VADO, N.M. — Penske Racing Shocks will offer a monumental bonus for the Super Late Model competitors during the 16th annual Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts at FK Rod Ends Vado Speedway Park.
If a driver can win all six Dirt Track Bank Super Late Model features during the six-day event in January, they will receive a $300,000 bonus as part of the brand-new Penske Racing Shocks $300,000 Paydirt Jackpot. The bonus program also includes a $100,000 incentive for five wins and a $25,000 bonus for four miniseries victories.
“Penske Shocks is extremely excited to be a part of this great event. We started coming out to Arizona to attend the event around 2016, and it’s become such a great way to kick off the beginning of the season,” said Penske Racing Shocks General Manager, Aaron Lambert. “This event gets bigger every year, and to be able to support this event, like this, it means a lot. One lucky team could really make their entire year before they even get started. Every year, more and more of the top drivers make their way out to the Wild West Shootout, and we are really hoping to see one of them break the record and capture this huge payday!”
With the Wild West Shootout offering five features paying $5,000 to win and the $25,000-to-win Rio Grande Waste Services finale presented by Shaw Trucking, a driver able to pull off the feat of sweeping the miniseries would depart Arizona with over $353,000 in earnings including the Penske Racing Shocks $300,000 Paydirt Jackpot bonus as well as the $3,000 champion’s check.
