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!
