Don Frank Floors Hayday Payday Contest Announced for the WWS

Mega Miniseries Set for Jan. 4, 5, 8, 10, 11 & 12 at FK Rod Ends Vado Speedway Park

VADO, N.M. (Oct. 10, 2024) — A brand-new promotion will be launched at the 19th annual Rio Grande Waste Services Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts at FK Rod Ends Vado (N.M.) Speedway Park on January 4 – 12, 2025.

The Don Frank Floors Hayday Payday will see a different lucky fan paired with a driver each night in the Dirt Track Bank Super Late Model division presented by Black Diamond Race Cars.

One fan will be randomly drawn exclusively from the six-day reserved ticket package holders each of the six race nights. The fan will get to test their outlaw skills by shooting a toy gun at a spinning wheel. The wheel will be decorated with numbers 1 – 6. The spot the dart lands on will be their lucky starting position for the main event. If the Dirt Track Bank Super Late Model driver who starts in that position wins the feature, both the driver and the fan will each receive $500.

If that night’s feature winner doesn’t come from the selected starting spot, the pot will roll over to the next night. The next night’s randomly selected fan from the six-day reserved ticket package holders will get his or her chance to shoot the gun at the Don Frank Floors Hayday Payday Wheel, selecting another starting spot with $1,000 on the line for both the fan and the driver.

Each night will see a new fan drawn with at least a $500 prize on the line for a driver and a fan. Ultimately, if the first five nights don’t produce a lucky winning combination, the final night of the six-race series could see a $3,000 prize possible for a fan and a driver.

At the bare minimum each lucky fan who is drawn into the contest will receive a Wild West Shootout prize pack.

“The Duty family with John, Justin, and Tricia Duty with Don Frank Floors have been attending the Wild West Shootout for about as long as we’ve been doing it, with John and Justin being regular competitors. They talked to us at this year’s event about becoming involved as a sponsor and we all came up with the idea for the Don Frank Floors Hayday Payday contest,” said Wild West Shootout promoter, Chris Kearns. “This is a really fun way to get our reserved ticket holders directly involved in the nightly action. It's cool to think that there’s the possibility of six different fans leaving there with $500 or maybe even one fan leaving with as much as $3,000.”
