One week after scoring his initial triumph of 2025, Team RelaDyne’s Logan Schuchart was chasing another at “The Sprint Car Capital of the World”, Knoxville Raceway in central Iowa. Schuchart had a strong evening in a field that included all the best drivers in Sprint car racing, coming home with a third-place finish behind Rico Abreu and NASCAR star Kyle Larson.
“I’m proud of this Drydene/DuraMAX team,” said Schuchart, following his 11th Top-Five finish in 16 starts this season. “It was a good run, a podium finish here at Knoxville with close to 70 cars in as good of a field as you’re going to see in August lining up on Saturday night for the biggest prize in Sprint car racing. We worked hard to put ourselves in position to battle for the win. I wish I would’ve got to the top in the very beginning and just ripped around there, but it’s hard as the leader when you start like that to know where to go. I felt like we were good. We actually started catching back up to them the last few laps in traffic. Now, it’s back to work and start focusing on next week’s race.”
Schuchart qualified third and won both the WIX Filters heat race and Toyota Dash to secure his second pole position of 2025. He battled up front throughout the 25-lap main event and his third-place finish was his fifth podium finish of the season and 16th of his career at the famed half-mile dirt oval.
With the finish Saturday, Schuchart moved into second in 2025 World of Outlaws championship standings and cut into leader David Gravel’s lead. He will be back in action this coming Friday at Jacksonville Speedway in Illinois.

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.

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.
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.

HANOVER, PA – Logan Schuchart and his Shark Racing team announce today their 2025 racing plans to include a 12th consecutive season of competition with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series with their partners Drydene, DuraMAX, Federated Auto Parts and C&D Rigging all returning to the Shark Racing No. 1s.
“We’re looking forward to another great year of racing and can’t wait to get started in Volusia,” said Schuchart. “It takes so many people to make this all happen and I’m fortunate to be surrounded by so many. We’ve worked extremely hard the past 11 years to be out here racing with the best Sprint car drivers in the world on a nightly basis chasing our dreams. It’s special to continue doing it with our longtime marketing partners – Drydene, DuraMAX, C&D Rigging and Federated Auto Parts – and all of the manufacturers we work with. We can’t wait to get to Volusia in February.”
PARTNERSHIPS CONTINUE WITH DRYDENE, DURAMAX, FEDERATED & C&D
This season will mark the eighth year together for Schuchart and Drydene, the hardest working brand in heavy-duty lubrication. For the fourth season, DuraMAX Motor Oil, which offers full synthetic, synthetic blend, and high mileage motor oils, will also be behind the Shark Racing No. 1s.
C&D Rigging, the renowned millwrighting company offering custom millwrighting and mechanical erection of machinery and heavy equipment begins its sixth season backing Schuchart.
The grandson of National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Shark Racing team owner Bobby Allen will open season three with Federated Auto Parts racing the Federated schemed 1s in the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park February 5-8.
The team is pleased announce the addition of Mark Martin Motors as associate partners for Logan and the 1s in 2025. The Lancaster, PA based dealership is a family-owned and operated business offering a terrific selection of vehicles and service center.
Schuchart will continue being powered by Newman’s Racing Engines aboard his Triple X No. 1s. Smith Ti, DMI Components, Factory Kahne Shocks, Sander Wheels, Wing Dynamics and parts from Walker Filtration, All-Pro Cylinder Heads, SRI, Total Seal, System 1, Engler Injection, Brodix, Brown & Miller, BAM Lifters, Moose and PRIME Composites continue to be part of the program.
“I’ve said it before and it’s worth repeating, I work with the best manufacturers in the business,” continued Schuchart. “My grandfather started this team and built these relationships. We’ve been able to grow our program to one of the best in motorsports and we’re looking forward to a very successful 2025 and beyond.”
TEAM BUILDING
Chasing greatness in the World of Outlaws is the goal for every Sprint car team and it takes an army of people to compete at the highest level. The guys out on the road are crucial to success. For the past two seasons, Lonnie Judy has served as crew chief on the Shark Racing 1s with Brendan Collum as the car chief. Judy has decided to focus on his family in Delaware in 2025.
Shark Racing has hired veteran crew chief Kyle Pruitt to join the 1s team. Pruitt, a former driver that competed against Schuchart during his 358 days, has worked with a number of teams the past few years including RJ Jacobs, Kyle Moody Motorsports and McCandless Motorsports.
“Having a great team starts with the people you surround yourself with,” said Schuchart. “One of the toughest parts about the business is building a team of people that you are with basically 24/7. Change isn’t easy, but sometimes its necessary. We can’t thank Lonnie Judy enough for everything he’s done for me and this team the past two years. He taught me a lot and help lead this team to some historical results. Brendan has been an invaluable part of Shark Racing and continues to grow each year and that will continue next year. Kyle came to us highly recommended and we have already hit the ground running together.”
