After several years of trying, Jason Feger is now finally a Herald & Review 100 winner.<\/p>\n

The veteran racer from Bloomington, IL, grabbed the lead after a Lap 30 restart and never looked back, leading the rest of the distance for the $5,000 check and his 23rd career DIRTcar Summer Nationals Feature win Thursday night at Macon Speedway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis race, to me, means as much as it always has,\u201d Feger said. \u201cI\u2019ve been coming here for a long time. I think I won a couple of these when I was helping Billy Drake back in the day. I\u2019ve just always wanted to get this one bad for some reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve won races here, just never the Herald & Review. To finally be able to pull it off feels great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through victories at the national tour level, his 2010 Hell Tour<\/em> championship, and his DIRTcar Late Model national points title in 2009, Feger has enjoyed a great deal of success in his career. While the wins and accomplishments have accumulated over the years, one trophy was missing from his cabinet. One to show he had conquered one of Illinois\u2019 most prestigious dirt track racing events.<\/p>\n

Now, he finally has it. But it was no easy road, coming from eighth on the starting grid and having to battle just to stay inside the top-four in the first 30 laps.<\/p>\n

After a restart on Lap 30, it looked as though Feger flipped a switch, making the move on Fast Qualifier Myles Moos for third on Lap 34, passing Jake Little for second on Lap 36, and then Rusty Schlenk for the lead on Lap 39.<\/p>\n

Though the Macon top side was working as it so often does with Super Late Models, Feger decided to go to the bottom for all these passes, and it paid off.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The track] was still pretty fast when we started the Feature, so I was just biding my time and letting them guys go,\u201d Feger said. \u201cThey were going hard, and I was just kinda trying to roll around there in the middle groove, just keep working it and saving my stuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just felt like we kept getting better and better. When it was there, I had to be aggressive, but I was just biding my time and waiting for the opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now armed with the race lead and the competition behind him, Feger set it on cruise control and began clicking-off laps. Several caution flags (and one red) arose from that point forward, testing Feger\u2019s ability to be smart on restarts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get all those yellows, you can always just leave yourself open for a mistake or for somebody to throw a slide job or easing into the corner and somebody runs into the back of you or something,\u201d Feger said. \u201cThem guys kept racing me clean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rusty Griffaw crossed the line second \u2013 his best career finish in the event. Wisconsin\u2019s Jayme Zider completed the podium, while Myles Moos and Jake Little rounded out the top-five.<\/p>\n
