    After Back to Back Oakshade Raceway DLM Track Championships, in 05 and 06, confidence was high, and the accolades were many! 2006 would also net the 21 year old "Throttle Stomper" an ALMS Series Championship, an UMP East Region Championship, an UMP State of Ohio Championship, and a Fantastic Third place finish in the UMP DIRTcar National Late Model points standings! He also became the first man in the History of Oakshade Raceway, to win Two Track Championships in the same season, winning both the Late Model and Sportsman divisions!

    In a short, three year span, ( 04, 05, 06 ) the "young and talented" Rusty Schlenk won 26 times, in Four States, and Twice in Canada! That brings his career total to 37 wins! That amount of success lead to the decision to step up the whole Rusty Schlenk Racing program, and commit to running the Northern Allstar Late Model Series, and the grueling UMP Summer Nationals Series, inpersuit of their First UMP National Championship. Early 2007 looked like TEAM RSR was poised to do what they intended to do! Win as often as possible, and be a consistant top 5 finisher, and gain valuable UMP points. During the first quarter of the 07 season, the young" wheelman" was leading in SIX different catagories at the same time! The UMP National Points, NALMS points, ALMS Series, UMP State of Illinois points, Oakshade Raceway Track points,and Butler Motor Speedway Track points, helped further establish him as one of the hottest young drivers in the DLM division! Two wins, a second to Wes Stiedinger at Kankakee, consistant top 5 qualifying efforts, and a string of top 5 finishes made that possible! But luck wouldn't be on their side, as a string of unfortunite racing incidents and mechanical failures, to numorous to list, kept the Hard Charging "Phenom" from competing at an expected high level, and force the team back to their Jackson, Michigan base to regroup! And that's exactly what they did! 2007, while substandard by comparison, still brought Three Feature Wins, including the $5000 to win, "Canadian Late Model Shootout", at South Buxton Raceway, in Merlin, Ontario, Canada, to end the season!. The "Jaskson Asassin" also picked up Two, super tough Sportsman wins, as well as several nice finishes behind the wheel of the Team BDR Rayburn, provided by Swanton, Ohio's talented DLM Up and Comer, Dusty Moore and team owner Roger Markey.

    As the 2008 Season approaches quickly, Rusty Schlenk Racing is busy finishing a pair of 06 CJ Rayburn Race Cars, aquiring current Sponsorships, and persuing a bunch of new potentail partners. In the next several weeks, TEAM RSR will be making several pertinent announcements pertaining to these new ventures, and additional information will be released, as the negotiations are finalized! A small, but greatly appreciated, group of local Businesses and Personal Sponsorships, will once again adorn the sides, and hood, of the potent Rayburn Race Cars! A New Color Scheme will be unveiled, and a few New Surprises will be announced, in the coming weeks! www.rustyschlenk.com will be updated in the next few weeks! A totally redesigned and user friendly format will be displayed, along with the latest news and information regaurding Rusty Schlenk Racing! A Tentative Schedule is still being worked out, but early 08 Objectives are to once again capture The Oakshade Raceway Track Championship, and run a mix of various regional Series races, that best help in gather critical, and valuable UMP National Championship points.

    Jason Feger Hustles Around High Side For First Career World of Outlaws Late Model Ser

    Racerchaser

    BEAVER DAM, WI - May 24, 2009 - Jason Feger lived up to his nickname on Sunday night at Charter Raceway Park.

    Tossing his car around the extreme top of the one-third-mile oval, the ‘Highside Hustler' led the 40-lap Tri-State Late Model Challenge A-Main from flag-to-flag to record his first career victory on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series.

    Feger, 30, of Bloomington, Ill., outgunned polesitter Matt Miller of Waterville, Ohio, for the lead at the initial green flag and never looked back. The personable UMP DIRTcar Racing star turned back some challenges from Miller and survived a lap-34 caution flag to pocket a career-best race payoff of $7,650.

    “I knew the outside would be good, but I didn't know how good and for how long,” said Feger, who started second in his family-owned Bob Pierce Chassis car. “I knew I had to try running it, though, so I just told the guys, ‘We're gonna hang on as long as we can hang on up there.'

    “Luckily it stayed good enough up top for the whole race and the bottom wasn't quite quick enough. It all worked out in our favor.”

    Miller settled for a career-high WoO LMS finish of second in Larry Moring's MasterSbilt machine. He couldn't stay with Feger after the race's lone restart on lap 34, finishing 1.318 seconds behind.

    Brady Smith of Solon Springs, Wis., battled forward from the fifth starting spot to finish third in his Bloomquist Team Zero Chassis, falling short of a victory in front of his homestate fans. Terry Casey of New London, Wis., placed fourth in his Rayburn mount and Rick Eckert of York, Pa., completed the top five in Raye Vest's Bloomquist Team Zero Chassis.

    Feger, whose previous best WoO LMS finish was a fourth on Sept. 13, 2008, at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Mo., was ecstatic when he reached Victory Lane on the speedway's homestretch. He high-fived and hugged his crew, which is led by Feger's brother Austin (the Integra Shocks ‘Wrench of the Race' Award winner), and acknowledged a loud cheer from the crowd.

    “We've been thinking about winning one of these World of Outlaws races for a long time,” said Feger, who entered Sunday's UMP DIRTcar co-sanctioned event ranked second in the organization's national points standings. “We love racing with the World of Outlaws and we've come close a few times, but I didn't know if (a victory) was gonna happen – especially at a track we've never seen.

    “But maybe racing at this place for the first time was to our advantage. We didn't know anything about it, so in this situation all you gotta do is get out there and race. That's what we did – and after we qualified good (recording fast time), that kinda set the tone for the whole night.”

    Feger's triumph – a checkered flag he called “the biggest win of my career” – came after he experienced a dismal outing in Friday night's Tri-State Late Model Challenge opener at U.S. 36 Raceway in Osborn, Mo. He suffered a broken motor at the end of his heat race, forcing him to take the green flag in another car and then drive back to his shop in central Illinois to retrieve his backup car for the remainder of the weekend's action.

    Miller, who made his first WoO LMS start of the 2009 season, never found the opportunity to overtake Feger that he hoped would materialize.

    “After I couldn't slide up and get ahead of (Feger) at the start, I tried to bide my time behind him,” said Miller. “I know that he's pretty aggressive running the top – and if you attack that cushion, you can get in trouble. I wanted to be in position to take advantage of any bobble he might make, but I didn't stay close enough to him. When we got to (lapped) traffic it seemed like he'd clear a car and then I'd get hung up, and that just cost me too much ground.”

    Brady Smith, meanwhile, dearly wanted to win for the dozens of family members and friends he had watching his only WoO LMS appearance of the season in Wisconsin, but the 31-year-old struggled to advance with the outside line the preferred way around the track. He gained control of third place on lap 14, but he found himself nearly a straightaway behind Miller and didn't pull within striking distance of the second-place runner until just before Grand Forks, N.D.'s Dustin Hapka spun in turn two to bring out the lap-34 caution flag.

    “We had a really good car,” said Smith, who registered his second consecutive top-five finish on the WoO LMS. “But it was tough to pass because the top was dominant. We made some moves to go forward, but we couldn't get up there to challenge (Feger) and that was disappointing.”

    Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., finished sixth after running as high as third. Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., moved up three spots to place seventh, followed by 13th-starter Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga., WoO LMS points leader Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., and Vic Coffey of Caledonia, N.Y., who recorded his first top-10 finish of the season.

    Defending tour champion Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., who switched to his backup car after his primary mount developed a minor engine problem during time trials, finished 11th.

    A 32-car field was signed in for the program, which was run under clear and cool conditions. It was the first WoO LMS event at Charter since May 12, 2007.

    Feger registered his first career WoO LMS fast-time award, topping the Ohlins Shocks Time Trials with a lap of 14.535 seconds. He pocketed a $50 bonus for his effort.

    Heat winners were Miller, Brady Smith, Eckert and Fuller. The B-Main was captured by Nick Anvelink of Navarino, Wis.

    The WoO LMS now heads east for a three-race swing that visits Delaware International Speedway in Delmar, Del., on Thurs., May 28; Hagerstown (Md.) Speedway on Sat., May 30; and Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, W.Va., on Sun., May 31.
