Shocks by Hammer to Sponsor Wild West Shootout X-Mod Non-Qualifier Cash
FK Rod Ends Vado Speedway Park Hosts 16th annual Running of Mega Miniseries on January 8-16
Vado, NM (Dec. 17, 2021) — For the third-straight year Shocks by Hammer is continuing its support of the RHRSwag.com Truck Accessories X-Mod division presented by Barnett Harley Davidson at the Wild West Shootout.
On each of the six race nights at FK Rod Ends Vado Speedway Park, the Brian Diede led company will pay $50 each to the first four non-qualifiers in RHRSwag.com Truck Accessories X-Mod competition.
“In 2021 we changed things up with our sponsorship to provide some cash to guys, who didn’t have the best of nights, and I really got a lot of positive feedback on it, so we’re doing it again for 2022,� Diede said. “The Wild West Shootout is a cool deal, and a lot of racers from my area make the tow out there to race every year. It’s a good time, and it’s an event I’m proud to sponsor.�
A Huron, South Dakota-based shock-service business launched in 2011 by veteran Upper Midwest racer Brian Diede, Shocks by Hammer returns for a second year to sponsor the winter motorsports extravaganza that features six evenings of action for X-Mods as well as Super Late Models and Modifieds.
“The X-Mod division has grown to be a loaded field each-and-every year at the Wild West Shootout,� said event coordinator Ben Shelton. “Some of these racers travel over 20 hours to be at FK Rod Ends Vado Speedway Park, so it’s awesome to have Shocks by Hammer continuing to sponsor some extra cash for these competitors on a nightly basis.�
Shocks by Hammer specializes in custom shock packages for competitors across North America. The company’s repertoire includes drivers in all divisions of dirt track racing.
Additionally, Shocks by Hammer offers extensive services for the Fox Shocks utilized on Ford Raptor trucks. From rebuilds to repairs to complete replacements, the South Dakota company has become a one-stop shop for your Ford Raptor shock needs.
