Wild West Shootout Fires Off this Weekend at USA Raceway
TUCSON, Ariz. (January 8, 2016) – Things will get lively in the desert over the next week or so as Super Late Models take to the 3/8-mile USA Raceway for the first of six rounds of Keyser Manufacturing Wild West Shootout presented by Black Diamond-Club 29 Race Cars on Saturday night.
There will be plenty of loot on the line as well, with a $250,000 bonus posted for the driver that can race to victory lane on six nights. Winning five of six will earn a $100,000 bonus, while four of six wins will be worth $50,000.
The wild racing action all begins on Saturday night, January 9, with Round Two to follow on Sunday night, January 10. A mid-week show on Wednesday, January 13, serves as Round Three with the final three rounds to run consecutively on Friday through Sunday, January 15-17.
A $5,000 winner’s share is up for grabs through the opening five nights of competition with AR Bodies raising the stakes of the January 17 finale to $11,000-to-win.
Along with a star-studded field of Super Late Models, the Barnett Harley-Davidson Modifieds presented by MVT and the Border International and RealTruck.com X-Mods presented by Polar Industries will be in action each night as well.
In addition to the healthy purse money up for grabs each night, a $5,000 points fund has been posted for the Super Late Models by Black Diamond-Club 29 Race cars along with the Keyser’s Quarter-Million Challenge for the driver that potentially becomes a frequent victory lane visitor. A championship points fund is in place for the Modifieds and X-Mods as well.
