Format: Points are totaled during every night of the dirt racing event. At the end, combined points declare the Wild West Shootout champion for the year.
Bonus Money: Ahead of tonight, bonus money is still up for grabs. If any driver swept the week, winning all main events, they would have been handed a check for $250,000. That’s no longer an option. However, Jonathan Davenport remains eligible to win five of six, in which he’ll get a $100,000 bonus.
Jared Landers and Jason Papich line up on row one. Davenport will start in 5th. 30 laps of dirt late model racing is up next…
