Sedalia, MO - World of Outlaws driver Donny Schatz of Minot, ND made a stop at the Dialysis Clinic in Sedalia, MO when the sprint car tour stopped in town. The World of Outlaws tour was competing at the State Fair Motor Speedway.

"It's a real awakening when you see these people all hooked up to the machines. A person really takes your good health for granted, until you see what a lot of these patients have to go through. Most of these people come in every other day or so to get a dialysis treatment. We had a chance to meet every person that was in that day. We all shared a few stories and really had a great time," said Donny.

Donny has a friend that lives in Sedalia and she had made the arrangements for his visit. "Sedalia is one of the first places I raced," he added. "It's great to get the opportunity to meet all these people."
