Vado, NM (Dec. 28, 2021) — For the third-straight year, the drivers who start from the pole position in each Dirt Track Bank Super Late Model feature contested during the January 8-16 Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts at FK Rod Ends Vado Speedway Park will begin the race with some extra cash already in their pockets.
