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!

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 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!!!!
