ZEIGLER COMMITTED TO UNITED LATE MODEL SERIES!
For Immediate Release: May 10, 2026
(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) – Chalk Hill, Pennsylvania native and reigning 2025 United Late Model Series Champion Mason Zeigler has officially committed to his second year on tour with the Jay’s Automotive United Late Model Series Presented by M&T Appliances Fueled by VP Racing Fuels.
Zeigler notified Series Director Trevor Zuver of his commitment to become an Elite Driver for the 2026 United Late Model Series Championship on Friday night after capturing his second straight United Late Model Series victory of the season. He now has his sights set on the tour’s $6,000-to-win championship point fund, along with more than $100,000 in first-place prize money across the thirteen scheduled events.
Zeigler will pilot his familiar #25z Rocket Chassis, riding on FOX Racing Shocks with Clements Racing Engines under the hood. Entering the season, he sits tied for ninth on the United Late Model Series all-time wins list and is already looking to climb higher. Just two races into 2026, Zeigler has collected more than $15,000 in prize money.
Fans can see Mason next during Trevor Zuver’s Independence Speedweek, running July 1–5, 2026. The week kicks off at Michaels Mercer Raceway Park on July 1 for a record-paying $6,000-to-win event before heading to The Dirt Track at Genesee from July 2–4 for three full nights of racing action, capped off by the $10,004-to-win U.S.M.C. Jason Dunham Memorial. The week concludes July 5 with the 10th Annual Mike Farr Memorial at Eriez Speedway, where a Speedweek champion will be crowned and the 2026 United Late Model Series Championship points standings are sure to shake up.
