Hello,

Unfortunately there is no way to do this by default.
It should be done manually.

Can you point me in the right direction? Which file is the code located in I'd need to change?

Hacking the core is not recommended and it can lead to unexpected issues.

You could set a cron job, running every couple of hours and altering the featured flag when the publishing date has ended.

You are looking into custom plugin which looks for the publish_down value and if it is expired it resets and sets the featured flag.
