WILD WEST SHOOTOUT RESULTS FROM USA RACEWAY
(January 22, 2012)
Don O'Neal wrapped up the 2012 'Wild West Shootout' today with the $10,000 to win 'Bill Cheesbourg Memorial' at the USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona. Don ran third in both his heat race and his B-Main, which locked him into the nineteenth starting spot for the 40-lap feature event. Despite the predominantly one-groove track, Don was still able to move past nine competitors en route to a tenth place effort in the 'Wild West Shootout' finale.

(January 21, 2012) Race five of the annual 'Wild West Shootout' took place earlier today at the USA (AZ) Raceway and another $3,000 payday was up for grabs. Don O'Neal did not have luck on his side today, as he was unable to transfer into the 30-lap A-Main. He finished fourth in his heat race, but later suffered problems in his consolation race that dropped him to a fourteenth place finish. The MasterSbilt House Car team will look for better luck tomorrow in the $10,000 to win 'Wild West Shootout' finale.

(January 20, 2012) Don O'Neal and the #71 team were looking for their second straight win tonight in round four of the 'Wild West Shootout' miniseries. Don won his heat race in exciting fashion, but did not go to the scales following the prelim. Unfortunately, he was disqualified from his heat race and did not return to the track for his B-Main. Don instead was forced to watch the $3,000 to win main event from the grandstands.

(January 18, 2012) The "Real Deal" Don O'Neal picked up his first victory of the young 2012 racing season tonight in round three of the 'Wild West Shootout' at the USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona! Don charged past five competitors in his heat race to finish third and later rolled off from the pole position in the 30-lap feature event. The Martinsville, Indiana ace grabbed the point on lap 13 when leader Shane Clanton hit the wall and led the rest of the way to garner the $3,000 paycheck. Don beat Billy Moyer, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, Clay Daly, and Terry Phillips to the checkers!

(January 15, 2012) Race two of the 'Wild West Shootout' miniseries took place today at the USA Raceway and a $5,000 top prize was on the line. Don O'Neal passed five competitors in heat race action to finish a solid runner-up behind only Shane Clanton. When the 30-lap feature started, Don rolled off from the inside of the fourth row. The popular driver known as the "Real Deal" worked his way up a couple of spots to finish in the fifth position behind only winner Tim McCreadie, John Anderson, Billy Moyer, Jr., and Jimmy Mars.

(January 14, 2012) Don O'Neal and the MasterSbilt House Car team made the long journey to the USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona for tonight's season opening event. The annual 'Wild West Shootout' kicked off with a $3,000 to win showdown tonight. Don drew the fifth starting spot for his heat race and advanced up to second behind only prelim winner Jimmy Mars. Even with the solid finish, Don did not earn enough passing points to transfer directly into the feature, but he later won his B-Main to earn a spot in the 30-lapper. The Martinsville, Indiana native started fourteenth in his season opener and worked past eight competitors to finish a strong sixth behind only winner Billy Moyer, Will Vaught, Shannon Babb, Jimmy Mars, and Tim McCreadie.
