After enjoying a weekend off, Trever Feathers and his team returned to action Sunday night at Hagerstown Speedway in the Frank Sagi Tribute.
Feathers piloted a special wrap sporting the throwback 2012 wrap of Jeremy Miller’s No.1m.
In a special moment prior to the night’s action, race promotor Alan Sagi, Feathers and father Bo Feathers surprised Miller with the tribute wrap.
When Feathers finally hit the track, he put a smile on Miller’s face again with a stellar performance right out of the gate.
QUICK RESULTS
DATE: July 28, 2024
Event: Frank Sagi Tribute
Class: Super Late Model
Location: Hagerstown Speedway, Hagerstown, MD
Stats: 36 cars, Group A Qualifying 1st, Heat 1st (1), Twin-20 #1 16th (1), Twin-20 #2 DNS
WAITING FOR SOME LUCK
Feathers set the tone early by ripping off the quickest lap in Group A qualifying with an 18.511-second trip around the half-mile. It was good enough to place him fastest overall as well.
Dylan Yoder pressured Feathers for the lead during the opening laps of the heat race. He survived the battle and eventually pulled away by a few car lengths for the win.
From the pole position, Feathers took command of the race at the drop of the green. On lap six Mason Zeigler wrestled the lead away on lap six but it was short-lived when his No.25z suffered a flat tire on lap eight.
With the lead back in hand, Feathers made sure to distance himself enough to prevent any further challenges. He pulled away and appeared well on his way to victory in the first of the two 20-lap features that make up the Frank Sagi Tribute race.
With just under four laps remaining that all changed quickly. The drive shaft on Feather’s machine broke in turn three, ending his race. The failure caused enough collateral damage that the Winchester, VA resident was not able to make repairs to return for the second feature either.
“First off I’d like to say thank you to Alan Sagi for everything he does for racing in general but also for the Frank Sagi tribute race. He does so much for the event and for racing in our area. Since 2017 that event is special and will continue to be special. Very thankful for him and including me in with the Tuesday test session with Danny Dietrich. For me it was an awesome experience to be a part of.”, Feathers said.
“We had a really good Shane McDowell Racing, Team Zero Bloomquist car and we were putting a night together that we haven’t been able to in a while. To be able to make Jeremy Miller smile with the car made the night completely worth it. Also, thanks to every person who keeps our team going, we will keep chugging along and wait for our luck to get a little better.”
Veteran racers know what this sport is like. There are highs and lows and Feathers knows how to navigate them. If he keeps running like this, the wins will come again, probably in bunches.
“Too dumb to quit…that’s what it boils down to I guess.”, Feathers said with a laugh.
THE WEEK AHEAD
It will be a very busy short week in the shop. The drive shaft and lift arm are broken from Sunday’s failure but there is also other damage that occurred as a result. Feathers needs to determine what work needs to be done and what parts need to be replaced before he can set his plans in cement for the coming weekend.
If repairs can be made, Feathers hopes to travel to Georgetown Speedway in Delaware on August 1st for the Camp Barnes Benefit Stock Car Race. He owns two top five super late model finishes in three starts there so far this season in his Team Zero Race Cars, Fox Racing Shox, Leggett Engine Research, North River Farm, McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, George’s Used Cars, Martin’s Pumping, Feathers & Son’s Roofing, Coffelt Graphics, Shane McDowell Racing No.20.
Tentatively the team is also aiming to join the super late models at Port Royal Speedway on August 3rd. A final decision will be made later this week. Stay tuned to Trever’s social media outlets listed below for updates.
