PARTY WAS AWESOME!!!

OMG!!!! Thanks so much!! What a turn out for the Feger Bash at Tri-Lakes,
I'm still exhausted!

Over 400 people packed the house at Tri-Lakes in Bloomington on November 15. Lots of other drivers were in the house, people from all over the place, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and of course Central Illinois. Think ya' all went through 5 kegs, plus ran out of bottles, all the jello shots and lots of other stuff. And yes, the kids that were there had a great time.

Food was great! Music was great! The auction went fantastic. Some of the hot items were the kool Feger blankets, the Gilmore sprint set, the beer pong tables, Shawn gave a great speech about Jason's Hoosier flats, so the Hoosier flags were hot sellers, plus lots of other stuff. Thanks to everyone who donated items! The winners of the Erb car kept putting it back in the auction, it was wild. Dennis has to be one of the toughest drivers out there, guess Jason better get in front of him more often.

Jason, Austin and the rest of us can't thank all of you enough . . . I'm so serious about this . . . all you, who buy any Feger stuff and support this team really do keep him on the track! Thank you so much.

Kentucky Lake -- last races of the year

Running late posting like usual -- a couple of weeks ago the guys went to Paducah for the Battle of Mods. First night rain out, second night I think third and last night started pretty far back in the field and moved up to fourth in only 25 laps.

Kentucky Lake is an awesome track and facility. WOW if you can ever make it down there you really should. We have some nice tracks in Central Illinois, it's hard for me to say, but the facilities around here don't compary to Paducah, Pevely or Kentucky Lake. The slightly bigger tracks are my favorites. The trek to Boswell, another great track is nothing when you have to drive 4.5 - 5.5 hours to get to the tracks.

Rokae, Wendy, Sam and I made the 5 hour plus trek for Sat nights racing. What an adventure, poor Sam is a drivers ed instructor -- lol, so she may have closed her eyes a few times with me driving :) Near Matoon/Charleston, IL went over some patched pavement and my car started beeping at us. I turned it off. We were making really good time and should be at the track early -- that's amazing for me, to get there early.

Any way, pulled off the ramp, into the frontage road to Steak & Shake. Passed the entry way into the S & S, turned around in the hotel and I noticed the car felt funny. We got out of the car at S & S, I went to the other side and the darn right rear tire was flat! Crap!!!! No way was I going to change the tire, I haven't had to deal with a flat tire in YEARS. So we saw a gas station, drove the block to the station. As I was pulling up to the air pump, there was $$$ blowing on the ground next the curb. I jumped out the car yelling MONEY. They all thought I was nuts. Grabbed the money, it ended up being only $9. Hey, it could have been all hundreds for all I knew. Sam got out of the car too. I aired up the tire, WOOOSH -- the air came back out.

DARN IT!!! We saw a Walmart down the road, so Sam ran to the main road to figure out the best route. We drove my poor car to Walmart. Of course it was going to take at least an hour to fix it. So much for being early.

We went and ate while waiting for the car. Eventually hit the road again. Pulled off the second exit near Marion, had to use the bathroom, get tea, etc. Once back in the car we headed to the interstate, the darn ramp to get back on the interstate was closed. GEEEEEZE, we can't catch a break. Sam asked some young guy at a stop light how to get to the interstate. He told us, go left, than right and left again. OK -- that didn't help. Pulled up to another guy walking, who gave us good instructions. Eventually we backpeddled to the first Marion exit. Now we really starting to run behind.

Hit the gas and made it to the track at the end of qualifing.

Thirteen wins!!

WOW -- how about it 13 feature wins in one season. Hopefully after this week-end the guys will have another win. So what about UMP National Points -- Jason finished third!! Also finished third in UMP Northern points. He finished second in Northern All Star points. So the team's had a great season. Still have the opportunity to pick up a few more wins.

Thanks to all of Feger Brothers Advertising partners :) All of you are so important to the team's success. Thanks so much!!

NALMS win at East Moline

Last Saturday night, October 11 at East Moline Speedway Feger captured the feature flying on the highside. The Bob Pierce race car handled great, any where on the track.

Jason started the night off with the fastest time in his group. He put on a show trying to get past Ray Guss Jr. in the heat race. Come feature time, Jason started sixth, by lap five was running second behind Brandon Sheppard. A yellow came out on lap five, on the restart Jason had Brandon passed coming out of turn two. He had a substantial lead on the pack the entire race while going in and out of lapped traffic.

Nice thing was Karen from Bell was on hand to see the win, plus the guys met a lot of people from the Quad Cities. Thanks to Karen for getting info about the team on the Bell website!

The track was in good shape, multi-groove. This week-end, Pevely -- the UMP Round-Up on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Next week-end Battle of the Mods at Kentucky Lake. If you know anyone that owns a Mod and needs a driver, have them give Jason a call, he'd love to run both classes at Kentucky Lake.

REMINDER -- Race car party coming very soon!!! Grab a friend and come on over.

Bad luck at East Moline

Jason had fast time in his heat.
Finished second in his heat.
Feature event, running second till the leader Erb ran over a lapped car, causing the car to spin infront of Jason. Feger hit the lapped car, buckled the nose of the car and had to go to the rear.
Moved back to seventh.

:( The leader shouldn't have to take out a lap car.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Darn it!! I hate the rain. I hate the cold rain even more.

What really stinks is the guys are out in the rain on the ground working on pulling the toter motor. Both Jason and Austin haven't been feeling to well, so chances are everyone will be sick by this week end.

And now for the GOOD NEWS -- thanks to Shep for finding a motor for the toter!!! YEAH!!

Plus I forgot to tell Joe thanks for towing the toter, Kris, the Advanced Shockman for towing the trailer and car to Eldora, and Tyree for loaning his truck to tow the trailer and car back to Bloomington.

THANK-YOU!! THANK-YOU!!
I can't say it enough, the support of friends, family and fans really keeps Team Feger at the track, plus in the case of last week-end enables them to make it home :) The shirts, hoodies, stickers, anything you purchase goes directly back into the race car some how. Thank you everyone that helps out!

Poor Old Toter and Eldora UMP Fall Nationals

Last Thursday afternoon the guys were waiting for Austin before heading to Eldora for the UMP Fall Nationals. They left early in the evening.

Around 2:00 in the morning, Jason called me -- the 'ole Toter couldn't take it anymore. She gave out at the Pizza place on Highway 127 before North Star. That SUCKS!

Jason called a few people, woke Steve Sheppard up and maybe Walden. Luckily for Team Feger, Kris (spelled with a K) Shockman the Big E. I don't know where the guys slept that night. I'm pretty sure the Posio stayed with the toter waiting for Joe to come in one of Shep's tow trucks.

So the toter was towed to Eldora by an even older tow truck. Jason called me the next day, letting me know to get in contact with Tyree Campbell of Campbell Construction. I needed to drive Tyree's truck to Eldora to haul the trailer and car back to Bloomington, while Joe towed the toter back.

So it went, got Tyree's truck, drove to Eldora watched the races, rode in Tyree's truck back with Jason driving and Joe towing the toter.

So how'd Eldora go? FAST TIME out of 69 or 70 cars. Group qualifing. The heats inverted four, so Jason started fourth. Did I mention that I really do prefer heads-up starts instead of group qualifing -- that's a whole other story. Anyway, in the first three heats there wasn't any passing if you started one, two or three that's pretty much where you ended up. There was some passing in the back, a few faster cars had slower times, so it wasn't too tough to pass some of the slower cars.

Jason finished third in his head, starting him 15th in the feature -- DARN IT!! Jeep and Matt Miller were in the same heat. Other heats had Korte and Faust, both tough competitors. Erb by far had the easiest time in his heat, seemed like he looked at the car leading and they drove into the wall.

In the feature Jeep shot out like a bat out of hell, he was flying to the front. Jason started out slower. By lap 20 Jason was running ninth, Erb was leading, Jeep and Miller were like 5th or 6th. Korte was right in the mix, but broke during a yellow, his car started smoking badly. After the yellow, Jason shot out towards the leaders, on lap 31 he took over 5th and was working on catching Faust for fourth. One of those nights where we wanted a 50 or 60 lap feature. Erb won, Miller, Jeep, Faust and Feger. Good showing for starting deep in the field.

Catching Up

WOW -- hadn't realized I haven't posted since I freed Sam from doggie jail.
Racing catch up time.

LaSalle --- was running second in the feature and had a darn flat :(.
They fixed the flat and for the life of me, I don't know where they finished.

Kamp --- hmmmm, if I remember right, Jason won his heat. In the feature started like third or fourth. Erb won the feature with Jason second.

Sam in Doggie Jail

The kind guy from the McLean County Doggie Jail just called me!!
There was a dog picked up right down the road from me that looks just like Sampson.

YEAH!!!!! But the poor guy will be in jail until Monday.

HELP!!! Sampson is Missing!!!


I came home tonight from work and both sliding doors were open. The girls Dixie and Voche were in the house. Dixie was exhausted. BUT SAM WAS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN.


We are on the Southwest side of Bloomington, IL. One half mile South of Miller Park on Butchers Lane.


Sam was last seen around 3:00 on Sweet Briar. The doggie jail may have him, as the police told me the had a report of a dog with a similiar description. But of course the doggie jail won't tell me until Monday :(. PLEASE, PLEASE IF YOU HAVE SEEN SAM OR HAVE HIM, PLEASE CALL 309-242-2705 at any time. Thanks! Tracy.


Feger Breaks Kamp Big Race Jinx -- Wins Kamp 50

After years of bad luck during the big shows at Kamp Motor Speedway, Feger Brothers Racing, Bob Pierce Racecars and Advanced Shocks bring home the big check from Kamp!

Around noon on Saturday, I thought the bad luck jinx had hit again. The guys were getting ready to head out and Jason realized the motor was right. YIKES!!!! That meant they needed to pull the motor. Austin was at Robbie's funeral, so Jason, Posio and Devin went to work. Luckily, the "lil motor" was ready to go -- thanks to Mulvain Motorsports!! Austin made it home around 1:00, sill lots of work to do. The guys headed to Kamp around 2:15 - 2:30 our time.

At Kamp the night started off great, fast time out of 32 cars. Due to the invert, Jason started fourth in his heat. A yellow came out with six to go, Jason had fallen to fifth due to three wide racing in front of him. At the checkers it was Matthews with Feger on his tail. That meat Jason would start fifth in the feature. Heckenast Jr was blazing fast in his heat, winning it with a large margin. Same with Billy Faust from Southern Ill. Walden won his heat.

In the feature Matthews took the early lead while Jason was moving forward. Walden was able to get past Matthews who ended up fading back. Faust and Feger had a good battle going for second. On about lap 15, Feger was second, after a yellow he showed Walden the nose of his car a couple time. Once Jason took the lead, Faust followed. Jason took off and the race became for third, fourth and fifth. As Jason had a lead on Faust and Faust on the rest of the pack.

It was GREAT to be back at Kamp Speedway, like I said on 4m, it's like going home. Great track, great people. We were all looking forward to the races at Kamp all week. Thanks to the Kamps and their track crew for a great racing surface!

Also, shout of thanks to: Bob & Angie Pierce of Pierce Race Cars, Advanced Racing Suspension, Campbell Construction, Mulligans, ABS, LaBamba, SVC Construction, Crutcher Mfg, BSB Mfg, Richardson Racing Products, Budda Racecars, BRT Racing Products, Stealth Racing Carbs, Sweet Mfg., Out-Pace, Weld Racing, All Star Performance, Wilwood Disc Brakes, Bell Racing, PRC Performance Rod and Customs, HyperCo, The V-Batter, KDK, Boitnott Lawn care, Bob’s Taxidermy, Triple T, Strong Concrete, Bairds, Hill Lawn care, and Showtime Signs (hope that IKE didn't hit their town too hard in Texas)

In Memory of Robbie Robinson of Heyworth

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Linda and James Robinson for the loss of Robbie. Austin and James were the greatest of friends in grade school, Robbie, James dad was such a great role model. He was a man who always put his family first. Just a great guy.

Linda, James we are truly sorry for the loss of Robbie.

Taking on the Big Dogs - WOO Pepsi Nationals

How about it? Team Feger took on the World of Outlaws (WOO) Big Dogs last night at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Mo for the $10k to win Pepsi Nationals.

Jason finished with a strong 4th place finish. First was Shane Clanton, 2008 World 100 winner, second Chub Frank, previous World 100 winner, and third was Kid Rocket with Jason knocking on his door.

Jason started 10th and within a lap or two was up to fifth. He challenged for the lead off and on for the first half of the race. The Delaware restarts really hurted as he'd end up being on the low side of the track when the highside was the place to be last night. Once Clanton pulled out front, he was the clear leader, but before that the action was three and four wide the whole track! The last half of the race Jason battled for third with Kid Rocket, he had to hold off a strong running Shannon Babb and Dennis Erb.

The feature event at I-55 was outstanding to watch. Thanks so much to the track for running the late models first.

Feger won the $500 bonus for the top placing car not to win a WOO race.

Feger Outduals English


Photo above was snapped by Kohls Racing Photos at Paducah International Raceway. Kohls always does a great job on his photos! The photo was on www.dirtondirt.com.

The rain has caused the Kamp 50 to be cancelled and rescheduled for next week, Sept 20. Tonight, do a dance to keep the rain away from Pevely. Grandma and I will be headed South for the World of Outlaws show at Pevely. All the WOO big dogs should be in attendance. Sunday night, will be the WOO show at LaSalle. GO FEGER!!!


Feger takes the $5k Wayne Coakley Memorial at Paducah International Speedway!

WOO HOO!!! The bad luck at PIR finally skipped the Feger team. Jason got past Terry English and Brad Neat on the last lap to get the big check!! Congrats to everyone!! Spoke to Jason, he said while in victory lane his right rear tire was off the wheel.

Thanks so much to www.racingcorner.com for posting a play by play. If you can ever make it to Paducah, ya gotta do it. That place has awesome racing!!

Here's an official short news release:
Jason Feger of Bloomington, IL took home the $5,000 at Paducah International Speedway's Wayne Coakley Memorial on the last lap of the feature event. Feger started the night off winning his heat. Other heats were won by Kevin Claycomb, Brad Neat, and Dennis Erb. The win at PIR, gave Feger, currently third in UMP National points his 11th feature win of the season. Following Feger at the finish line was Terry English, Brian Shirley of Chatham, IL and NASCAR star Ken Schrader who won a hard fought battle over Feger earlier this year at the PIR Tri-Track Challenge.

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS,

To everyone who purchased Feger merchandise at the World!!

Feger and Pierce Car Make the 2008 World 100!

Jason Feger started the World week-end drawing a late qualifing spot for the first round at Eldora Speedway, drawing number 185. Feger was one of the last cars out but laid down a good lap. The track had faded quickly after the first group of cars went out. Feger's second time was slightly better with a 15.130, making him 51st out of 175 cars.

Friday night at the World, every team's major goal is to lay down a FAST qualifing time, hopefully in the first 24 cars. The fast qualifier draws for a number for the heat invert, this year, Earl Pearson Jr drew a 6! That meant six cars invert for each heat.

A team's next goal is to hopefully get in the first two rows of your heat or get a heat with a few less Eldora winners in it. No such luck for the Feger team. After Holly and I left the speedway Friday night, I checked dirtondirt.com to see if the qualifing heats were up.

YIKES!!! Jason's starting point was heat 3, fifth row inside. OMG!!! The heat was LOADED!! According to dirtondirt, there were 25 major Eldora wins in this heat. Lineup: Kevin Weaver, Billy Moyer, Shannon Babb, Dan Schlieper, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, Scott Bloomquist, Steve Casebolt, John Blankenship, Jason Feger, Donnie Moran, John Mason, Andrew Reaume, Rusty Seaver, Johnny Wheeler, Freddy Smith, Jerry Rice, Ryan Vanderveen, Jay Johnson, Rone Perrine Jr, Chris Madden.

The heat started with the middle of the pack bunching up, giving the cars up front a bigger lead. Within a few laps, Jason was on fire and getting through traffic, he passed the sixth place car and was getting ready to pass fourth and fifth. Right there with Babb and Bloomer. A yellow came out, putting Jason back to seventh. Another yellow came out, Bloomer jumped the start, he was moved back two positions. Jason repassed the sixth place car and nearly had overcome Bloomquist. Sixth place finish.

The first B main. Feger started seventh, jumped early to third but faltered, fell back to sixth. Battled the fifth place car and had to get pass Marlar for fourth to make the World. They battled for a few laps and than Jason threaded a needle, getting pass Marler and a lapped car. Feger was fourth and made the World!!

Jason would start 27th, with good friend Jordan Bland making it through the second semi to start 28th. YEAH!!!! Jason survived the ENTIRE World and finished 18th, two laps down.

Feger Pierce Car World 100 Layouts





Here's the new wrap for the World 100. We don't have it in our anxious hands yet, but it should arrive on Wednesday from Texas. John from Showtime Signs, who designs and outputs the wraps for Pierces Kidz Mods helped us out by outputting the design. Austin came up with the idea of moving the dice to the front of the car. The skulls are now on the numbers.

If you make it to the World 100, please stop by and check it out. John told me it looks AWESOME!! If you need a Wrap -- please contact Showtime Signs or visit their website www.showtimesigns.net. Be sure to tell John that Feger told you to give him a call!




Farmer City 50

AWESOME NIGHT of racing. I was running late, had to bring the new World 100 tees to FC.

Got to the track just in time for the late model heats. Jason was started third in his heat, on the outside was a driver several people don't like, but I'm one of those who he just amazed a few times a couple of years ago with how fast and aggressive he tackled the track -- Don Oneal, the real deal. But during this heat, Feger was the show, putting a great move on Donnie O. Mudboss records videos at FC. He's going to send me the video, so I'll add that later.

The feature -- Jason was ON. Took him several laps to get around Shirley. Seemed like Brian had a rear-view mirror in his car and knew exactly how Jason was going to try to pass him, up high, down low, in the middle, I couldn't believe it. At one point Shirley was sideways and I thought for sure Jason was going to cream him and end up taking them both out. Squirrel was hauling too! After a restart Jason went up high and shot by Shirley. Next he started to run down Mr. Smooth Billy Moyer. Jason was able to show Moyer the nose of his car quite a few times, but what can you say -- he's Billy Moyer :) At the line, it was Moyer than Feger. Great race!!!!

Labor Day Week-end

Staying close to home, actually within an hour in every direction.
Friday night -- Farmer City 50 -- $5k to win.
Saturday night -- Fairbury -- $10k PDC.
Sunday night -- Lincoln -- Two $2k features, one is a make up from Monsters of the Midwest.

GO TEAM FEGER!!!

HATE TRANSPONDERS

A random thought ---
Just for the record if anyone tells me they like transponders, I'd let them know that I think they STINK. At Tri-City, qualifing and heat scoring was jacked up. So was the feature.

The same at Macon.

I think they might help the scorers, but the scorers need to score.

Maybe the transponders cause the race to be scored completely different, who knows.

Paducah and Pevely -- MARS - UMP Challenge

Last week-end the team headed South to Paducah, Kentucky for shows on Thurs and Friday.
If you're from Central Illinois and can ever make the trek to PIR -- do so -- it is an awesome place. Thurs was a rain out, Friday night was the World 50.

Feger crushed the competition in his heat and lead most of the race. Unfortunately a flat knocked Jason out with 8 laps to go. He was put in the rear of the field behind the lapped cars and moved up to sixth. Thanks to the fans who emailed and let me know Jason put on the show :)

Sat night was Pevely. The track was FAST and racey. Jason's heat looked like a who's who in racing. Front inside, Moyer, outside Erb (just a couple 100ths of a second faster than Jason) than Jason, Wallace and Frye, plus a few others. WOW!!! Nearly the caliber of a World 100 heat.

Jason was third in his heat, starting 16th in the feature. The front of the feature was Erb, Moyer, Shirley, Korte and others. Jason did an OUTSTANDING job at Pevely moving up to fourth and fought Shirley for fourth.

The night before at Paducah the race was 50 laps and we only needed 40 to win. At Pevely, it was 40 laps, he needed those other 10 laps. I'm darn near 100% he would have had at least third.

All in all it was a great week-end of racing against great competition.

Jacksonville & Macon

A couple of weeks ago Team Feger stayed near home to participate in a couple of Summernational make-up races.

Jacksonville started off rough, really rough. The poor car choked during qualifing there was something in the fuel line. Jason started dead last in his heat and was caught up in traffic for over four laps. The leaders were quite a bit out in front. Jason had the crowd on their feet during the race hitting the highside to capture third. He rec'd a standing ovation from the fans at Jaxs. In the feature, seemed like he had the car to beat, came flying up through the field. With about 15 to go he was in third. The scorers mistakenly put him in fourth and the track locked down. But -- KUDOS to Wests, the Jacksonville promoters who later watched the video and indicated their scorers made a mistake and was setting it right with Jason. Wes won the feature.

Next night was Macon. Jason ended up third in another exciting race at the Herald and Review. It was Erb and Feger battling for the lead. In lapped traffic Weaver got by Jason, but the next lap the yellow came out. The transponders didn't go back to the lap before, so Weaver was placed in front of Jason. Kevin was bad fast, but hey who knows what would have happened if he was put in third. Congrats to Kevin on the win.

Heading SOUTH this week-end.

Team Feger has left Bloomington again! After getting rained out again this week for the NASCAR special in Macon, Illinois the team headed South.

This Friday, the Highside Hustler will be at Ponderosa Speedway in Junction City, Kentucky to participate for the first time in a Battle of the Bluegrass special. The $5,000 race is co-sanctioned with the IRS.

The next night the team returns to I-55 Speedway in Pevely, Missouri for a make-up race for the Tri-Track challenge. Earlier in the year Feger lead most of the first leg of the challenge at Paducah. NASCAR star Kenny Schrader won the event with Jason second.

Two weeks ago Feger started in the rear of the feature and moved up to sixth.

GOOD Luck to the guys and Bob Pierce Race Cars!!! Hope there are updates on www.4m.net.

BACK TO BACK FEATURE WINS!!

Jason and Austin Feger and Possio captured BACK TO BACK feature wins.

Wednesday, July 23 at Spoon River Speedway Feger started sixth in the feature for the Midwest Monster Series promoted by Don & Bonnie Hammer. Feger went to the highside and put on a show.

The win was even more exciting as Bob Pierce was on hand to get to help celebrate in victory lane.

The next night at LaSalle Speedway, Feger won his heat and dominated the feature leading the entire race. Pierce race cars were one, two with Steve Sheppard capturing second.

Patrotic Mohawk on July 4

Yeah, the guys surprised us again on July 4 at Tri-City Speedway in Pontoon Beach. Overheard someone talking about the tall guy with the patrotic mohawk and knew it could only be one person -- my youngest son, Austin :)

Actually the entire crew had patrotic themed mohawks. I didn't see Devin close-up, but evidently he cut the center of a ball cap for his mohawk to come thru.


Here's a photo from www.dirtondirt.com of Austin's Mohawk for the Fourth of July.

Thanks to Bob and Angie Pierce

Bob and Angie Pierce really came through to help the Feger Bros Racing team stay on the track.
The Pierces have loaned a motor to Jason while his is being repaired.

Jason, Austin and the crew rejoined the Summernationals at Peoria, IL. after missing Lincoln, last Sunday. Jason finished a disappointing 12th. Hopefully things will start turning around. Jacksonville and Macon were both rained out and will be made up in August.

AGAIN -- SHOUT OF THANKS OUT TO BOB AND ANGIE PIERCE!!!

Austin Feger's Mohawk


The Mohawks




Left Jason Feger with his mohawk.
















HELL Tour has really been that for the Feger Team

Hmmmm -- let's see.
It is time for a little whining on my part.
The guys luck in the Summernationals has really been bad!!!

1. Lead most of KLMS Summernational -- have not one but two tires go nearly flat on lap 27.
2. Have a trailer flat every night of the first week.
3. Qualify bad at KAMP :(
4. Several tracks were for bottom dwellers.
5. Motor blows. Austin drives all night. Next night put the motor in. Drive back to Paducah.
6. New motor overheats!!
7. Time to come home again and figure out what the H is going on.

Check Out the Feger Crew!!!

Bet you might not recognize the guys during the Summernationals, if you see some punks -- take a double look!! It might be Austin, Devin, Posio or Cowboy.

Austin and Devin were the first, today Posio and Cowboy. Jason has been focused so much on the cars, he hasn't had the time to complete his deal.

Since the races started this season, they've been telling me they are going to cut their hair in mohawks for the SN.

They've done it. Austin's is a major mohawk as he'd been letting his hair grow out. Devin's is barely noticeable. Posio and Cowboy's are decent size. It is hard telling what Jason's will look like as he's been letting his hair grow out too!!!

Hell Tour Begins June 12 at Kentucky Lake Motorspeedway

The UMP Summernationals Hell Tour starts this Thursday at Kentucky Lake. From my perspective it has pretty much started at our house the week before the Dream.

I love the Summernationals, just hate the fact that the tracks are spread out so far!! I had planned on going to KLMS this Thursday, was going to make the trek and take Voche' the dog Austin rescued last year.

Now work is getting in the way!!! Hopefully, I can get out of a meeting early to pick up Smack and head to Brownstown. If not, we'll be at Kamp for sure!!!

Jason's helmet job was completed Saturday in between me running back and forth to the computer to find out what was going on with the Dream. It will drive me nuts being here while they're racing. Thank goodness for 4m and Dirtondirt!!

New Wicked Cemetary Shirts!!!


Have you seen the Feger Team's pit cart? It is wrapped in an wild green cemetary design. That design was the basis for a screen saver that you can download at the media gallery on jasonfeger.com.

We've made some slight modifications and created a radical new tee for Feger -- the black car is coming out of the Feger Cemetary on the front. On the back you'll get the cemetary with it's gates closed and all of the advertisers partnering with Feger Brothers racing.
The new cemetary shirts will be available at the Kamp Motor Speedway Summernationals this Saturday. Stop by Kamp's souvenir stand or TC Collectibles.

The Dream That Wasn't

Feger Racing worked all week before the famed Dream last Friday and Saturday at Eldora Speedway in Rossberg, Ohio. The team had planned on leaving late Thursday evening.

The team was repairing the damage from Macon, plus putting new side panels and graphics on the car. Around mid-night, Jason smelled something burning. While charging the race car battery had became enflamed, causing a major mess.

Jason had to run to Waldens to get a new battery around 1:00 Friday morning. Next he had to build a new battery box, as the old box wouldn't work with the new battery. Life sucks sometimes, but at least the guys weren't charging the battery at the track while asleep in the rig or while in the house. Things could have been really bad as typically a drum of racing fuel could have been right next to the battery.

At the Dream, about 15 cars were left to qualify with Jason and Jeep in the group. The rain started coming and delayed qualfications. Officials decided to requalify the entire field and only give each car one lap. Going out late was a major disadvantage, especially without a second lap.
Feger qualified 66th. He finished 12th in his heat, ending the goal of a Dream start.

Next on tap -- the Hell Tour -- the UMP Summernationals, kicking off at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway in Calvert City, Kentucky!

Disappointing Macon Tri-Track Challenge

Team Feger headed to Macon on Sun, June 1 after a rain out at the second stop of the Tri-Track Challenge in Pevely, Missouri.

Feger finished second in his heat to gain an eighth spot starting spot in the feature. A few laps into the feature Jason was passing a car for fifth spot, when the driver drove over the nose of the car, crunching the fender into the left front tire which caused Jason to spin in the turn as the car would not turn. Jason went to the rear of the 24 car field for causing the yellow.

While moving up to tenth, passing another car, Feger was on the outside and shoved into the fence in number three turn.

BAD LUCK ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

Feger Wins Feature Kamp Motor Speedway and Second Place at Paducah

Feger Racing continues to have a good season going by winning the Kamp Motor Speedway feature event on Saturday, May 24. The next Friday on May 30, team Feger headed South to Paducah Kentucky. Jason started on the front row of the feature outside of Terry English. English jumped to the lead on the high side, but had a flat tire. On a restart, Feger jumped to the lead. Jason had a substantial lead twice in the feature going through lapped traffic. Shirley and Erb were not able to catch him.

While Jason was building his lead, NASCAR star Kenny Schrader was moving up in the field. A yellow tighten the field. Feger retained his lead. Two more yellows would follow, the last with about six laps to go. Schrader and Feger swapped leads twice every lap for five laps.

On the last lap, coming out of two Schrader passed Jason. Feger was not able to get Schrader back. Once in the pits Feger understood why he was having difficulty with the car as the right rear tire was nearly flat.

An excited Jason talked to Kenny after the race. Schrader was equally as excited, telling Jason he loved the fact they were able to slide each other and not touch, plus that was the largest purse Kenny had ever won in his own late model. Both drivers drove a exciting race.

Jason Feger outduels Daren Friedman for the win at Farmer City Raceway Friday May 16, 2008

The evening started with Steve Sheppard Jr turning in fast time at 12.452 seconds. Twenty eight late models ran in three heats, with the first heat going to Steve Sheppard Jr in an exciting contest holding off Jason Feger, Kevin Weaver, Jimmy Dehm, and Mike Provenzano. The second heat went to Daren Friedman in another close race over Donny Walden, Wes Steidinger, Scott Bull and Brandon Sheppard. The third heat was also a close race going to Eric Smith over Derek Chandler, Matt Taylor, Kelly Kouski, and Aaron Ricketts.The semi feature went to Dan O'Connor over Chris D1ck, Charlie Hess and Ryan Unzicker.The feature started out with Sheppard and Friedman on the front row, and Friedman taking the initial lead. Jason Feger caught Friedman and through the middle part of the race the two raced side by side, swapping the lead several times. With only one early and one late caution, the sleeper in the race was almost Derek Chandler. Chandler had seen the fun the leaders were having and decided to join them, swapping second and third place with first one, then the other. That made some very exciting racing action for the fans. Eventually, Jason Feger won the race with Daren Friedman and Derek Chandler a very close second and third. Fourth went to Eric Smith, followed by last weeks winner Steve Sheppard Jr.

Feger Wins Third Feature at Kamp

Excitement over the week-end. Jason Feger won his heat at Farmer City Speedway last Friday night by a substaintial margin. Feger jumped to a quick lead in the feature only to have the car jump out of gear. At the time, the car felt like the transmission or drive shaft broke so Jason slowed to a stop, diminishing hopes of a second feature win at Farmer City.

But the night ended AWESOME!! Jason took me for a ride in Hammer's two seater!! OMG!!! Those of you that know me, know I don't have a problem speeding, but that doesn't come close to how fast you feel like you're going around the track. It literally felt like we were going to fly of number one corner!!

I swear I'd hit every car on the track if I had to drive :) The worst was going down low tight around the corners. Up high coming off of four I would have bet money we were going to slam the right rear in the car.

Saturday night Jason ended up second in his heat at Kamp Motor Speedway in Boswell, IN. This placed him inside the second row behind Frank Heckenast Jr. Mike Mataragas, jumped to an early lead. Jr was second with Jason third. Jason was running right behind Jr on the top. Heckenast Jr slowed at one point in the middle of turns three and four. I swear I thought Jason was going to slam him, you wouldn't have thought Jr would have a drivers side left on his car. Luckily, both the drivers must have willed their cars from hitting each other. Jason than worked on reeling in Mike in the 1M Rocket. Feger passed him down low and kept the lead. YEAH!!!!

Feger Wins NALMS Show at Kamp Motor Speedway!

Team Feger's Bob Pierce car was hooked up at Kamp Motor Speedway on Saturday night!

Jason started sixth in the feature. Both Shepherd and Jason jumped to the top. The looked extremely fast but were having difficulty passing Matthews. Jason made a bid down low and Shep was getting him up high. Heckenast Jr was running really good on the bottom.


Eventually they got past Matthews and reeled in Kevin Weaver. Shep was second and Jason third.

Jason jumped to the middle to get past Shep. On the back straight away, while lapping Brandon Shep, he and Jason barely touched. Brandon spun bringing out the yellow. Luckily, nobody collided with Brandon. With seven laps to go, Jason was second behind Dennis Erb. On the restart, Erb went to the middle and Jason went high. Jason nearly had Erb, the next lap they were side by side. Within another lap Jason pulled away -- smokin' fast.

The Bob Pierce car handled where ever Jason needed it to on the track. It was AWESOME!!! Chris the Advance Shockman was also on hand. So they were able to get a great photo in victory lane with Jason, Austin, Devon, Chris, Posio and Cowboy.

Heckenast Junior ran extremely well, finishing fourth. Richie finished fifth.

Heats were won by Walden, Erb and Matthews.

Thanks to the Northern All Stars and the track crew. The track was in excellent condition!
But OMG -- it was deadly cold again tonight.

Next week, don't know where they are going yet. If the weather isn't co-operating around here, they may head South.

Happy Birthday Nick Catonie!!

Last night was a surprise birthday party for Nick at the Western Tap. The original plan was to leave and go racing at Farmer City. Usually the rig is gone by the time I get home for work. Last night Jason was still checking the radar. It was very evident that sooner or later FC was going to get hit like Bloomington was.

After much discussion, talking to drivers at the track with their cars still in the rigs, talking to drivers who stayed home, talking to other people, should we go, should we stay, the decision was clear. GO TO THE BIRTHDAY PARTY!!


Guys left around 6:30 and really surprised Nick, who has been one Jason's best friends forever -- they played Knocker football together. The Western was packed with friends, Nick was really surprised. The guys even got to see some of their Knocker coaches.

Last year Nick and Aubrey got married and we weren't there --- you guessed it, we went racing. So, it was great to get to be a part of his surprise birthday party!

Loomis' rig pulled up around 9:00, so I knew for sure they made the right decision. Cowboy picked up Ted. I headed to the bar around 10:00 and drank my UV Blue. The band rocked. The Captain Morgan girls were there, they took some photos. If I get them, I'll post them.

The Western Tap is owned by Jay, one of Jason's sponsors, who also owns Mulligans Downtown Bloomington. If you make it to Bloomington and they're not racing, head to the Western or Mulligans, chances are you'll find some of the guys there.


Tonight??? First Gma and I need to attend Jeff Griffin's wedding. As soon as the wedding is over, we will be speeding over to Kamp Motorspeedway in Boswell, Indiana where Jason is the defending dirt late model track champion. Geeez -- doesn't look good in Bloomington, haven't checked the radar yet. Hopefully Boswell hasn't been hit!

FLATS STINK!!

Darn it!! Last night at FC, Jason had a flat in the feature. He started seventh, moved up to third and was challenging Ryan Unzicker for second when he had a flat tire. TWO FLATS IN THREE NIGHTS OF RACING :( Wes lead the feature every lap, Ryan had a good run for second. Shephard was very fast in the feature, started ninth and moved up to fifth. Something broke on Sheps car and he had a flat. He's had bad luck to, with a few flats last week. Earlier in the night, Jason went out to qualify first, unfortunately the timing light wasn't working well, so he had to slowly go around the track till it was fixed. Qualified seventh. Started sixth in the heat. Moved up to fourth. It was extremely cold and windy outside.

There won't be any races tonight. The weather is winning.
YEAH! It is Friday!
As of 10:45 -- Farmer City is still racing!
Unfortunately Kamp has called the races for Sat due to the forecast of SNOW.

Illini 100

Jason just called -- HE WON THE NON-QUALIFIERS!!! YEAH!!!!
Said Eric Smith was second. After bad luck with a flat and a bent lower control arm in last nights heat he had to try to get through a consi. Feger finished fourth in his consi.

As for the feature -- the first Illini 100 at Farmer City Speedway -- he said, as a fan you really couldn't have asked for a much better 100 lap feature that there was plenty of 3 wide racing! Said the track was a little rough in a couple of spots, but it was really a good race.

MontanaMagic kept 4m.net updated, so that's how I knew what was going on. Shout out of thanks to him!

Moyer won! Babb started in the back and moved all the way up to first, Moyer got him on the last lap. Sheppard -- one of my local favorites, had a flat and came back for a good finish. Here's the top 10:
1 BILLY MOYER
2 Shannon Babb
3 Steve Francis
4 Tim McCreadie
5 Wes Steidinger
6 Josh Richards
7 Rick Eckert
8 Darrell Lanigan
9 Steve Sheppard Jr
10 Darren Miller

Illini 100


Great night of racing!
Moyer was awesome lowered FC's track record to 11.9!!! Several cars lowered the record. Wonder if it had to do with the different tire compounds. Jason qualified 10th overall, not bad for the first night out in the car. Think there were like 55 cars from all over the country. Top level competition from the World of Outlaw drivers, Jeep, Ekert, Babb, Moyer, Miller, Smith, Shirley, Kid Rocket, Lanigan, Francis, Clanton, McCreadie, Birky and more.

Unzicker qualified 8th, Feger 10th, Eric Smith, 11th, Sheppard 14th.

Jason started fifth heat outside on the front row with Francis on the inside, Jeep was right behind of Jason. Francis beat Jason on the start and Jason went low in three to try to get him back. Izzo spun on the first lap.

Jason did well on the restart, seemed like he was going to be able to hang near Francis and had a FLAT rear tire!!! Darn it!!!

The guys had only two laps to get the tire changed. I saw them all running to the pit and they got Jason back out on the track. He had to start at the rear of the pack. Passed couple of cars, but when the flat occurred it bent one of the lower control arms :(.

Tonight they are trying to work their way through the feature through the consi. Hope he is able to make it.

Farmer City -- Practice for the WOO Show

Hope the weather holds out for practice at Farmer City tonight. Don't know if Jason will make it over or not.
They still don't have the wrap on the car -- waiting to get it back -- but of course we didn't send the art till early this week as we had some sponsors to add to the car. We have some great new product sponsors -- I'll be adding info to the blog about our sponsors in the next couple of weeks.

For now -- two of our bigger sponsors
BOB PIERCE RACECARS-- what can you say -- Bob and Angie Pierce! Jason absolutely loves working with his childhood hero. Both Bob and Angie work extremely hard making their business a success -- they are great people! We want 2008 to be a bigger year for Bob Pierce Late Models. Visit their site:
bobpierceracecars.com.

Advanced Racing Suspensions
Awesome products, awesome service. If you need suspension stuff (sorry don't know all the technical terms) you need to get a hold of Jason and get the Shockman's number. Chris -- the Shockman is great!! He makes it to as many races as he can, I always tell him I expect more when the Shockman is around. Chris will help you as much as he can, plus it helps that he has suspension products that are top notch! You can also check out their website:
http://www.advancedracingsusp.com/.

Hope to see you at FC this Friday and Saturday!! Come on local guys -- I hope Jason, Wes, Eric and the other local guys tear up the track and make it hard on the big dogs. If one of them can't win -- I gotta go with the Illinois big dogs! Come on Babb, Shirley, Miller and the others :) GO TEAM FEGER!
First post -- new at all this.
Why a blog -- thought it might be easier to update than our website
www.jasonfeger.com. Plus, I thought this way it might be easier for people we know around the country to communicate to us.

Hopefully, between Jason, Austin, Devin and myself -- we'll have several posts a week during racing season to let people know how the team is doing. Jason and Austin are the brothers of Feger Bros Racing. We jokingly say Devin is my third son -- he's pretty much lived at our house in the Summer since he was 12 years old. Posio also is dedicated to making the team succeed. Cowboy also has been helping this year. We've always been lucky -- Jason and Austin have an awesome group of friends who have helped over the years.

If you don't know anything about us -- Our family is highly involved in dirt late model racing -- by highly involved, I mean our family pretty much lives and breathes racing like all the other racing fanatics out there. At my house the racing season never stops. Every night they are out in the garage until usually mid-night or two in the morning. Typically every conversation at the dinner table centers around racing. If the TV is on -- it is on racing. I blame it all on my Dad, Red Griffin, he was an original dirt racing addict. Every week-end growing up -- our family went to the races. Than my brother, Rocky Griffin always raced. Jason and Austin loved watching Rocky race at Farmer City and the local tracks.

The dogs even get excited when they start up the old rig! Samson is ready to go racing. You can find some pixs of Sam and Dixie on our website. Both are Pit Bulls who love going to the races. Matter of fact -- we are all ready to go racing. Some day, some year we hope our season will start down in Florida.

Guess that is plenty of info for a first post.
