At the 2009 Knoxville Nationals traditionally held at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, Donny Schatz captured his fourth consecutive title. Schatz has not lost a Knoxville race since 2006. The race was originally scheduled to take place yesterday, but was postponed until Sunday afternoon due to rain.

Schatz passed Joey Saldana for the lead on the 35th lap Sunday night and held on through the final five laps to collect the $150,000 first prize in the richest, most prestigious race on the sprint car circuit.
