Wild West 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.
