[Tony Stewart Racing]

A Piece of History for Collectors
No. 15 STP/ParkerStore/Chevy J&J Diecast to Be Available For Purchase
During 49th Knoxville Nationals Following Unveiling of Mario Andretti Tribute Car


INDIANAPOLIS (August 5, 2009) – When Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Donny Schatz takes to the track at Knoxville Raceway in the No. 15 STP/ParkerStore/Chevy J&J on Aug. 12, the three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Series and Knoxville Nationals champion will help write another chapter of racing history. For the first time this century, the STP colors will adorn a 410ci Winged Sprint car in a modern-day Knoxville Nationals event. While the brand captured victories in the 1967 Daytona 500 and the 1969 Indianapolis 500 with Mario Andretti behind the wheel, this year’s Knoxville Nationals will present the brand with a new opportunity to put itself in the record books with Schatz.

Race fans will be able to take a piece of STP’s racing history home with them, as Schatz’s No. 15 STP/ParkerStore/Chevy J&J will be available in a commemorative diecast series. R&R Enterprises has produced three sizes of the car for purchase: 1/64th, 1/25th and 1/18th scale models.

The TSR and Donny Schatz merchandise trailers, which will be open daily during the Knoxville Nationals, will have the 1/64th scale cars available. Fans can place orders for the 1/25th and 1/18th scale models at the Donny Schatz merchandise trailer. Both the TSR and Donny Schatz merchandise trailers will have models of the STP car on display throughout the week.

Schatz will attempt to repeat history 40 years after Andretti’s Indy 500 win at this year’s Knoxville Nationals as he’ll look to take STP to victory lane with him in what could be his fourth consecutive event triumph. While his Sprint car will carry a commemorative design resembling the STP-sponsored Brawner Hawk that Andretti piloted to the 1969 Indy 500 victory, Schatz hopes to become only the second driver in Knoxville Nationals history to win the event four consecutive times.

Schatz’s No. 15 entry will sport a distinctive “Hunting Red” color scheme and gold wheels to mimic the look of Andretti’s winning Indy 500 machine. The car will be ceremonially unveiled with Andretti and Schatz on hand at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum (NSCHoF) in Knoxville at 1 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, Aug. 11. A public reception honoring Andretti will take place on the second floor of the NSCHoF Museum from 1:30-2:30 p.m., immediately following the unveiling of the No. 15 STP car.


The Knoxville Nationals is the largest Sprint car race in the world. Its stature in short-track racing mirrors the magnitude of the Indianapolis 500 in Indy car circles. Each year, the Nationals attracts the best Winged Sprint car drivers and race fans from all over the world to a four-day marathon, during which more than 30,000 attendees converge on the “Sprint Car Capitol of the World” in Knoxville. The prestigious event culminates with a 40-lap feature on Saturday, Aug. 15, that will be carried live by SPEED-TV.
