What won the race: Overtaking polesitter Daniel Adam on the seventh lap, third-starting Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill., raced to his 39th career MARS Late Model Championship Series victory in Friday's Jr. Kimler Memorial at Farmer City Raceway. Feger, the reigning tour champion, held off current points leader Ryan Unzicker by 3.177 seconds for the $5,000 triumph.

Quotable: "It feels good to get a win. We've got a long way to go to catch Ryan (Unzicker) in series points, and he's going to need some bad luck," Feger said, "but our goal is just to win every race and it is what it is."

Key notes: Feger captured his fifth Jr. Kimler Memorial and fifth career MARS Series victory at Farmer City. ... It was his 12th career Farmer City special dating back to 2009, earning more than $73,000 over that span. ... Series rookie Dylan Thornton briefly edged ahead of Ryan Unzicker following a lap-24 restart before settling for third. ... Daniel Adam led the opening six laps from the pole before slipping to finish 10th. ... Bob Gardner rallied from the tail to finish eighth after pitting under the race's lone caution on lap 24 to replace both rear tires. ... Tanner English abandoned his MARS plans, a no-show in giving up the fourth spot in series points. ... Two drivers were in different cars since the tour's last event May 30: Myles Moos of Lincoln, Ill., was back in his own No. 84 entry after splitting with Brent McKinnon Raceway and Caden McWhorter was in his family-owned No. 14 after departing the Curless Motorsports team. ... The 40-lapper lasted 14 minutes with 13 starters completing the distance and 17 running at the finish. ... Farmer City is slated to host the MARS tour again on Sept. 4 for another $5,000-to-win program.
