Jason Feger went flag-to-flag in the 29th annual DIRTcar Fall Nationals.
What won the race: Repelling a late-race charge from Ryan Unzicker, second-starting Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill., earned a flag-to-flag victory in Saturday's 25-lap 29th annual DIRTcar Fall Nationals finale at Lincoln Speedway. Feger beat the fast-closing Unzicker to the line by 0.485 of a second for the $3,000 victory, his 15th overall win of the season.
Key notes: Feger notched his second win of the season at Lincoln after topping June's $7,500 DIRTcar Summer Nationals stop, his third straight Hell Tour victory there. ... Fourth-starting Ryan Unzicker, winner of Friday's $2,000 opener, settled for runner-up honors after slipping by Jose Parga on a lap-seven restart. ... The pole-starting Parga, of New Berlin, Ill., faded to sixth aboard his 604 Crate-powered DIRTcar Pro Late Model. ... Frank Heckenast Jr. started eighth and finished fourth. ... Jake Little rebounded to ninth after spinning on lap seven to draw the race's first caution. ... Timmy Dick and Jeffrey Ledford tangled on the ensuing restart attempt, with resulting damage causing a brief fire on Ledford's car, ending his night. ... Dick continued until spinning to trigger the third slowdown on lap 13 before pulling off. ... Myles Moos left the racing surface on a lap-13 restart attempt and was forced to tag the field before tangling with Brayton Wallace during the fifth and final yellow flag on lap 14. Wallace continued a few more laps before retiring, while Moos placed 16th. ... The feature lasted 22 minutes, with 17 starters completing the distance and 19 running at the checkers.
On the move: Blaze Burwell of Mount Vernon, Ill., started 16th and finished eighth.
