Wild West Shootout
Clayton Anderson to Rock Wild West Shootout with Post-Race Concert in Casa Grande
Rising Country Star to Perform Jan. 17 at FK Rod Ends Central Arizona Raceway
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (Dec. 10, 2025) — One of country music’s most engaging live performers is headed to the desert to perform during the 2026 Rio Grande Waste Services Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts. Country rocker Clayton Anderson will headline a free post-race concert on Saturday, Jan. 17, bringing his high-energy show to FK Rod Ends Central Arizona Raceway presented by Low Voltage Solutions, Inc.
The concert will take place on the Pit Boss Grills Fan Zone Stage, located just behind the grandstands, immediately following the night’s racing action. Admission to the concert is free.
Anderson, a southern Indiana native who has built a loyal following through relentless touring and powerhouse performances, has shared the stage with some of country’s biggest names, including Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Blake Shelton, and Brantley Gilbert. His music has racked up over 25 million streams, and he’s performed virtually everywhere, including at the Indy 500 and Eldora Speedway.
“From the first time I saw Clayton in concert, I thought, ‘Man, I would love to have him perform at the Wild West Shootout,’” said event co-promoter Chris Kearns. “The way he engages the audience is awesome. I’m a big fan. I have songs of his like Shotgun Rider, In the Dark, Drinkin’ in a Hotel Room, and others on my playlist. He’s going to be a perfect fit for our Saturday night show.”
