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.
