How the Shootout Works

Super Late Model drivers will compete for the Wild West Shootout points championship. Each event will serve as a new night of racing that will count towards the points. Additional bonuses will be rewarded for drivers who can win four or more of the six races. If a driver wins all 6 races, they will be awarded a $300,000 bonus on top of the race payouts and points fund. If a driver can win 5 of the 6 races, they will earn a $100,000 bonus. Finally, if a driver can win 4 of the 6 races, they will earn a $25,000 bonus. Theoretically, if a driver can win all 6 races, they would walk away with over $387,000 and a brand new Chevy Silverado.
