Mason Zeigler Scores Lucas Oil Victory at East Bay
DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park Up Next
CHALK HILL, Pa. (02/11/20) – Mason Zeigler claimed his second-career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory on Friday in his JLE Industries No. 25z Ohiopyle Vacation Rentals/ MS Shock Therapy/ XR1 Rocket Chassis/ Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model.
The Pennsylvania native topped a thrilling battle for the lead with Kyle Bronson at East Bay Raceway Park (Tampa, Fla.), finishing just 0.068 seconds ahead of Bronson at the finish line.
"I knew Kyle [Bronson] was going to be tough because that cushion was still pretty good up there. The cautions really helped me because their tires were getting a little cool and I could just work that middle [groove]," Zeigler said. "I knew if I could just get ahead of him, clear him, and take his nose getting into [turns] one and two, we could drive away. He gave me all I wanted. I didn't expect that slider. I didn't think he'd be able to pull up alongside me again, and he sure as heck did. We just had barely enough room there. I did everything I could not to door him, it's just hard-core racing. This place is elbows up and get after it. We're just happy to come out here and put on a show."
The fifth round of the 44th Annual Wrisco Industries Winternationals found 57 drivers entered. Mason started his night with a second-place finish in his heat race. As a result, he locked into the seventh-starting spot for the 50-lap finale.
Late in the $12,000-to-win main event, Zeigler worked his way into the third position as he set his sights on frontrunners, Bronson and Brandon Sheppard. Zeigler inched past both drivers to lead lap 48 before Bronson regained control as the white flag flew.
The final circuit saw Zeigler and Bronson locked into a spirited battle for the top spot. As the duo exited turn four for the final time, it was Zeigler who forged ahead for a photo finish at the line.
