VADO, N.M. (Jan. 7, 2023) — Over 150 race teams crowded the pits at FK Rod Ends Vado Speedway Park on Saturday for the opening round of the 17th annual Rio Grande Waste Services Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts.

After picking up three wins in the 2022 edition of the mega miniseries, Missouri’s Kris Jackson hit the ground running in 2023 with a dominant victory in the Shocker Hitch X-Mod division presented by Barnett Harley-Davidson.

The fifth-starting Jackson pursued early leader Jimmy Ray before taking control of the lead on the eighth circuit. Once out front the driver of the No. J2 maintained a comfortable advantage for the remaining distance before ultimately crossing the finish line 3.017 seconds ahead of Andy Bryant, Jesse Haynie (started 17th), Reece Solander (started 15th), and Scott Bintz.

Meanwhile, in the Mesilla Valley Transportation / Border Tire Modified division presented by Rancho Milagro it was Jake O’Neil who wired the field from the Shocks By Hammer Pole Position to score the $2,000 victory. The Tucson Ariz. racer started on the Shocks By Hammer Pole Position with Tanner Mullens joining him on the front row.

O’Neil jumped to the lead at the drop of the green flag and paced the field for the remainder of the 25-lap feature to score the victory. He was followed across the finish line by Mullens with Dan Ebert, Rodney Sanders, and Tom Berry Jr. fifth.

For the second-straight year Rancho Milagro Racing is the presenting sponsor for the Mesilla Valley Transportation / Border Tire Modifieds. Thanks to the added support the class races four nights for the increased $2,000 to win purse along with a pair of $1,000-to-win programs.
