Wild West Shootout
Main Event – Report

A bit of track prep is taking place just ahead of the main event. They’re tilling up the top groove.

Jimmy Mars and Brandon Sheppard set the front row for the main event. The field exits the pit area and to the race track. They’re set for battle on night three with another $5,000 main event check to the winner.

24 dirt late models line up in a four wide salute for the Arizona dirt racing fans. 30 laps of dirt late model racing are up next…

Green flag, Mars and Sheppard run even at the flagstand. Sheppard drives it deep on the top into turn one and he’s clear by two car lengths off turn two.

Mars is under fire from Cade Dillard.
