“We started fresh with a new crew of Bryan Sundby and Carly Holmes and they were great,” admitted Schuchart, who began his 13th season traveling the country with “The Greatest Show on Dirt”. “Our goal was to have speed and be competititve. We were able to accopmlish both with good qualifying results all three nights and battling inside the top-five the first two nights. We learned a lot and will come back in a couple weeks ready to keep digging.”

Schuchart opened the season last Wednesday night qualifying fourth in the field of 43 cars driving the Federated Auto Parts No. 1s. He was battling reigning champion David Gravel for third nine laps into the race when the duo made contact. Schuchart had front wing damage from the contact and his crew made quick repairs. He returned to the race and charged from 20th back up to sixth. After Thursday night’s program was canceled because of rain, Schuchart hit the track Friday and qualified second before finishing fifth in the main event. The team concluded the week Saturday night was posting the fastest time in hot laps and then fastest overal in qualifying. A heat race win followed before Schuchart finished seventh in the 25-lap finale.

The Shark Racing team returns to action on March 1 at Volusia for the annual two-night Bike Week Jamboree. He will debut the 2026 DuraMAX No. 1s Sprint Car at that event seeking his first triumph of the season.

Schuchart Adds Two More World of Outlaws Top-10s

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.

Drydene/DuraMAX Racer Claims Podium Finish with World of Outlaws

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. 

SCHUCHART SCORES FIRST WORLD OF OUTLAWS VICTORY OF 2025

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.

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.
