You ever have things going along just fine, then *BAM*, it all goes awry? Well, that about sums up the weekend for Team Feger.
Friday night started out great. Starting on the pole of the heat, it only took the first two corners to know how that was going to turn out as Jason cruised to an easy win. Even with some other drivers doing better with the passing points, Team Feger would start the 50 lap feature in the second row. Plenty of time to race to the front.
Then the rain came.
Races cancelled.
Saturday night at I-55 Speedway proved to be an exercise of frustration for the guys. Unloading a proven fast car and a pole starting position in the heat, things were looking good. Then a broken axle at the start of the heat relegated the 25 car to the back of the consi. Haven't had to race many of those lately. Knowing they were in line for a provisional, the team experimented with setups as the track was not it's usual self. Taking the provisional put Feger shotgun on the field...24th.
With MARS using double file restarts on cautions, there was still the possibility of a good finish if things went Jason's way.
The feature went green for 40 laps.
While Jason was able to advance ten positions and raced his tail off to do so, a 14th place finish left the guys shaking their heads in frustration. Giving back some UMP points to a third finishing Dennis Erb was not in the plan either.
The guys will "clean their wounds" and move on.
Quote of the weekend has to go to Devin, commenting after the feature:
"Well...that sucked."
Yep.
