Feathers Building Confidence From Gains at Port Royal

Starting the 25-lap feature event from outside row four, Feathers had his sights set on earning a top five finish, but he found himself in a defensive mode during the opening laps rather than in attack mode.

By lap four Feathers had dropped to 11th.  He continued to struggle and lost another spot a few laps later.  

Finally, around the halfway mark of the race, his car started to come alive.  He turned his fastest lap of the race and began to reel the top ten back in.  As good as the car was at that point, it was too much ground to make up in the caution-free race.

Feathers ended the night with a 12th place finish in the Hot Rod Septic Treatment, Larry Royston’s Septic Services, Martins Pumping Service, McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, North River Farm, Clem’s Garage, Leggett Engine Research, Feathers & Sons Roofing, Coffelt Graphics, Larry Royston Properties, Larry Royston Equipment, Bilstein Shocks, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, Bo Feathers Racing, Barry Wright Race Cars, No.20.

“Well, we finished the race and we didn’t get lapped.  The way things have been going, that was the first goal.  I may have set the bar a little low for myself but at least we did that.”, Feathers chuckled.

“Even though that wasn’t our best finish of the year here, that was the best I felt so far.  We are finding some balance in the car that I think we can build on.  It’s not really a secret that we stayed on the old tires mostly so far this year.  We did that so we had one less variable to deal with while we were dialing this thing in.”
