Jason Feger heads for victory at Spoon River Speedway.
What won the race: Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill., led from flag-to-flag at Spoon River Speedway to score a $5,064 victory with the MARS Racing Series. The 40-lap event honored veteran modified racer Gary Cook Jr. of Peoria, Ill., who died in 2013 after battling cancer.
Quotable: “Man, this car’s been really good. We had a few gremlins there at beginning of the year, and got pretty embarrassed here at that (May 11 Castrol FloRacing Night in America) race. We didn’t even make it and we usually run really good here," Feger said. "So I felt like we had something to prove to redeem ourselves tonight. And we always like be able to come here and run really strong.”
Key notes: Feger earned his 12th career MARS Racing Series victory. ... Seventh-starting Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, Ill., finished second, 1.063 seconds behind Feger. ... Reigning series champion Brian Shirley rounded out the podium in third after towing in overnight from the Show-Me 100 at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo. ... Kolby Vandenbergh of Ashland, Ill., who set fast time and finished fifth in the feature, also competed in Saturday's Show-Me 100. .... Mike Spatola, Saturday's MARS winner at Fairbury (Ill.) Speedway, retired while leading the third heat and had to start the feature from the tail; he finished 13th. ... MARS was scheduled to run a tripleheader weekend by Friday’s event at Farmer City, Ill., was rained out. ... The series Spoon River for the fourth time in series history and first time this season. ... Bob Gardner won Sunday's Crate Late Model feature.
