Zirkle, a Two Rivers musher who finished second by eight seconds last year in the 300-mile version of the Quest, arrived at the Central finish line at 7:28 p.m. Chase Tingle of New Hampshire finished second at 9:07 p.m.
More than 200 miles beyond, on their way to Eagle, were Sass, Moore and 2012 Quest champion Hugh Neff -- the top three finishers in last year's race.
