Feger bags two-win Hell Tour weekend, captures week 2 points title
For the second week on tour with the DIRTcar Summer Nationals, Jason Feger followed the miniseries to Moberly Motorsports Park (Moberly, Mo.) on Tuesday afternoon for the sixth round of the Hell Tour.
With a runner-up finish in his heat race placing him on the fourth row for the opener, Feger charged forward five spots in the 30-lapper to register a second-place finish. He followed Billy Moyer Jr. across the line with Kye Blight coming in third.
In a field of 31 DIRTcar Late Models on Wednesday at Davenport Speedway (Davenport, Iowa), Jason followed up the third-fastest qualifying lap with a third-place finish in his heat. Advancing onto the podium in the main event, Feger passed six cars to come home third, trailing Ashton Winger and Chris Simpson.
Back in action on Friday evening at Brownstown Bullring (Brownstown, Ill.), Feger topped his 24-car group in time trials before placing first in his heat. Grabbing the lead on the drop of the green flag in the feature, Jason led wire-to-wire to claim his seventh win of the season and 24th career DIRTcar Summer Nationals triumph. He earned a $10,000 payday ahead of Billy Moyer, Shannon Babb, Stormy Scott, and Billy Moyer Jr.
For another $10,000-to-win Hell Tour event on Saturday at Federated Raceway at I-55 (Pevely, Mo.), Jason qualified for the feature with an impressive sixth-to-second run in his heat. Breaking into the top-five, Feger jumped up three positions to record a fifth-place finish.
The second week with the DIRTcar Summer Nationals concluded on Sunday at Lincoln Speedway (Lincoln, Ill.) with Feger racing into the main event via heat race victory. Regaining the lead from Myles Moos on the fourth circuit, Jason paced the final 36 laps to capture the $7,500 prize and an additional $10,000 for the Week 2 points champ. He took the checkers ahead of Moos, Ashton Winger, Jake Little, and Billy Moyer Jr.
