Zimmerer Bests Jones to Claim 2022 OFAA Championship Defense

Heading into the final event of the 2022 Lone Star Forklift Championship season a battle between defending Champion Keith Zimmerer and multi-time former Champion Jimmy Jones was set to conclude at the Texas Motorplex on October 7-8th. With a season high sixteen cars on the property the competition was tough and by the late rounds it was none other than Zimmerer and Jones who were set to meet in the final round. By winning his first round of eliminations, Keith Zimmerer and team "Penny Pincher" led by crew chief Will Hanna had already clinched their title defense. This final round was for bragging rights, icing on the cake. In an epic drag race featuring the best of the best, Zimmerer's 3.81 at 196 defeated Jones' very close 3.82 at 182 mph, what a race! Congratulations to Zimmerer and company on an impressive 2022 Championship defense! ​
