Consistency Continues at Cotton Bowl

Finding consistency is a crucial component to scoring wins and battling for championships in any sport. It’s paramount for drivers competing with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. The good news for Logan Schuchart and his Drydene/DuraMAX/Federated Auto Pars/ C&D Rigging Shark Racing team is that they have been consistent through the first dozen races of the 2025 campaign.

In the first 12 races, Schuchart has finished inside the top eight in 11 of them including two more this weekend at Cotton Bowl Speedway near Austin, Texas. He charged from 11th to seventh in Friday’s opener and came home fourth in Saturday’s finale. 

“We’re getting closer, but still have some work to do,” said Schuchart, who has four podium finishes so far in 2025. “Wins are what we are chasing, but to win these races you have to be in the fight. I’m proud of my crew (Kyle Pruitt, Brendan Collum and Bill Klingbeil).  We’ve gotten better each night especially on weekends where we race the same place on consecutive nights. Things didn’t go as planned Friday. I think at one point we were back in 15th, but I was able to get back to seventh. On Saturday night, we drove up to second and might have had something for (eventual winner) David (Gravel) if we could have got into lapped traffic. We never got that chance and a couple of restarts knocked us off the podium. Overall, it was a good weekend and we’ll continue to keep working at it. We have another opportunity this upcoming weekend at Lawton and 81 Speedway.”

Gravel has been the dominant driver early in the year with five wins in 12 starts, but Schuchart’s consistent finishes have kept him within striking distance of the top spot. He’ll continue his chase for victory number one of the season on Friday in Oklahoma.
