Shootout Results from USA Raceway
(January
22, 2012) The Shannon Babb Racing (SBR) team wrapped
up the 2012 version of the 'Wild West Shootout' today with
the $10,000 to win 'Bill Cheesbourg Memorial.' With one-lane
track conditions once again the norm during the daytime
show, Shannon Babb finished fifth in his heat race and sixth
in his B-Main. Unfortunately, he was unable to transfer
into the 40-lap 'Wild West Shootout' finale.
(January 21, 2012) Round
five of the annual 'Wild West Shootout' took place earlier
today at the USA (AZ) Raceway and Shannon Babb had his sights
on the $3,000 payday. In preliminary action, Shannon advanced
three positions during his heat race to finish third and
later scored a win in his consolation race. With track conditions
turning one-lane prior to the 30-lapper, Shannon decided
to pull off the racing surface early in the race and settled
for a twenty-fourth place effort.
(January 20, 2012) The SBR
team entered round four of the 'Wild West Shootout' miniseries
tonight at the USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona and another
$3,000 top prize was on the line. Shannon Babb improved
four spots in his heat race to finish fourth and later won
his B-Main. After starting the 30-lap feature event from
the inside of the eighth row, Shannon pointed his #18 Victory
Circle by Moyer machine towards the front of the stellar
field. He wound up picking off ten competitors to finish
an impressive fifth behind only winner Billy Moyer, Tim
McCreadie, Will Vaught, and Brad Looney.
(January 18, 2012) Shannon
Babb and his #18 team returned to action at the USA (AZ)
Raceway tonight in round three of the 'Wild West Shootout.'
Shannon drew the fifth starting spot for his heat race,
but unfortunately suffered mechanical problems during the
prelim. A broken rear-end shaft on his Victory Circle by
Moyer car dropped him to ninth in his heat race and Shannon
opted to scratch from the remainder of the $3,000 to win
program.
(January 15, 2012) Race two
of the 'Wild West Shootout' miniseries took place earlier
today at the USA Raceway in Tucson, Arizona. Shannon Babb
started seventh in his heat race, but advanced past five
cars en route to a runner-up prelim finish behind winner
Ross Camponovo. After rolling off fifth on the grid in the
$5,000 to win main event, Shannon had his sights set on
another top five effort in the 30-lapper, but he wound up
sliding back to a tenth place performance.
(January 14, 2012) The SBR
team made the long trek west to the USA Raceway in Tucson,
Arizona to compete in tonight's $3,000 to win season opener.
Shannon Babb drew the tenth starting spot for his heat race
and later passed seven competitors to finish the prelim
third behind only Jimmy Mars and Don O'Neal. By virtue of
his strong passing points total, Shannon rolled off from
the inside of the second row for the 30-lap feature event.
The Moweaqua, Illinois ace, who was making his first career
start in Tucson, ran amongst the leaders throughout the
race before winding up third behind only winner Billy Moyer
and runner-up Will Vaught.
