Story By: A2DPR / TREVER FEATHERS RACING – HAGERSTOWN, MD – Trever Feathers opted to dust off his limited late model this past weekend and take it to Hagerstown Speedway where he had captured a win with that car earlier this season.
Feathers has been supporting the Steel Block Clash series every chance he has gotten this year and Saturday’s $3,000-to-win installment was no different.
EVERY POSITION MATTERS
Feathers got his night off on the right foot with the 5th quickest lap in Group A qualifying, putting his Team Zero Race Cars, 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.27 on the inside of row two for his heat race.
After some close-quarters racing for most of the opening lap of the heat race, Feathers took sole possession of 3rd place at the line. Devin Hart challenged the Winchester, VA native for the spot, with the two swapping positions a couple times over the next two laps. The battle allowed Kyle Lear to slip into 3rd just before a caution appeared with four laps remaining.
On the ensuing restart, Feathers moved into 4th before another exchange with Hart left him in 5th at the finish. It was good enough to transfer to the A-main but it meant he would take the green from 17th instead of potentially as high as 9th had he been able to secure 3rd in the heat.
In the 30-lap feature, which clicked up without a caution in just over eleven minutes, Feathers put on a passing clinic. With no breaks and no help to bunch the field, he worked his way methodically past another car about every 2.5 laps.
At the finish, Feathers had passed 11 cars for a 6th-place finish.
“This car really likes Hagerstown.”, Feathers said. “We timed really well but even though we were fast, we didn’t get the finish we should have in the heat race, which would have put us in a better position to compete for at least a podium finish tonight. I’ll just leave it at that.”
UP NEXT
Feathers will climb back behind the wheel of his No.20 super late model this week for two events. Thursday, June 27th he will journey to Georgetown Speedway in Delaware.
Saturday night Feathers will have a much shorter trip to Winchester Speedway, just a few miles from his race shop in Virginia for the event that honors his great uncle, the Jimmy Spence Memorial.
