ERB Takes Wild West Friday Action Over Thornton And Davenport Saturday, January 16, 2021 - by Steve Hixson Texan Tyler Erb (#1) earned the $5,000 Wild West Shootout victory Friday night after a head to head slider fest with already two-time winner Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga. and home track (Sunday winner) Ricky Thornton, Jr. at the Arizona Speedway. T-Erb-O was runner up to Davenport Wednesday night, who s now down to a $10,000 bonus, if the Georgian can pull off victories Saturday and Sunday. Saturday s race pays $5,000, but Sunday s finale pays $25,000 to the victor. Only Davenport has enough wins already to earn the WWS bonus that topped out at $250,000 for five of six race wins. If JD pulls off victories the next two races, his trip to the desert will have netted his team an estimated $45,000 in earnings for the eight day jaunt.
