Feger doubles up in MARS Davenport race

admin | September 14, 2025

DAVENPORT, Ia. (September 13, 2025) – Night two of the Corn State Nationals was a real test of man and machine. The MARS Late Model series was the featured class of the evening and their A-Main did not disappoint.

Jason Feger had never won on the Davenport quarter-mile until last night. Now he has two wins. Friday Feger led all forty laps of the feature. On Saturday, not so much. Feger started sixth and fell back as far as eleventh in the early going. Jason slowly worked his way forward, aided by some caution flags. He was third with nine laps to go and led the final four laps for the Corn State Nationals sweep and the $10,000 prize.
Iowa native Chris Simpson drove from ninth to lead laps 34-36. Simpson would finish second. Frank Heckenast Jr. started next to Simpson in row five and rallied late to finish third. Blair Nothdurft led for 29 laps but faded to fourth. Garrett Alberson started on the pole and led the first three laps of the race, before scoring a fifth-place finish. The only other driver to lead a lap was Ryan Unzicker who suffered a flat tire but rebounded to finish tenth.

Late Model heat wins went to Alberson, Nothdurft, Tony Jackson Jr., and Caden McWhorter. Michael Leach and Derrick Stewart won the B-Mains. Alberson set quick time in qualifying with a lap of 13.891 seconds.

Spencer Diercks brought home the win in the Midwest Recyclers / Del’s Metal Co. IMCA Modifieds. Shane Paris started outside of the front row and led the first four laps of the race. A lap five restart allowed Diercks to power by on the outside to take the lead. He led the rest of the way for the win. Paris held on to finish second followed by Jeff Larson and Chris Zogg.

Kevin Goben captured the win in the AVS Hydro Excavating IMCA SportMods. Goben led every lap of the main, but had to survive several suspenseful restarts. Bob Silaggi ran top five the entire race and wound up second. Tyler Maschmann was buried in the pack, but dashed out on the final restart to take third. Levi Laymon and Chris Burke completed the top five.

Two powder puff heats completed the racing program. Stephanie Wolfe captured heat one, while Casey Coon won heat two by inches.

Next up for Davenport Speedway is another double-header weekend. Davenport Dirt Stars will be held Friday, September 26th. The Greg Durbin Memorial will run on Saturday, September 27th.
