the race, but a runner-up finish punctuated a winning week for he and the Shark Racing team.

The Hanover, PA driver and his team are open about last year’s World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car campaign. It didn’t go the way they’d hoped. After six victories in 2023 and a fifth-place finish in points, they slipped to a single checkered flag and seventh in the standings in 2024.

They wanted to come out swinging in 2025, and that’s exactly what they did.

With new crew chief Kyle Pruitt and long-standing team members Brendan Collum and Bill Klingbeil alongside, Schuchart opened the season by qualifying second quickest in his flight and finishing fourth in the Feature. The following night, the No. 1S improved to third.

In 2024, it took him until June 29 to find the podium. This year, it took two nights. Schuchart’s final two outings of the week led to a charge from 19th to eighth before his second podium with Saturday’s second-place effort.

“The first two nights we were good,” Schuchart said. “I knew we had a good chance to race well. It was the qualifying part I wanted to gain on and be better. We were top five the first two nights and then the third night we didn’t qualify as well. I felt like we were just missing a little bit of speed there that third night even though we raced well. I felt like the car handled good in qualifying. We just didn’t have the speed we needed. But what I was most proud about was the last night we kind of thought about how we could get more speed out of the car and keep our balance in the car in the same general area, and we were able to go out and set our first Quick Time in over a year and a half.”

There’s a long way to go, but the DIRTcar Nationals speed gave early evidence of the benefits of bringing Pruitt aboard to turn the wrenches. He’s a former driver that competed against Schuchart in the past before switching to crew roles in recent years. For Pruitt, the results are a proof of a productive off-season.

“It was very gratifying,” Pruitt said. “We were very blessed to come out of the gates running like that, but I think it’s a testament to what we did over the winter. Michael (Newman) with the motors. We went to Tim Engler’s and spent time there. Just everything with the cars, looking at every little detail of how they ran last year or the year before and maybe things we felt we could improve on.”

The connection between Schuchart and Pruitt is already clicking. The 42-time World of Outlaws Feature winner is accustomed to calling the shots himself. He’s hands on. He’s been his own crew chief to a certain extent. It’s a new, welcome dynamic for Schuchart.

“Kyle is more going to take on that role as a crew chief and kind of take a little bit of the pressure off myself,” Schuchart said. “I can lean on him for some of the setup changes and have someone to talk to about it instead of it all being on my shoulders, which I think has already proven to be very helpful. I think Kyle is very easy to work with. He’s very driven and passionate about being successful in the sport.”

“It’s a pleasure because he’s very intelligent,” Pruitt said of working with Schuchart. “He’s very hands on with the cars. He knows them from top to bottom. That’s how his granddad Bobby Allen taught him. It’s a good thing. It gives a driver a good outlook and respect for the cars, other racers, and what goes into it.”

Fortunately for Schuchart and company, a return trip to Volusia is next on the agenda as The Greatest Show on Dirt heads to the Barberville, FL oval on Sunday-Monday, March 2-3 for the Bike Week Jamboree.

Then, the campaign kicks into high gear with eight more races in five different states on a variety of tracks of all shapes and sizes. While the No. 1S crew isn’t overlooking Volusia, they’re ready to ensure their season-opening speed translates everywhere they go as Schuchart chases a championship in his 12th season.

“I feel like this can carry over to other racetracks, I hope,” Schuchart said. “We’ve always been fast at Volusia, so it’s hard to judge the whole season off of DIRTcar Nationals. But I’m happy with the start.”

“We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but know we’ve got a stretch of short tracks we’re running,” Pruitt said. “So, we kind of have some plans just like we kind of mulled over stuff for Volusia and got our time trial package honed in. We’ve done kind of the same thing with the short tracks. We’ve got a gameplan, and hopefully it all works out.

“I’m very confident that if we can just keep that momentum going in qualifying, whether it’s big tracks or a short track, and we put Logan Schuchart in a situation to excel, then he will. He’ll be at the front of the pack.”

Schuchart, Pruitt, and the entire Shark Racing team resume the 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car season at Volusia Speedway Park on March 2-3. Tickets are available now.
