Wild West Shootout
Penske 25-To-25 Presented by Schaeffer's Oil Returns to 2026 Wild West Shootout
Super Late Model Stars to Battle for $25,000 on Both Opening and Closing Nights of Six-Race Mini-Series
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (Dec. 11, 2025) — The 2026 edition of the Rio Grande Waste Services Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts will once again open and close with big money on the line for Super Late Model competitors thanks to the return of the Penske Racing Shocks 25-To-25 presented by Schaeffer's Oil.
The event’s richest nights bookend the six-race miniseries with a $25,000-to-win feature on both Saturday, Jan. 10 and Sunday, Jan. 18 at FK Rod Ends Central Arizona Raceway presented by Low Voltage Solutions, Inc.
With $50,000 available across those two marquee events alone, plus four $10,000-to-win programs in between, the Penske 25-To-25 has once again elevated the Wild West Shootout as one of the most lucrative and anticipated events on the dirt track racing calendar.
“Thanks to our friends at Penske Racing Shocks and Schaeffer's Oil, we’re able to kick off and close out the miniseries with a bang,” said event co-promoter Chris Kearns. “It’s part of what helps attract such a strong field of national stars to start their season with us.”
In addition to the $25,000-to-win purse, Super Late Model drivers will also chase nightly bonuses including the Rio Grande Waste Services Lap Leader Loot, which could push opening and finale night payouts to as much as $50,000 for a single race.
The 2026 Wild West Shootout runs Jan. 10, 11, 14, 16, 17 & 18, with complete programs for Super Late Models, Modifieds, and X-Mods each night. Full event info and tickets are available now at www.WildWestShootout.net?.
