Six nights of racing over nine days kicked off at FK Rod Ends Arizona Speedway for the 15th Annual Wild West Shootout. With over 170 entries across three divisions, a record year for the Wild West Shootout began in San Tan Valley as late model drivers hunt for a $250,000 prize by winning all six nights. Jonathan Davenport held off the field in a boatload of late-race cautions to pick up the opening night victory in the 2021 shootout.
