Putnamville, Ind. – June 26, 2012 – Jason Feger used his high-side style Tuesday night powering to a 40-lap victory worth $5,000 at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind.
Feger, the 2010 DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion from Bloomington, Ill., used his front row starting to spot to get the jump on polesitter Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, Ill., and survived a last-lap charge by Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill., as they raced in heavy traffic to claim his first Hell Tour win of 2012. Shirley climbed from a sixth-place starting position in the feature to claim second. Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin, Ill., started and finished third. Defending Summer Nationals champion Babb made a futile attempt to work the bottom of the race track before moving up to the top groove late in the race to hold on to a fourth-place finish. Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, Ill., rounded out the top five.

The tour returns to action Wednesday night at Belle-Clair Speedway in Belleville, Ill., where Unzicker earned his lone Hell Tour victory in 2011.
