VADO, N.M. (August 10, 2022) — When drivers from across North America converge on FK Rod Ends Vado Speedway Park on January 7-15, 2023 for the 17th annual Rio Grande Waste Services Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts, they will all have one thing on their minds; reaching Hoker Trucking Victory Lane.
The 2023 edition of the mega miniseries marks the sixth-straight year that Dixon, Iowa-based Hoker Trucking will sponsor Victory Lane. The racing extravaganza features six evenings of racing from January 7-15 for the Super Late Model, Modified and X-Modified divisions.
“The name Hoker has become common place at Late Model races around the country and continues to be, here at the Wild West Shootout,� notes event marketing director, Jason Babyak. “Whether it be Hoker Trucking Victory Lane, their (personal) presence at the event, or their name on the side of several cars that are event regulars and contenders, it is clear that events like this are possible thanks to people like Jeff and Penny Hoker. As always, I look forward to being the first to greet all 2023 winners in Hoker Trucking Victory Lane. “
The trucking company managed by Jeff Hoker also sponsors multiple racers, including 2017 Wild West Shootout champion Bobby Pierce., and perennial Wild West Shootout contenders Chris Simpson, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Brian Shirley.
“We’re very blessed to have some amazing marketing partners for the Wild West Shootout, and Jeff and Penny Hoker are part of our much-valued fraternity. Since joining the event five years ago they keep doing whatever they can to help us grow the miniseries, and 2023 is no exception with them increasing their support once again,� said event manager, Ben Shelton. “We’re thankful to have them as both a marketing partner and as great friends.�
