Chase Junghans
Runner-up finish in Wild West Shootout finale
In attendance for the final three rounds of the 19th annual Rio Grande Waste Services Wild West Shootout presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts, Chase Junghans joined 39 Super Late Models at Vado (N.M.) Speedway Park on Friday evening piloting his Junghans Motorsports No. 18 Late Model.
After racing into Friday’s $10,000-to-win preliminary through a consolation race, Junghans climbed six positions in the 30-lap affair to place 11th.
With engine issues sidelining his primary car on the opening lap of Saturday’s feature, Chase brought out his secondary car on Sunday for the final round of the Wild West Shootout. Following a third-place run in his heat, Junghans advanced forward nine spots in the 50-lap affair to register an impressive runner-up finish. He joined race-winner Bobby Piece and Garrett Alberson on the podium.
