Story By: A2DPR / TREVER FEATHERS RACING – PORT ROYAL, PA – Trever Feathers has had speed this season regardless of which of his cars he straps into, the McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, George’s Used Cars, Martin’s Pumping, North River Farm, Feathers & Son’s Roofing, Leggett Engine Research, Coffelt Graphics, Shane McDowell Racing, Fox Racing Shox No.20 super late model or No.27 limited late model.
He has a win, top fives, and top tens to his credit thus far. He has also had some bad luck, like the blown tire while leading a super late model race at Georgetown Speedway last month.
With another super race at Georgetown (DE) and a limited race at Natural Bridge (VA) on the schedule last weekend, the question heading into it was which side of the ledger he would add to.
WELL #$^&!
Going into the weekend, Feathers has recorded finishes of 3rd and 4th in his super late model. In the limited late model, he had a victory and a top ten.
Unfortunately, the trend didn’t continue at Georgetown Speedway against the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Friday night. With 40 cars on hand, Feathers had issues in qualifying and turned in a disappointing 17th-best lap in his group.
Things didn’t improve during his heat race. Feathers dropped out and was recorded as finishing 10th. His night ended there.
“We sucked tonight.”, Feathers commented. “Not any other way to say it.”
“The good news is I think we figured something out tonight. We need to change how we approach this place (Georgetown). We will find out next time we are back here.”
IF IT WASN’T FOR BAD LUCK…
Saturday night Feathers headed South from his shop in Winchester, VA down Interstate 81 to Natural Bridge Speedway to take on the Still Block Bandits Series with his limited late model.
Feathers put the 5th quickest lap in Group B on the books, a solid start to the night against 31 other teams. A 3rd place run in his heat race gave him a 10th-place starting spot in the $ 5,000-to-win main event.
At the start of the 50-lap affair, Feathers immediately claimed 8th and held that for nearly twenty laps. At the halfway mark he had advanced to 6th and was looking to crack the top five.
His engine had other ideas. Issues with fifteen laps remaining ended the night for Feathers. He was officially credited with 13th at the conclusion of the race.
“We had a top-five car tonight, maybe a podium. This Team Zero car has been awesome since we got it. One of the best-handling cars I have ever had. It’s tough having issues two races in a row while we were running near the front.”
UP NEXT
Feathers is waiting for word on his limited late model engine before making a final decision about this weekend’s plans. The options are Hagerstown Speedway with his No.27 limited late model or Port Royal Speedway with his No.20 super late model.
