It had been three months since Trever Feathers was able to race his super late model on back-to-back nights thanks to the impacts of untimely weather throughout the summer months.
Appalachian Mountain Speedweek in early June was the last time he accomplished the feat. Over this past weekend, Feathers not only got to race on consecutive nights, but he claimed a win instead of Mother Nature.

SHUT OUT IN PA
Feathers headed north on Friday for the $8,333-to-win Butch Renninger Memorial at Port Royal Speedway in Pennsylvania which had been rescheduled from the previous Saturday due to heavy rains.
In recent years, Feathers had finished second in the event on two occasions and was looking to finally better that and finally break into victory lane at ‘The Speed Palace’ in 2024.
A qualifying lap of 18.282 was good enough to rank Feathers 2nd in group one and give him the pole of his heat race. He went on to lead every lap of the heat race, winning by 2.087 seconds over Mason Zeigler.
Friday’s feature lineup used a handicapping format for the top two finishers of each heat race. Despite his qualifying effort and heat race win, because he had missed the most recent point race at the speedway, Feathers had to line up 7th for the 33-lap main event.
“Our car was really good but during the caution my left rear tire sealed over and I started dropping like a rock. Before that, I felt like I had a top-five car, maybe a podium if everything went our way.”, Feathers said. “It got to a point where it made more sense just to drop out rather than waste more fuel and tires.”
BACK-TO-BACK AT HOME
Saturday night Feathers had a much shorter tow to race 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.27 in front of his hometown crowd at Winchester Speedway in Virginia.
Feathers came out strong, posting the quickest lap in his group. He backed it up by leading every lap and winning his heat race by a 4.429-second margin.
The Winchester, VA native, who owns track championships and numerous victories at his hometown track went on to dominate the 40-lap A-main. From his starting spot on the outside of the front row, he led every lap and crossed the finish line over 8.5 seconds ahead of the runner-up.
“When we won here in this car in August I thought we were just ok and I was in a good position to make the most of it. We made some changes since last time and the car was really, really good tonight. Much better than last time.”, Feathers commented.
“The car was fun to drive tonight. I drove the last lap as hard as I did the first lap. It’s been a while since I had a car that good.”
The victory was Feathers’ second in a super late model this season and third overall including his limited late model win earlier this year at Hagerstown Speedway. He has finished in the top five of more than half of the features he has competed in this year.

Feathers hasn’t nailed down his schedule for the next few weeks yet. He does plan to compete in the Hills Memorial at Potomac Speedway on September 28th.
