Trever Feathers Heating Up: Potomac Podium Is Fourth Top Five in Last Five Races

Feathers kicked off the Sunday night show with the 5th fastest qualifying lap overall in his red Team Zero Race Cars, Fox Racing Shox, Leggett Engine Research, North River Farm, McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, George’s Used Cars, Martin’s Pumping, Feathers & Son’s Roofing, Coffelt Graphics, Shane McDowell Racing No.27.

The Winchester, VA super late model veteran made some adjustments before his heat race and went on to claim a 3rd place finish in that race.  Feathers noted the car was better but not yet where it needed to be.

Feathers started 5th in the 30-lap Huey Wilcoxen Memorial main event.  Through the first nine laps, he rode in that position before taking advantage of a restart to blast into the 3rd spot.

Over the remaining nineteen laps Feathers chased leader Trevor Collins and 2nd place Dale Hollidge, pulling within striking distance more than once.  He wasn’t able to advance and settled for the 3rd place finish.

“We were there but we just weren’t quite fast enough to contend.  That’s been the story of our year.  When you run as many top-fives as we have we should have more wins than we do, but we just haven’t had that little extra to get us there.”, Feathers commented.

Feathers has accumulated eleven top-five finishes in twenty-one races but has only reached victory lane once.

“I got to them a couple times but my car wasn’t stable enough to make a move.  It’s our first time here (Potomac) with the 27 car.”, Feathers continued.  “We tried some things for qualifying but had to go back to what we knew worked.  We have always brought our other car so our notes are from those nights and this car just doesn’t adjust quite the same as the other one.”
