The "Wild West Shootout Heatseeker 127" is a prestigious event in the Super Late Model racing calendar, attracting top drivers from across the nation to the Tucson Speedway in Arizona. Competing in their powerful and sophisticated 600+ hp Super Late Model race cars, these drivers push their machines to the limit in a bid to claim victory on the challenging 3/8-mile paved oval.
