Dirt Million at Mansfield Motor Speedway Up Next
Chalk Hill, Pennsylvania (08/19/19) – Mason Zeigler scored a milestone victory on Saturday evening in his MS Shock Therapy No. 25z JLE Industries/ Ohiopyle Vacation Rentals/ XR1 Rocket Chassis/ Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model.
The Pennsylvania native topped a thrilling battle for the lead with Ricky Weiss at Port Royal Speedway to claim his first-career World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series win.
“This win has been a long time coming. We’ve been so close so many times. I told these guys before we went out, ‘We gotta keep this one in PA’,” Zeigler said in Victory Lane on Friday night at Port Royal Speedway. “We got a lot of laps around this place and I love coming here. It’s basically become like our home track, so it’s pretty cool to get our first Outlaw win here.
“I really want to thank my family, my team, my sponsors and everybody that has supports our racing efforts. We may have got a late start on the year, but we are rolling now and can’t wait to get to Mansfield this coming weekend for the Dirt Million.”
Mason Zeigler invaded Williams Grove Speedway (Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania) on Friday night, where he was piloting his Ohiopyle Vacation Rentals No. 25z Super Late Model in the World of Outlaws (WoO) Morton Buildings Late Model Series-sanctioned program. With 30 cars registered for battle, Zeigler edged his way into the opening night feature with the sixth-and-final transfer spot in his heat.
Rolling off 17th for the feature, Mason worked his way into the Top-10 early and was battling for a Top-5 finish until slipping over the cushion late in the race. He went on to rebound to an 11th-place finish
The following night at Port Royal Speedway (Port Royal, Pennsylvania), Mason recorded the second-fastest lap in his time trial group before picking up a heat race victory. Receiving the pole position in the feature redraw, Zeigler shot out an early race lead until jumping the cushion on lap 30, while trying to pass a lapped car. The mishap allowed Ricky Weiss to shoot past for the lead.
Throughout the remaining circuits of the finale Zeigler tracked down Weiss as the duo began a feverish battle for the lead. Mason ultimately used the cushion to take back the lead in the closing laps en route to his first-career World of Outlaws victory. The triumph marked his third of his season and came over Weiss, Brandon Sheppard, Shane Clanton, and Rick Eckert. He earned $10,000 for his efforts.
