Zeigler Captures Jim Dunn Memorial at Portsmouth
Bedford Speedway’s Keystone Cup Up Next

CHALK HILL, Pa. (10/21/20) – Mason Zeigler’s weekend at Portsmouth Raceway Park may not have went as planned, but he didn’t go home empty handed.

Coming up just short of a transfer position into the 40th Annual Dirt Track World Championship, Zeigler earned a spot in the Jim Dunn Memorial non-qualifier race. He would lead flag-to-flag in his JLE Industries No. 25z Ohiopyle Vacation Rentals/ MS Shock Therapy/ Rocket Chassis/ Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model to pocket $3,000.

“We had a couple of hiccups this weekend that knocked us out of contention for the big show,” said Zeigler. “We put the wrong carburetor on when we thought it was going to be slick and that just put us behind all weekend. I wish I could have started the 100-lapper with this car. We have a new package on this hot rod, and it’s been great. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this event possible and give us an opportunity to race for this kind of money during these difficult times.”

On Friday evening Mason Zeigler was one of 63 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series entries on hand at Portsmouth (Ohio) Raceway Park for the 40th Annual Dirt Track World Championship. Locking the Top-3 from heat races into Saturday night’s A-Main, Zeigler posted a fifth place finish in his heat race, sending him into the B-Main.

Needing to place second or better to make the $100,000-to-win Dirt Track World Championship, Mason came one spot short with a third place outing. Earning a spot into the Jim Dunn Memorial non-qualifiers feature, Zeigler outran Colten Burdette in the 25-lapper to secure a $3,000 payday.

This upcoming weekend, Mason Zeigler will be in action at Bedford (Pa.) Fairgrounds Speedway for the 3rd Annual Keystone Cup. The October 23-24 extravaganza culminates with a 60-lap, $20,000-to-win finale on Saturday.
