Trever Feathers has a lot of experience with and knowledge of super late models, plus a proven track record behind the wheel. Victories, championships and numerous accolades have accumulated over the past fifteen years.
All of that only makes the 2023 season that much more frustrating, not directly because of the lack of success, but because of the doubt that creeps in about your abilities.
After dropping out at Port Royal Speedway and finishing 18th at Hagerstown Speedway the prior weekend, Feathers spent long hours in the shop making big changes to his car, trying to find the missing combination before heading to Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
Date: June 17, 2023
Track: Lincoln Speedway
City, State: Abbottstown, PA
Quick Stats: 43 cars, Qualifying 9th in Group A, Heat 3rd (3), A-main 15th (17)
Laboring at Lincoln
Feathers was among 43 drivers signed in for the Appalachian Mountain Speedweek show at the Abbottstown, PA oval. Either the big changes would solve his issues or he would at least learn what the solution wasn’t.
Feathers’ night started much like the last several had gone. An average qualifying run, 9th in Group A on this particular night. That was followed by another average result, a 3rd place finish in his heat race. These aren’t horrible results, and some drivers would welcome them, but Feathers has higher expectations of his abilities.
The Hot Rod Septic Treatment, Larry Royston’s Septic Services, Martins Pumping Service, McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, North River Farm, Clem’s Garage, Leggett Engine Research, Feathers & Sons Roofing, Coffelt Graphics, Larry Royston Properties, Larry Royston Equipment, Bilstein Shocks, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, Bo Feathers Racing, Barry Wright Race Cars, No.20 took the green for the 35-lap main event with Feathers on the inside of row nine.
When the checkers fell, it was a 15th place finish for Feathers. Another frustrating outcome given the long hours and hard work that he has invested this season to get better.
“We changed a lot since Hagerstown and ended up with the same result. That’s the kind of thing that will drive you crazy.”, Feathers said. “Honestly, we’re not off by much. It’s just a tenth or tenth-and-a-half of a second but with this kind of competition, that’s all it takes to go from being in the mix to being a non-factor.“
“I’m trying to do my job to get the best finishes I can get out of the car and to not crash it. It just hasn’t responded to the things we know are proven to work. I’ll be honest, there are weeks I don’t want to go to the track. But we won’t get better staying home.“
You could hear the passion in Feathers’ voice.
“I’m going to fight until I figure this out. When we finally get this car back up front, it will be very satisfying because we didn’t quit.“, Feathers said.
Up Next
This Saturday, June 24th, Feathers will race in his hometown at Winchester Speedway in an event in memory of his great uncle, Jimmy Spence. The No.20 will carry a special paint scheme to honor Spence.
Spence accumulated nearly 40 wins at Winchester, Hagerstown, Lincoln, Cumberland and Bedford over his nine year career in the seat of everything from enduro cars to limited late models to super late models.
