FK Rod Ends Retains track naming rights at Arizona Speedway for the 2021 Keyser Manufacturing Wild West Shootout

SAN TAN VALLEY, Ariz. (July 21, 2021) — Officials with the Keyser Manufacturing Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts are proud to announce that for the 2021 edition of the miniseries, FK Rod Ends will once again be the holder of track naming rights. The annual mega event is set to take place at FK Rod Ends Arizona Speedway on January 9 – 17, 2021.

The 3/8-mile oval, which hosts the Super Late Model-headlined racing miniseries, continues to be FK Rod Ends Arizona Speedway for a fourth consecutive year. This position keeps the company’s name front-and-center in all discussion of the ever-growing event.

“Maria [Melillo] and the team at FK Rod Ends go above and beyond, each-and-every year to support our event in every way possible,� Wild West Shootout promoter, Chris Kearns said. “Having FK Rod Ends as an annual supporter of the Wild West Shootout not only allows us to pay out over $235,000 in prize money every year, but it also adds another level of credibility to what we do. We are beyond grateful for their support.�

FK Rod Ends began its relationship with the Wild West Shootout in 2017 by sponsoring the event’s pace truck before stepping up its involvement with the track naming rights in 2018.

Based in Southington, Conn., FK Rod Ends quietly came on the motorsport’s scene three decades ago. Since then the part’s manufacturer has become prominent throughout all realms of the sport. The firm offers almost 10,000 combinations of rod ends and spherical bearings, which are crafted at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
