We didn't see that one coming. At the UMP banquet in Dec, Jason received the award as 2008 UMP most improved driver. How cool is that!!
The trophy is about as tall as Jason. I haven't seen it yet, Kris the Shockman from Advance has it.
Thanks to everyone that voted for him!!
In addition, Jason received third place in national UMP late model standings, missing second by five point. Plus second in Northern All Stars.
Hope 2009 is a great season as well.
2008 Track of the Year
WOO HOO!!! Congrats to Bob & Gayle Kamp, plus everyone that works at Kamp Motorspeedway for being voted 2008 UMP Track of the Year. That's quite an honor. Kamp was also the Track of the Year in 2005.
If you haven't been to Kamp, ya gotta go -- it is well worth the trek from Bloomington, IL. The track is bigger than most in Central Illinois, excellent facility, the fans and promoters are great, plus the track is FAST!!! You'll get to see some of the best side by side racing around.
Here's a bit of trivia -- Jason Feger won his first late model feature at Kamp.
Hope to make it there lots of times in 2009. My guess if there isn't a big show on a Sat night some place else, you'll see the tumbling dice at Kamp.

Have you lost a cute, very sweet puppy?
Have you lost a puppy?? This is the little guy that Holly found this morning. Hopefully the owners will contact us . . . this poor little guy is having the time of his life playing with Sam, Dixie and Voche. Unfortunately, the inn is full at our house. So if the owners don't find us, Jax (that's his name for now) will need to go to CISAR.
So, if you know a very good family that is looking for a very smart, good-looking little boy to join their family PLEASE let them know about our find Jax. ~ Thanks! Tracy

Found Lost Puppy
Found lost young dog/puppy around 8:10 behind apartment complex on Mecherle drive, which is behind Premium Pet Supply in Kmart Plaza. We are guessing HE is less than 10 months old. Reddish in color. Appears to have German Sheppard in him, darker muzzle, darker tail. He also has white toes. No collar or microchip. Contact Holly Moreman at 309-242-5307 or Tracy Feger at 309-242-2705. We will also try to post a photo. We will also leave a message with the Humane Society on Wednesday.

PARTY WAS AWESOME!!!
OMG!!!! Thanks so much!! What a turn out for the Feger Bash at Tri-Lakes,
I'm still exhausted!
Over 400 people packed the house at Tri-Lakes in Bloomington on November 15. Lots of other drivers were in the house, people from all over the place, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and of course Central Illinois. Think ya' all went through 5 kegs, plus ran out of bottles, all the jello shots and lots of other stuff. And yes, the kids that were there had a great time.
Food was great! Music was great! The auction went fantastic. Some of the hot items were the kool Feger blankets, the Gilmore sprint set, the beer pong tables, Shawn gave a great speech about Jason's Hoosier flats, so the Hoosier flags were hot sellers, plus lots of other stuff. Thanks to everyone who donated items! The winners of the Erb car kept putting it back in the auction, it was wild. Dennis has to be one of the toughest drivers out there, guess Jason better get in front of him more often.
Jason, Austin and the rest of us can't thank all of you enough . . . I'm so serious about this . . . all you, who buy any Feger stuff and support this team really do keep him on the track! Thank you so much.

Kentucky Lake -- last races of the year
Running late posting like usual -- a couple of weeks ago the guys went to Paducah for the Battle of Mods. First night rain out, second night I think third and last night started pretty far back in the field and moved up to fourth in only 25 laps.
Kentucky Lake is an awesome track and facility. WOW if you can ever make it down there you really should. We have some nice tracks in Central Illinois, it's hard for me to say, but the facilities around here don't compary to Paducah, Pevely or Kentucky Lake. The slightly bigger tracks are my favorites. The trek to Boswell, another great track is nothing when you have to drive 4.5 - 5.5 hours to get to the tracks.
Rokae, Wendy, Sam and I made the 5 hour plus trek for Sat nights racing. What an adventure, poor Sam is a drivers ed instructor -- lol, so she may have closed her eyes a few times with me driving :) Near Matoon/Charleston, IL went over some patched pavement and my car started beeping at us. I turned it off. We were making really good time and should be at the track early -- that's amazing for me, to get there early.
Any way, pulled off the ramp, into the frontage road to Steak & Shake. Passed the entry way into the S & S, turned around in the hotel and I noticed the car felt funny. We got out of the car at S & S, I went to the other side and the darn right rear tire was flat! Crap!!!! No way was I going to change the tire, I haven't had to deal with a flat tire in YEARS. So we saw a gas station, drove the block to the station. As I was pulling up to the air pump, there was $$$ blowing on the ground next the curb. I jumped out the car yelling MONEY. They all thought I was nuts. Grabbed the money, it ended up being only $9. Hey, it could have been all hundreds for all I knew. Sam got out of the car too. I aired up the tire, WOOOSH -- the air came back out.
DARN IT!!! We saw a Walmart down the road, so Sam ran to the main road to figure out the best route. We drove my poor car to Walmart. Of course it was going to take at least an hour to fix it. So much for being early.
We went and ate while waiting for the car. Eventually hit the road again. Pulled off the second exit near Marion, had to use the bathroom, get tea, etc. Once back in the car we headed to the interstate, the darn ramp to get back on the interstate was closed. GEEEEEZE, we can't catch a break. Sam asked some young guy at a stop light how to get to the interstate. He told us, go left, than right and left again. OK -- that didn't help. Pulled up to another guy walking, who gave us good instructions. Eventually we backpeddled to the first Marion exit. Now we really starting to run behind.
Hit the gas and made it to the track at the end of qualifing.

Thirteen wins!!
WOW -- how about it 13 feature wins in one season. Hopefully after this week-end the guys will have another win. So what about UMP National Points -- Jason finished third!! Also finished third in UMP Northern points. He finished second in Northern All Star points. So the team's had a great season. Still have the opportunity to pick up a few more wins.

NALMS win at East Moline
Last Saturday night, October 11 at East Moline Speedway Feger captured the feature flying on the highside. The Bob Pierce race car handled great, any where on the track.
Jason started the night off with the fastest time in his group. He put on a show trying to get past Ray Guss Jr. in the heat race. Come feature time, Jason started sixth, by lap five was running second behind Brandon Sheppard. A yellow came out on lap five, on the restart Jason had Brandon passed coming out of turn two. He had a substantial lead on the pack the entire race while going in and out of lapped traffic.
Nice thing was Karen from Bell was on hand to see the win, plus the guys met a lot of people from the Quad Cities. Thanks to Karen for getting info about the team on the Bell website!
The track was in good shape, multi-groove. This week-end, Pevely -- the UMP Round-Up on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Next week-end Battle of the Mods at Kentucky Lake. If you know anyone that owns a Mod and needs a driver, have them give Jason a call, he'd love to run both classes at Kentucky Lake.
REMINDER -- Race car party coming very soon!!! Grab a friend and come on over.

Bad luck at East Moline
Jason had fast time in his heat.
Finished second in his heat.
Feature event, running second till the leader Erb ran over a lapped car, causing the car to spin infront of Jason. Feger hit the lapped car, buckled the nose of the car and had to go to the rear.
Moved back to seventh.
:( The leader shouldn't have to take out a lap car.

Rain, Rain, Go Away
Darn it!! I hate the rain. I hate the cold rain even more.
What really stinks is the guys are out in the rain on the ground working on pulling the toter motor. Both Jason and Austin haven't been feeling to well, so chances are everyone will be sick by this week end.
And now for the GOOD NEWS -- thanks to Shep for finding a motor for the toter!!! YEAH!!
Plus I forgot to tell Joe thanks for towing the toter, Kris, the Advanced Shockman for towing the trailer and car to Eldora, and Tyree for loaning his truck to tow the trailer and car back to Bloomington.
THANK-YOU!! THANK-YOU!!
I can't say it enough, the support of friends, family and fans really keeps Team Feger at the track, plus in the case of last week-end enables them to make it home :) The shirts, hoodies, stickers, anything you purchase goes directly back into the race car some how. Thank you everyone that helps out!

Poor Old Toter and Eldora UMP Fall Nationals
Last Thursday afternoon the guys were waiting for Austin before heading to Eldora for the UMP Fall Nationals. They left early in the evening.
Around 2:00 in the morning, Jason called me -- the 'ole Toter couldn't take it anymore. She gave out at the Pizza place on Highway 127 before North Star. That SUCKS!
Jason called a few people, woke Steve Sheppard up and maybe Walden. Luckily for Team Feger, Kris (spelled with a K) Shockman the Big E. I don't know where the guys slept that night. I'm pretty sure the Posio stayed with the toter waiting for Joe to come in one of Shep's tow trucks.
So the toter was towed to Eldora by an even older tow truck. Jason called me the next day, letting me know to get in contact with Tyree Campbell of Campbell Construction. I needed to drive Tyree's truck to Eldora to haul the trailer and car back to Bloomington, while Joe towed the toter back.
So it went, got Tyree's truck, drove to Eldora watched the races, rode in Tyree's truck back with Jason driving and Joe towing the toter.
So how'd Eldora go? FAST TIME out of 69 or 70 cars. Group qualifing. The heats inverted four, so Jason started fourth. Did I mention that I really do prefer heads-up starts instead of group qualifing -- that's a whole other story. Anyway, in the first three heats there wasn't any passing if you started one, two or three that's pretty much where you ended up. There was some passing in the back, a few faster cars had slower times, so it wasn't too tough to pass some of the slower cars.
Jason finished third in his head, starting him 15th in the feature -- DARN IT!! Jeep and Matt Miller were in the same heat. Other heats had Korte and Faust, both tough competitors. Erb by far had the easiest time in his heat, seemed like he looked at the car leading and they drove into the wall.
In the feature Jeep shot out like a bat out of hell, he was flying to the front. Jason started out slower. By lap 20 Jason was running ninth, Erb was leading, Jeep and Miller were like 5th or 6th. Korte was right in the mix, but broke during a yellow, his car started smoking badly. After the yellow, Jason shot out towards the leaders, on lap 31 he took over 5th and was working on catching Faust for fourth. One of those nights where we wanted a 50 or 60 lap feature. Erb won, Miller, Jeep, Faust and Feger. Good showing for starting deep in the field.

Catching Up
WOW -- hadn't realized I haven't posted since I freed Sam from doggie jail.
Racing catch up time.
LaSalle --- was running second in the feature and had a darn flat :(.
They fixed the flat and for the life of me, I don't know where they finished.
Kamp --- hmmmm, if I remember right, Jason won his heat. In the feature started like third or fourth. Erb won the feature with Jason second.

Sam in Doggie Jail
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!
Also, shout of thanks to: Bob & Angie Pierce of Pierce Race Cars, Advanced Racing Suspension, Campbell Construction, Mulligans, ABS, LaBamba, SVC Construction, Crutcher Mfg, BSB Mfg, Richardson Racing Products, Budda Racecars, BRT Racing Products, Stealth Racing Carbs, Sweet Mfg., Out-Pace, Weld Racing, All Star Performance, Wilwood Disc Brakes, Bell Racing, PRC Performance Rod and Customs, HyperCo, The V-Batter, KDK, Boitnott Lawn care, Bob’s Taxidermy, Triple T, Strong Concrete, Bairds, Hill Lawn care, and Showtime Signs (hope that IKE didn't hit their town too hard in Texas)

In Memory of Robbie Robinson of Heyworth
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Linda and James Robinson for the loss of Robbie. Austin and James were the greatest of friends in grade school, Robbie, James dad was such a great role model. He was a man who always put his family first. Just a great guy.
