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!
