Oxford, Michigan (Wednesday, June 5, 2013): Kevin Feeney and Kyle Feeney had planned on racing at the fast 3/8s (0.375) mile high-banked paved oval of Kalamazoo Speedway in Kalamazoo, Michigan to compete with the Auto Value Super Sprints Series on June 1st. Unfortunately, Mother Nature would sweep the entire program forcing Series and Track Officials to postpone the event to a later date To Be Announced.
The last time the Father / Son duo racing for Feeney Motorsports / Marv Carman Motorsports raced together was on May 17th at Dixie Motor Speedway in Birch Run, Michigan and May 18th at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan. At Dixie, Kevin finished ahead of his 19-year-old son Kyle collecting a fourth place finish as Kyle finished 11th at Dixie while at Berlin, Kevin again finished fourth with Kyle advancing a couple of positions as he scored an eighth place showing.
Now both Feeney’s will reshift focus and take off the Wings to race at the tight 1/4 (0.250) mile slightly banked paved oval of Spartan Speedway in Mason, Michigan in the tracks bi-weekly Non-Winged Sprints division on Friday, June 7th before strapping the Wings back on the next night on Saturday, June 8th as they’ll compete with the Hoosier Outlaw Sprints Series (H.O.S.S.) at the 3/8s (0.375) mile semi-banked paved oval of M-40 Speedway, located west of Kalamazoo in Jones, Michigan.
“This will be my first time competing at Spartan without a wing and Saturday will be Kyle’s first time racing at M-40, he hasn’t even been there to watch before.” Laughed the 44-year-old patriarch of Feeney Motorsports. “This weekend should be a lot of fun though, no points to worry about and we’re just going to have some fun and maybe even come out with a win or two. At Spartan I will be in the #98 and Kyle in the #8 car and Saturday I will be in the #61 and Kyle in the #16.” He ended.
In his son, Kyle Feeney’s last race, the 65th annual Pay Less Little 500 at Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana on Sunday, May 26th after Mother Nature forced Track Officials to postpone the prestigious event by one day. Feeney would start 32nd in the race on Saturday, May 25th and after a rain delay which moved the conclusion of the race to Sunday, May 26th combined with a very rough event, would come away with a 23rd place showing.
