Young Columbus racer celebrates successful 2020 season
Evan Shatto of Columbus just completed the most successful season of his young racing career to date in 2020. The 14-year-old, who is a freshman at Columbus East High School, collected 17 feature wins this season.
Shatto split time this year driving for his parents Eric and Nikki Shatto and Greg and James “Porkchop” Jones. He captured the Jennings County Outlaw Karting junior 3 track championship, where he was undefeated this season.
Shatto, who started his racing obsession six years ago racing radio-controlled cars, has been racing go-karts for the past year-and-a-half, mainly at Columbus and North Vernon. He followed in his father and brother’s footsteps.
