Week 3: DIRTcar Summer Nationals/ Summit Modified Nationals

From national and regional touring series events, to the marquee Wayne Coakley Memorial and USA World 50 races, Jason Feger had won nearly every prestigious event held at Paducah International Raceway, except one.

The DIRTcar Summer Nationals main event had, for many years, escaped his grasp. Friday night, he put an end to the curse in dramatic fashion, completing one of the wildest comebacks in Hell Tour history.

Feger, the 2010 Summer Nationals champion from Bloomington, IL, blew a right-rear tire only two laps after taking the green flag and was forced to restart from the tail. With a long line of cars in front of him and 28 laps left on the board, Feger drove all the way back to the head of the field, taking the lead with three laps left and holding off some late challengers en route to his 26th career Summer Nationals victory.
