Feger and Wallace Win on All-Star Thursday
Macon, IL (July 22, 2010) - It’s been a tough two
weeks for Bloomington, IL., native Jason Feger. He felt he should
have been the winner
of the 30th Annual Herald & Review 100 during the UMP DIRTcar
Summer Nationals but finished second to Dennis Erb, Jr. Feger had
the last laugh, however, winning the UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals
series.
Feger was the fast qualifier of 24 UMP Late Models during the
Northern All-Star Late Model Series event Thursday at Macon Speedway,
started on the pole of the heat he also won, and started front
row outside opposite to Kyle Logue. He was having a good night.
The night got better as he passed Logue on the fourth lap of 30
to take the lead. Feger used the high groove to race and finish
second at the Herald & Review 100 but Thursday, Feger raced
on the bottom to hold the lead and take the $2,000-to-win top prize.
Logue would finish second. Roger Brickler stayed ahead of Richie
Hedrick for third. Of note, Macon Speedway co-owner Ken Schrader
finished eighth as he spent the majority of the race fending off
Terry Reed. Schrader did manage to win the second heat bypassing
Hedrick on the race’s last lap.
Kenny Wallace has been looking for victory lane at Macon Speedway
all season and finally got ahold of it Thursday in front of NASCAR
legend Bill Elliott on NASCAR Night. Wallace and Schrader joined
Elliott for an autograph session prior to the night’s racing
and Elliott stayed to watch the show from the track’s Turn
4 Lounge.
Wallace led all 15 laps of the UMP Modified feature and had little
competition but on the restarts did have to hold off the defending
feature winner Mark Tullis. Tullis would not be able to overcome
the fast Wallace and he would finish runner-up but did starve off
Wes O’Dell, who finished third-which was the finishing spot
for the All-Service Racing Parts and Sheet Metal Best Fan in the
Stands $100 bonus-and Clark Robertson finished fourth.
The 2010 Summer of Fun continues at Macon Speedway with the return
of the POWRi Midgets and Micros Saturday night. UMP Modifieds,
Street Stocks and both Pro and Amateur Hornets are scheduled to
race.
