 Matt Cosner put on a dominating performance Saturday to earn his first-career Zimmer’s United Late Model Series victory.
Cosner’s second trip to the winner’s circle this season came aboard his Nelson Auto Sales No. 66c R.H. Lapp Mechanical Contractors/ Rocket Chassis/ Cornett Racing Engine Super Late Model at the Greater Cumberland (Md.) Raceway.
“Nothing is better than a hometown win,” Cosner said. “It’s great to get our first ULMS victory. It got a little dicey there in lapped traffic, but we had a great car and was able to get the job done. We’re going to take this weekend off to get ready for Bedford next week.”
In a field of 21 cars, Cosner secured his spot into the main event with a heat race victory. Earning the pole position, Matt set a comfortable pace out front for the first half of the race until lapped traffic became a factor.
Flawlessly navigating his way through lapped traffic throughout the 30-lapper, Matt cruised to his second win of the season over Trever Feathers, Max Blair, Ryan Montgomery, and Gregg Satterlee. Tallying his first career ULMS win, Cosner earned a $3,000 payday.
