The 9th Annual IMCA Wild West Modified Shootout is ready to get started in just a few short days. Teams from Oregon, Washington, California, North Dakota, British Columbia, and beyond are expected to make the journey. The Mod Speedweek extravaganza has eight races in nine nights across some of the best racing facilities in the Western United States.
The party gets started on Friday, June 21st, once again at Siskiyou Golden Speedway in Yreka, California for the only date in the Golden State. Saturday, the 22nd, will have the tour make the short jump over the Oregon border to Southern Oregon Speedway. Making a detour off Interstate 5, the WWMS make the curvy serpentine journey west on Highway 42 to the Oregon Coast’s Coos Bay Speedway on Sunday, the 23rd.
The group will next spend Monday and Tuesday, the 24th and 25th respectively, nights at Cottage Grove Speedway before embarking on their farthest venue north, at Banks’ Sunset Speedway Park on Wednesday, the 26th. The lone day of rest is reserved for Thursday, the 27th, but the fine folks at FinishLine Graphics will host the Driver Appreciation Party at Willamette Speedway with great food and fun games. The week will be closed out at Willamette Speedway, in Lebanon, on Friday and Saturday, the 28th and 29th, where the 2019 champion will be crowned.
John Campos is the reigning IMCA Wild West Modified Shootout champion after a sensational last race points battle despite not winning a race during the week. Collen Winebarger and Jesse Williamson were the only multi-feature victors capturing two checkered flags each. Bricen James, Grey Ferrando, Nick Trenchard, and Ethan Dotson all managed to pay victory lane one visit in 2019.
Each race will be $1,000.00 to win and $100.00 to start. A full breakdown of nightly payout can be found below this release. As has been the case for the last few Wild West Modified Shootouts the fine folks at Speed Shift TV will be providing live lap-to-lap coverage of every single round.
