Feger Wins DIRTcar Summer Nationals Thriller at Spoon River Speedway
By Jordan Morris

CANTON, Ill. - June 18, 2014 - Jason Feger, the 2010 DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion, finally found his way back to a Summer Nationals victory lane Wednesday night, doing so in exciting fashion as he held off Ryan Unzicker to claim the $5,000 checkered flag at Spoon River Speedway.

Unzicker started the pole position and looked to be the car to beat early in the 50-lap feature. Unzicker dueled with Feger, who started on the outside of row one, for much of the early laps. Feger, who's also known as The Highside Hustler, used the bottom of the race track to slide in front of Unzicker for the lead on lap 27.

Unzicker temporarily slipped back to third as the tour's most recent winner Shannon Babb joined the fight for the lead. Babb mounted several charges at Feger, but was not be able to pass him as he and Unzicker continued to take shots at the leader, sometimes even going three wide.

Feger held off all challenges and led the final 23 laps. Feger's victory at Spoon River Speedway becomes the 10th of DIRTcar Summer Nationals career and his first since July 3, 2012.

"It feels good to kind of get that monkey off our back," said Feger, of Bloomington, Ill. "We've had some motor issues - just self-inflicted - and other stuff happen, so we needed some money to give to our engine builder and get the tire guy paid off. This definitely helps things a lot."

(Click here for news and information on the DIRTcar Summer Nationals.)

Unzicker, Brady Smith, Babb and Randy Korte rounded out the top five.

Heat race winners included Feger, Billy Moyer Jr., Randy Korte and Unzicker.

The DIRTcar Summer Nationals continues on Thursday night at Quincy Raceways in Quincy, Ill.

Poel Goes Back-to-Back in DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals with Victory at Spoon River Speedway

By Jordan Morris

CANTON, Ill. - June 18, 2014 - Jacob Poel becomes the first multi-race winner of the 2014 DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals, claiming the $1,000 checkered flag on Wednesday night at Spoon River Speedway.

Poel, of Spring Lake, Michigan, didn't have the fastest car to start the 25-lap feature race. He chased current points leader Matt Goulden, who managed to grab the lead on the start of the race and led the opening 11 laps. Poel managed to overtake Goulden on lap 12 and brought Jeff Curl with him, as Goulden slipped back through the field.

Poel dominated the second half of the A-main, leading the race's final 14 laps, and building a lead of over 2.60 seconds. Poel claimed his second checkered of the season, less than a week after grabbing his first victory of the season at Kankakee County Speedway.

(Click here for news and information on the Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals.)
Goulden, Kelly Kouski and Jeff Leka rounded out the top five.

Heat race winners included Poel, Ray Bollinger and Goulden.

The DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals continues on Thursday night at Quincy Raceways in Quincy, Ill.
