Kellen Chadwick Becomes Fourth Different Wild West Modified Shootout Champion; Ties Record For Most Wins In A Season

Kellen Chadwick Becomes Fourth Different Wild West Modified Shootout Champion; Ties Record For Most Wins In A Season

The 2016 Wild West Modified Shootout is finally in the books and it was one fantastic week of racing. Of the seven races on the schedule the only one to fall to weather, although a handful of others had threatening skies, was just the final feature at Willamette Speedway on June 15th. Still the tour would visit six different race tracks in California, Oregon, and Washington for seven races in eight nights.

Around ninety drivers would compete in at least one race during the course of the week. Teams and drivers traveled from eight different states (Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, North Dakota, Colorado, North Carolina, and Missouri) as well as one Canadian province (British Columbia). Kellen Chadwick would best them all in dominating fashion in his first time ever competing with the Wild West Modified Shootout.

Kellen Chadwick tied the most main event wins in a season with his four triumphs, which Brian Poppa also accomplished in the 2011 tour, while Mark Wauge and Ryan Gaylord also managed to visit victory lane. Chadwick also was at the top of the top five finishes category (four) and heat race wins (seven). Brad Martin and Mark Carrell tied for most B Main wins (two) while there was no repeat winner of the Last Chance Qualifiers.

Kellen Chadwick, of Oakley, California, would win the 2016 championship with a ninety-three point advantage over second place in the standing. He became the fourth different title winner of the Wild West Modified Shootout joining Jesse Williamson, Alex Stanford, and the aforementioned Brian Poppa.

Collen Winebarger would post a career best second place in the final points table. The Corbett, Oregon native had three top five finishes and two heat race wins. Winebarger’s best performances were two third place results at Southern Oregon Speedway on June 11th followed by Siskiyou Motor Speedway the following night.

John Campos would have a breakout campaign in this year’s Wild West Modified Shootout. Hailing from Keizer, Oregon, Campos, would finish among the top five once, was victorious in five heat races, and won one B Main. Campos’ only top five came in the final night of action at Grays Harbor Raceway on June 18th and was a third place result.

Nipomo, California’s Danny Lauer ended the tour fourth in the standings. Lauer was able to have two top five results, win six heat races, and one B Main victory. His best runs were two fourth place finishes. The first came at Siskiyou Motor Speedway on June 12th and the other was June 14th at Cottage Grove Speedway.

Alex Stanford had a roller coaster of a Speedweek. The 2014 Wild West Modified Shootout champion would only finish among the top five once, won one heat race, and finished first in a B Main once. Although he only finished in the top five on one occasion it was a strong second place run at Cottage Grove on June 14th.

The rest of the top ten in the final standings were (in order) Ryan Gaylord, Rob Ireland, Mark Wauge, Mark Carrell, and Bricen James. Wauge and Carrell would tie for ninth place.

Be sure and visit the Wild West Modified Shootout Facebook page in the coming months to learn about the 2017 schedule and any other news that we will be releasing. Finally we would like to thank all of the teams for making the trip, the facilities and their staffs for being such wonderful hosts, the fine folks at Sunset Speedway Park and FinishLine Graphics for helping put on the Appreciation Party on June 16th, and last but not least all of the wonderful fans that support the sport we all love.
