Shaw Scores Again in Wild West Shootout along with Schott and VandeKamp

Lonnie Wheatley, SAN TAN VALLEY, Ariz. (January 10, 2018) – Don Shaw made it two Keyser Manufacturing Wild West Shootout presented O’Reilly Auto Parts wins in a row by racing to victory lane in Wednesday night’s 30-lap Super Late Model feature atop the 1/3-mile FK Rod Ends Arizona Speedway.

With his second win in a row, the Ham Lake, Minnesota racer still has a shot at a $100,000 Keyser Manufacturing bonus if he can run the table over the final three rounds this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

“Let’s take this one step at a time,� Shaw said after his second $5,000 triumph of the six-race mini-series.

While Shaw earned Super Late Model honors, Lucas Schott and Jason VandeKamp both made their first Wild West Shootout visit of the year to Hoker Trucking Victory Lane in Modified and X Modified action, respectively.

Shaw gridded the 30-lap Black Diamond/Club 29 Super Late Models presented by M&W Transportation feature in the fourth position and took command when race leader Cade Dillard tangled in traffic after eleven laps.

Shawn paced the field the final 19 circuits and took the checkered flag 0.457-seconds ahead of reigning Wild West Shootout champ Bobby Pierce even as his engine lost power at the line.

“It shut off right when I crossed the flagstand, so I don’t know what happened,� Shaw explained.

Pierce settled for runner-up honors, commenting that, “We’ve got three more nights to go and I think we’re getting better and better figuring out this car more.�

Brandon Sheppard advanced ten positions to round out the podium in third with Mike Marlar maintaining his series points lead with a fourth-place run.  Chase Junghans rounded out the top five.

Starting from the front row outside, Lucas Schott became the third different winner in as many rounds of MVT/Border International USRA Modified presented by Arizona Differential action by winning the 25-lap feature.

Schott raced to the stripe ahead of Shane Sabraski and Jason Krohn.  Opening round winner Ricky Thornton, Jr., rallied from 19^th to capture fourth while Round Two victor Johnny Scott charged from 21^st to round out the top five.

After falling just a lap shy of winning the second round of RHRSwag.com X-Mods presented by Barnett Harley-Davidson competition on Sunday night, Jason VandeKamp rebounded by winning Wednesday night’s 20-lap main event.

VandeKamp raced from the front row to score the win ahead of Round Two winner Cole Searing with Steve Muilenberg, 14^th-starter Dewayne Tesch and Lucas Rodin among the top five.

After a final idle evening on Thursday, the Wild West Shootout continues at FK Rod Ends Arizona Speedway on Friday, January 1 at 7:00 p.m. with the final two tilts set for Saturday and Sunday at 5:00 p.m. each day.

A $5,000 winner’s share is up for grabs for the Super Late Models through the opening five nights of competition before the stakes are upped to $13,000-to-win for the January 14 finale.
