| 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.
