Jackson Guns Them Down at Night Two of the Keyser Manufacturing Wild West Shootout By Ryan Neuharth January 11, 2015 – Tucson, Ariz After what could be described as an uneventful trip to Tucson in 2014, Lebanon, MO standout Tony Jackson, Jr., certainly has started off the 2015 Keyser Manufacturing Wild West Shootout on a much higher note. Jackson bested his opening night seventh by taking the lead from Don Shaw on lap thirteen of the 30-lap main event and steering his Keyser Manufacturing, Henryetta Ford, Darrell Langian Racing, Cornet, Club 29 to the night two win. Jackson would start from the outside of row one and would fall in line behind Shaw on the opening lap as Adam Hensel, Ricky Weiss, Jason Papich, Chase Junghans, Terry Phillips, Billy Moyer, Darrell Lanigan and Chris Simpson completed the top ten. Phillips made a quick move by bounding up two spots on lap two as Papich and Junghans raced side by side for sixth. Phillips made the move around Weiss for fourth on lap seven as Shaw rim-rode around the 3/8th mile oval as Jackson and Hensel followed around the low side. Shaw would continue to lead at the one-third mark as Lanigan bypassed Junghans and Papich to ride in the sixth spot. Jackson would make his move on Shaw as the two were even on lap eleven with Jackson moving to the front on lap twelve. Halfway home Jackson lead Shaw, Hensel, Phillips, Weiss, Lanigan, Papich, Junghans, Simpson, Moyer, and seventeenth starting Jimmy Owens. As sprinkles began to falls on lap seventeen, Owens would start living up to this nickname as the “The O Show” and began to put on a show flying around a cushion that was much improved over night one. He would crack the top ten on lap fifteen and start building up a tremendous amount of momentum in pursuit of the front runners. Henzel would dispatch of Shaw on lap eighteen as Lanigan did the same to Weiss and then Phillips. Jackson and Henzel would slightly ease away from the pack amidst last traffic as a war developed between Lanigan, Phillips, Shaw, Weiss & Papich with position swaps occurring all over the speedway. With just ten to go Jackson and Henzel continued up front, but Phillips has gone back around Lanigan for third with Shaw now fifth. The back and forth battle between Lanigan and Phillips swayed back in favor the Union, KY driver as Owens began to pick off the top runners vaulting from tenth to fourth between laps twenty and twenty-five blasting around the most unoccupied high side. Lanigan would poke his nose to the inside of Henzel several times over the final five trips but couldn’t muster enough momentum to make the move. Jackson would race unchallenged to the checkers in picking up his first career Wild West Shootout win.
