Mason Zeigler earned $4,000 for his Dog Hollow victory.
What won the race: Mason Zeigler of Chalk Hill, Pa., earned $4,000 in Sunday night's 45-lap Sam Barley Memorial at Dog Hollow Speedway, taking the checkers ahead of Ridgely, W.Va.'s Matt Cosner in the unsanctioned Super Late Model event. Zeigler dominated the feature, leading the entire distance after starting on the outside pole.
Quotable: “I really want to thank the Klinedinst family for giving me such a great car,” Zeigler said. “This hot rod was really fast both nights, and then on Sunday night we were able to seal the deal. We’ve had our fair share of bad luck and struggles since Speedweeks so hopefully things are turning around for us.”
Key notes: Cosner overtook Andy Fries for second during the race's second half but couldn't seriously challenge Zeigler. ... Kyle Hardy, who returned to family-owned equipment over the holiday weekend, crossed the finish line third but was disqualified when he weighed in 11 pounds light. ... Tim Senic moved up to third in the final rundown in his first appearance at Dog Hollow. ... Drivers failing to make the lineup: Andrew Wylie, Mike Mort, Alex Ferree, Dwayne Taneyhill, Jared Yantis, Ryan Claycomb and Darras Dineen. ... The race was originally scheduled to be part of the disbanded UFO Race Championship Series. ... Ralph Morgan Jr. won the Semi-Late Model feature and Jeremy Schaeffer took the Crates.
