Zeitner collects top IMCA Modified cash at midweek Winter Nationals show
SOMERTON, Ariz. (Feb. 9) – Nebraskan Justin Zeitner was the Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified main event winner at Cocopah Speedway’s midweek Winter Nationals show. Zeitner captured the $1,000 checkers from his outside row one start Tuesday night, taking the lead on the first of 25 circuits and staying in front through a series of cautions. The first-time feature winner and new Fast Shafts All-Star ballot qualifier took the checkers ahead of Tim Ward, Nick Deal, Tony Wedelstadt and R.C. Whitwell. “I got a pretty good jump at the start and it was smooth sailing,” said Zeitner, who won in the GRT ride that was displayed on Manufacturers’ Row at last September’s IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. “It’s feels pretty good to have won that race and it’s pretty cool to be on the All-Star ballot.” “I’m proud of what I did but it was more for the people back home,” he continued. “I’ve got a lot of people behind me and it was neat to see all the posts on Facebook.” [Read More]
