ROSSBURG, Ohio (June 5) — Mason Zeigler didn’t lob any angry accusations. He didn’t hurl F-bombs. He didn’t threaten retribution.

The five-race playoff for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series launched Friday at Brownstown Speedway, but it wasn’t one of the four Big River Steel Chase for the Championship drivers that landed in victory lane.

ROSSBURG, Ohio (Sept. 6) — Key takeaways and commentary at Eldora Speedway from Ricky Thornton Jr.’s first World 100 victory (which shouldn’t come as a surprise), Jonathan Davenport’s shortcomings, another near-miss for Dale McDowell, Nick Hoffman’s bright future and more:
