WILMOT, WI (June 15, 2026) — Twice has Jason Feger come to race at Wilmot Raceway and finished one spot short. But on Monday night, he was not going to be denied a third time.
Feger, the two-time DIRTcar Summer Nationals champion from Bloomington, IL, finished runner-up in the Hell Tour’s last two races at the Wisconsin oval in 2016 and 2025. This time around, he was on top for all 30 laps of the main event, leading flag-to-flag for his second Feature win in four nights and 37th of his Summer Nationals career.
The first race of Week 2 of the Hell Tour’s 40th anniversary season kicked off with Feger in the lead on Lap 1 and Frank Heckenast Jr. and Tanner English behind him.
The top three broke away from the field and quickly entered lapped traffic. Feger worked the low side of the speedway and slid up at the exit of each corner, allowing himself to maintain a comfortable lead.
“I caught a couple of them there, two at a time, so it’s not like I could slide up because there’s not a whole lot to slide into,” Feger said. “It definitely was nerve wracking. I feel like towards the end there the bottom was starting to come in a little bit or just clean off and you could keep speed.”
Behind him, English was charging as he passed Heckenast for the second position. Try as he may, however, English was unable to get close enough to make a bid for the lead as Feger drove away from the field and on to a big win to start Week 2 off strong.
“If you look at what we did last week, we’re going to have to try and keep doing that,” Feger said. “It takes a lot of luck for sure to run podium every night. But you’ve got to be really good. I feel like we haven’t raced a lot this summer, so we’re definitely not up to speed like we normally are. We have a new shock package and stuff this year, so it’s been a big learning group and we’re starting to find our footing a little bit better.”
English continued his consistent runs with a second-place efforts, Heckenast Jr. in third, Cade Dillard finished fourth, and Mitch McGrath was fifth.
