USA Raceway – Wild West Shootout Wednesday Report
Davenport Doubles Up in Wild West Shootout!
TUCSON, Ariz. (January 13, 2016) – Jonathan Davenport scored a wire-to-wire win in Super Late Model action at USA Raceway on Wednesday night to snare his second $5,000 triumph in a row in Round Three of the Keyser Manufacturing Wild West Shootout presented by Black Diamond-Club 29 Race Cars atop the 3/8-mile clay oval.
Davenport gunned into the lead at the outset from the front row outside and aside from a couple brief advances from Darrell Lanigan, maintained command throughout aboard the TS Crane Service/Sundance Services Longhorn-chassis to remain eligible for a potential $100,000 bonus that would go to the winner of five races in six events.
While Davenport made it two-for-three in Super Late Models, Ryan Gustin denied Cade Dillard a third consecutive Modified win while Tyler Peterson captured his second X-Mod win in a row as 112 cars filled the pit area.
After winning on Sunday night, Davenport built upon his momentum with a dominant run from the front row.
“I really didn’t know where they were gaining on me at in traffic,” Davenport explained. I just tried to be patient and pick my lines to get a good run off the corner and not kill my momentum too bad.”
Lanigan chased Davenport to the stripe with Shane Clanton filling out the podium in third. World of Outlaws Sprint Car champion Donny Schatz made the most of his first Wild West Shootout appearance of 2016 by racing to fourth with Billy Moyer, Jr., beating his father to the line for fifth.
In Barnett Harley-Davidson Modifieds presented by MVT action, Missouri’s Ryan Gustin raced from the front row outside to take victory honors ahead of Darron Fuqua, 17th-starter Todd Schute, pole starter Matt Gilbertson and Jake Hartung rounding out the top five.
North Dakota’s Tyler Peterson raced to Border International and RealTruck.com X-Mods presented by Polar Industries victory lane for the second time in a row, this time crossing the stripe ahead of Grant Southworth, Lance Schill, James Binkley and Brandon Farrington.
The Wild West Shootout continues at USA Raceway on Friday at 7:00 p.m. with the final two rounds to follow on Saturday and Sunday.
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.
Single day tickets are just $20 for each of the first five nights and $22 for the Wild West Shootout finale on Sunday, January 17.
