Joey Ladouceur Looking for Big Results With This Weekend With DIRTcar Sportsman Events at Brighton Speedway and Le RPM Speedway

With other commitments this year, Joey Ladouceur has not run the full DIRTcar Sportsman schedule in 2014, but has followed the tour whenever possible. After a disappointing 17th place finish at MIR this past weekend, Ladouceur now looks ahead to upcoming events this weekend, beginning on Friday night at Brighton Speedway, and on to Le RPM Speedway in St. Marcel, Quebec on Saturday.

Ladouceur will return to Brighton Speedway on Friday night for only the second time in his career. In 2013, while leading the DIRTcar Sportsman standings as a rookie, Joey’s night ended early after a lapped car clipped one of the infield tires, sending it onto the track and into the path of Joey’s car, causing extensive front end damage. While the circumstances are different this year, Ladouceur hopes that this year’s trip to Brighton will be a little more forthcoming.

Saturday night’s destination is Le RPM Speedway, located in St. Marcel, Quebec. This will be Joey’s first time in competition in a Sportsman, as last year’s event was rained out. Joey does have some experience at the track, competing in the Pro Stock division.

After this weekend’s events, Ladouceur will get ready for Super DIRT Week events at Weedsport Speedway and the New York State Fairgrounds. The 2014 season will end at Brockville Speedway on October 18th for the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that help support the team for the 2014 racing season. Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Gauvreau Terre de Surface, Mr. Radiator, Number One Speed Shock Service, Boucherie du Village and Finish Line Web Design are all an integral part of the Ladouceur team and they look forward to sharing their success with all of you in the future.

Billy Dunn Dominates DIRTcar 358 Series Race at Mohawk International Raceway; Top Five Finish in Super DIRTcar Series Race at Mohawk

Over the past three seasons, Billy Dunn has been virtually perfect at Mohawk International Raceway in the 358 Modified division. He has been the track champion in each of those three seasons and has accumulated 15 feature wins over that stretch at MIR alone. He was back at MIR this weekend for the Mohawk Nationals Weekend, and returned to the Laurent Ladouceur owned #23 on Friday night in the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series and was in his own Number One Speed sponsored car on Saturday night for the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series.

On Friday night, Dunn started the night off with a win in the qualifying heat race, earning a spot in the redraw for a top 12 starting position in the 75 lap main event. Dunn would draw position number six and stared the race from outside of the third row. By lap 10, Dunn had worked his way into the top three and with 20 laps on the board he made his move for the lead. Dunn held the top spot at lap 20 as the first and only caution of the race came out. On the restart Dunn continued where he left off and before long he was working through lapped traffic with ease. Dunn had well over a straightway lead over second place as they hit lap 50 and extended that lead over the final 25 laps to score the victory.

"We've just been really good here all year. We've really hit on a package that, when the track gets slick here, our car really comes to life," said Dunn from Victory Lane. "I was a little worried when we started the race, I thought the track wasn't going to come to us, but right around lap 20 it did. I knew if I could at least get to the front, I would have a good shot at winning. It was an awesome race. We didn't really start where we wanted to, but we just picked our way on through and had a really good car that could go wherever we needed it to. Luckily, there weren't a lot of cautions, and we just cruised to the win."

Saturday was a challenging day at MIR as Dunn and his Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series competitors waited out Mother Nature for an opportunity to get the program in. Finally, by 11PM cars were on the track, and DIRTcar Series officials elected to do away with the traditional time trials and heats in favor of a feature lineup based on point standings. Since Dunn had missed a few races in the Series, he would have to start from the 14th position. Dunn exercised patience early in the race, and was sitting inside the top ten at lap 25. Dunn continued to work his way forward and would battle to a top five finish by the time they reached lap 100.

Dunn will be back in action this coming weekend at Fonda Speedway as they host the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series. From there, the team will focus their efforts on returning to Super DIRT Week in hopes of repeating last year’s spectacular performance.

Billy Dunn would like to thank Number One Speed, FastLube of Watertown, Finger Lakes Auto Machine, Glen A. Gould Estate Construction, Frosty’s Ice Cream, and Bicknell Racing Products for their continued support for the 2014 racing season. He would also like to thank Laurent Ladouceur and the Mr. Radiator Race team for the opportunity to race their 358 Modified at Mohawk Raceway on Friday nights again this season.

Ryan Arbuthnot Has Impressive Weekend with 2nd Place Finish at Brockville and Top Five at Mohawk International Raceway

After a busy weekend last week following the DIRTcar 358 Modified tour, Ryan Arbuthnot returned to his weekly tracks this past week looking to continue his successful sophomore season. His weekend schedule consisted of a 50 lap Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” Series race at Mohawk Raceway on Friday night and another 50 lap event at Brockville Speedway on Saturday with round two of the Ogilvie’s Auto Triple Crown Series.

At Mohawk Raceway, a draw coming through the pit gates determined the lineup for the qualifying heat races. Ryan started from the sixth position and advanced two spots to make the redraw for a top 12 starting spot in the main event. After the random draw, Arbuthnot started from the outside of row three in the sixth position and maintained that spot for the first half of the race. By lap 30 Ryan was challenging for a top five position, and that battled continued to the finish, as he crossed the finish line with a solid fifth place result.

The Arbuthnot Racing team returned to Brockville Speedway on Saturday night looking for another strong finish. It was round two of the Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series with a timed hot lap session determining starting positions for the qualifying heat races. Ryan was second fastest in his group, and backed that up with a second place finish in his qualifying heat race. In the 50 lap main event, Arbuthnot started from the sixth position and was up to fourth as they completed lap number 10. By the time they reached the halfway point of the event, Ryan was in third place, and continued in that position until moving to second on the final lap of the caution-free race.

“The car was awesome tonight”, says Arbuthnot. “It was a lot of fun out there tonight. “The only way it could have been better if that last lap pass was for first instead of second, but all in all it was a great night”.

Arbuthnot is currently seventh in both the regular track points at Mohawk Raceway as well as the Frenchie’s Series after round two of three. At Brockville Speedway, Ryan is 3rd overall in track points and is also third in the Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series. On the DIRTcar tour, Ryan is 7th in points. Ryan will return to both Mohawk Raceway and Brockville Speedway this weekend looking to improve on these numbers, and try and get their first win of the 2014 season. Steve Arbuthnot will also be back in action at Brockville in the Vintage Modified.

Arbuthnot Racing would like to thank Bob East (Crew Chief), Tyler Lambert, Krystyn, Dad (Steve), Susie and Grandfather (Ron) for all their hard work and support as well as sponsors Valley Sales and Equipment, Pirie Insulation, 1000 Islands RV, Welch LLP, Finnigan’s Road House, Engine Research, Axcel Sports, Valken Racing, Pay Load, Finish Line Web Design, Number One Speed Shock Service and Bicknell Racing Products.

Joey Ladouceur Wins on Sunday Night at Cornwall Speedway; Mechanical Failure Ends Dominant Performance in ProCam Truck Race at Circuit ICAR

After a rough outing on Wednesday night at Ransomville Speedway for their DIRTcar Sportsman Series race, Joey Ladouceur returned home to prepare for a new challenge. Sunday morning he was on the track at Circuit ICAR making right and left hand turns on a road course for the first time in his career. After ending the day in the ProCam Truck Series at the Mirabel, Quebec track, Joey headed back to familiar territory at Cornwall Speedway for double features with his DIRTcar Sportsman team.

It was Ladouceur’s first time ever on a road course, but you wouldn’t know it by watching him handle the tricky ICAR track. Joey set the fastest lap of the day in qualifying and redrew 7th for the main event. By the time the race reached the halfway distance, Joey was already in the lead, and looked poised for victory. As the laps counted down and Ladouceur pulling away from the field, 3rd gear in the transmission had went away, and he soon dropped to second. With just three laps remaining the motor let go and Joey’s day ended with disappointment after such a strong start.

“We were doing great until we lost third gear. We are shifting here 3 times a lap, and not having that gear really hurt us, by I was trying to salvage a good finish but the motor let go on us just before the finish”, says Ladouceur.

After the race ended at Circuit ICAR, Ladouceur was on the road and heading to Cornwall Speedway for double features. The first feature was a makeup race from June 22nd and Ladouceur battled to an 8th place finish. It was a tough start to the night, but Ladouceur and the team were optimistic that it would get better as the night progressed. After winning his qualifying heat race for the scheduled program, Ladouceur was looking for a strong finish in the second feature of the night. As the race hit the halfway point, Joey was up to second, and a took the lead after a restart just a couple laps later.

“After the engine troubles and disappointment earlier today at ICAR, you cant imagine how good this win feels tonight”, says Ladouceur. “I have to thank the crew for all their hard work, and my family for their support”.

There is no doubt that winning races is a tradition for the Ladouceur family. Just within the last week, Joey’s young son Tristan was a winner in the karts at Cornwall, Joey won his race tonight, as did Joey’s dad Laurent Ladouceur, picking up the win in the postponed 40 lap Modified feature earlier in the night, and Joey’s brother Lee Ladouceur also has a recent win this season in a Sprint Car.

Ladouceur will return to action this coming weekend with a pair of Seaway Sportsman Series events. Friday night he will be at Autodrome Granby, then on to Autodrome Drummond on Saturday night before ending the weekend with a regular night at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that help support the team for the 2014 racing season. Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Gauvreau Terre de Surface, Mr. Radiator, Number One Speed Shock Service, Boucherie du Village and Finish Line Web Design are all an integral part of the Ladouceur team and they look forward to sharing their success with all of you in the future.

Danny O’Brien Dominates 50 Lap Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series Race at Brockville Speedway; 6th Place Result at Mohawk Raceway

As the 2014 season rolls into the month of July, Danny O’Brien and his team find themselves in the hunt for track titles and series championships. It was a big weekend this past weekend with 50 lap events at both tracks on the schedule.

Mohawk International Raceway was up first on Friday night. Starting positions for the qualifier was determined by a draw as they entered the track for the evening, and by luck of the draw, O’Brien would start from the front of the field. He cruised to victory, earning a top 12 starting spot for the 50 lap Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” Series. Danny selected number seven, and would start from the inside of row four. It was a tough battle for the opening 30 laps before he started to finally gain some ground after lap 30, making his way inside the top five. Over the final few laps, O’Brien lost one position to finish in sixth.

The next stop on the weekend schedule was Brockville Speedway as they hosted a 50 lap Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series race. As a 10 time track champion at the BOS and defending Ogilvie’s Series champion, all eyes were on O’Brien throughout the night. A timed hot lap session determined the starting order for the qualifying heat races, and Danny was fastest in his group. He started his heat from the front row and drove to victory. As a result of winning the third heat race, Danny started the 50 lap main event from the third position. He quickly moved to second and began to chase down the race leader. As the lead pack hit lapped traffic, O’Brien started to get closer and closer, and used the heavy traffic to his advantage to gain the top spot on lap 22. O’Brien diced his way through lapped traffic at a torrid pace during the second half of the race, lapping up to the sixth place car before the checkered flag on a rare caution free 50 lap feature.

“This was a great race tonight”, says O’Brien from victory lane. “I really have to thank all of our sponsors and this great team that has worked hard all week on this car, and throughout the season”.

The O’Brien team will return to Mohawk Raceway this coming Friday night as they look to gain a few points in the chase for the track title. Danny is currently seven points back of first place at MIR, and leads the Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” series by just two points. Danny will also race at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night looking to increase his 20 point lead in the battle for an unprecedented 11th BOS track championship. Danny is also tied for first in the battle for the Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series championshop.

Danny O’Brien would like to thank 1000 Islands RV Centre, Pat’s Auto Centre, BOB FM, Ponte Bros. Masonry, Morrison Racing Engines, Snap-On Adam Way, Bicknell Racing Products, ATC World Class Trailers and Integra Racing Shocks for their continuous support throughout the 2014 season.

Billy Dunn Wins 50 Lap Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” Series Race at Mohawk International Raceway; Strong Third Place Finish at Canandaigua

The 2014 racing season schedule continues to intensify as we roll into a busy month of July for Billy Dunn and his Number One Speed race team. They started last Thursday with a Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series event at Rolling Wheels Raceway Park in Elbridge, New York, followed by the usual weekend stops at Mohawk International Raceway in the Laurent Ladouceur owned ride, and Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday in his won Big Block car. The busy schedule continued on Tuesday night with a visit to Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, New York for another Big Block Super DIRTcar Series race.

Rolling Wheels Raceway Park took on a heavy dose of rain leading up to their Thursday night event, and that played havoc all night long as they tried to get their Super DIRTcar Series race in the books. They succeeding in getting the show in, but the rain led to rough track conditions and many teams, including Dunn were forced out of the race early.

Friday night at Mohawk International Raceway was a much better night for Dunn. It was round two of the Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” Modified series. Billy started his qualifying heat from seventh and charged forward very quickly to finish second, making the redraw for a top 12 starting spot in the main event. Dunn would randomly select position number five, and would start the race from inside of row three. Dunn moved forward instantly, and after just three laps he was in the lead and had opened up a commanding lead before the first caution on lap 12. Dunn cruised to his second straight Mohawk Raceway victory.

Dunn’s weekend schedule continued on Saturday night at Canandaigua Motorsports Park and it was a thriller. After winning his qualifying heat race, Dunn started the 35 lap main event from the 15th starting position and was inside the top five as they completed lap 13. Just a few laps later Dunn found his way to second and the battle for the lead was on as the diced through lapped traffic. With the checkered flag in the air, Dunn crossed the finish line with a solid third place result.

The Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series resumed on Tuesday night at Albany-Saratoga Speedway for the Brett Hearn promoted Big Show 6.

Joey Ladouceur Gets Second Place Finish in ProCam Truck Series Race at Autodrome Montmagny; Second at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday Night

Canada Day weekend always means a busy weekend at the track, and this one was no exception for Joey Ladouceur. He started the weekend on Saturday at Autodrome Montmagny in the ProCam Truck Series, and moved back to the dirt track at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night.

Ladouceur returned to Autodrome Montmagny on Saturday with a win just 3 weeks earlier at the same venue fresh in his mind. After starting sixth in his qualifying heat race, Joey advanced two positions over the 8 lap event, crossing the finish line in fourth place. The team made some adjustments to the truck and they returned later for the 50 lap main event starting from sixth place. By lap 10, Joey had worked his way to fourth place and remained there through halfway. By lap 30, Joey had patiently moved up to third place, and remained there until a lap 43 caution. The next several laps produced a great battle to the finish amongst the top three. Ladouceur moved to second not long after the restart and had challenged for the lead. He crossed the finish line in second place.

“It was a great race at the end amongst the top three”, explains Ladouceur. “We are having a lot of fun here in the ProCam Truck Series”.

On Sunday night, Ladouceur was back in his Sportsman at Cornwall Speedway. The night started off with Ladouceur and several other drivers taking part in a solemn tribute to a fallen racer and a friend as the Speedway hosted a ceremony to honor Danny Lefebvre after his fatal accident at the track a week earlier. Joey started fifth in his qualifying heat race and quickly moved up to finish in second place. In the 20 lap main event, Joey started from the 10th position and patiently bided his time over the opening laps. The first caution was out on lap seven and Joey was still in ninth place. Joey was able to move forward after the restart and was up to fourth place when the caution was displayed again on lap 16. The battle was on over the final four circuits around the fast ¼ mile, and Ladouceur was soon challenging for the lead. He crossed the finish line in second place.

On Tuesday night, the youngest of the three generations in the Ladouceur racing family, Tristan Ladouceur won his first main event of the 2014 season at Cornwall Dirt Raceway Park.

Joey will have a busy week once again, beginning Wednesday night at Ransomville Speedway for a DIRTcar Sportsman Series race. Ladouceur is the defending champion of the event at Ransomville and will be looking to repeat. On Sunday morning, Ladouceur will face a new challenge as he will battle in the ProCam Truck Series on the road course at Circuit ICAR in Quebec before heading back as soon as the race is over to compete at Cornwall Speedway for double features in the Sportsman division.

Joey Ladouceur would like to thank all of the sponsors that help support the team for the 2014 racing season. Coffrage 20-20/Pompage 20-20, Fence Depot, Minimax Express, Glengarry Truck Centre, Gauvreau Terre de Surface, Mr. Radiator, Number One Speed Shock Service, Boucherie du Village and Finish Line Web Design are all an integral part of the Ladouceur team and they look forward to sharing their success with all of you in the future.

Tim Currier Earns First Career Fulton Speedway Victory on Saturday Night

After a tough weekend last weekend, battling the rain at I-88 Speedway and a disappointing night at Fulton, Tim Currier and his Currier Racing team were looking forward getting back to business this past weekend, with I-88 Speedway and Fulton Speedway on the team’s schedule once again, as well as a rare Tuesday night event at I-88 as part of the RoC Series.

Friday night didn’t quite go as planned for Currier, as they struggled for much of the night. After salvaging a 13th place finish, the team was ready to move their attention to the next race on the schedule.

Tim Currier decided just before the 2014 season started to call Fulton Speedway their home track on Saturday nights this season. They have had several strong finishes so far, and were looking to continue that going into the night. The opening practice session was a great indication that it was going to be a great night, as Currier was the fastest car on the track. After finishing third in his qualifying heat, the Currier team went to work on getting the car dialed in for the 35 lap main event. They started the race from the front row, and Currier jumped out to the early race lead. For the first 21 laps of the race, Currier was under pressure, but a mechanical failure to the second place car left Currier alone up front for the final 15 laps allowing him to open up a full straightaway lead and a convincing victory at Fulton Speedway. As the car came to a stop in victory lane, steam was rolling for the overheated engine.

“I was hoping we weren’t going to go too many more laps as you can see the steam coming out. The engine was starting to get a little warm from being hooked up so much”, says Currier from victory lane. “It was tough. The top had a lot of bite to it making the car tight at times. The crew has been fighting all summer long to get this back in shape, this thing was fast”.

Currier planned to be back at I-88 Speedway on Tuesday night for an RoC event, but rain forced track officials to cancel the program. They will now race on Thursday night at Rolling Wheels Raceway for their opening night of 2014.

This coming weekend, Currier will be back to I-88 Speedway on Friday night, and Fulton Speedway on Saturday.

Tim Currier would like to thank all of their sponsors and partners for their support throughout the 2014 season. Perfect Sit, Currier Plastics, Currier Construction, NorthStar Business Center and J. LaFluer Logging & Forestry Products LLC are all an integral part of our race team.

Billy Dunn Grabs Top Five Finish on Saturday Night at Canandaigua Motorsports Park; Mohawk Raceway Continues to Battle Mother Nature

Last weekend was a disappointing weekend for Billy Dunn and his Number One Speed team and they were back this week ready to put that behind them. Mohawk Raceway was the destination of Friday night driving the Laurent Ladouceur owned 358 Modified, while Saturday night at Canandaigua he was back in the familiar Number One Speed #49.

Like most Friday night’s this year, rain was an issue. It didn’t take track officials long to cancel the program once again with a continuous steady rain falling overnight and through the morning. They will try again this coming Friday night, and will also look at an added mid-week event next month to help make up for some of the rainouts this season.

Canandaigua was up next on Saturday night and Dunn started the 35 lap main event from the 16th starting position. In typical Dunn fashion he moved towards the front of the pack patiently and by the end of the race he was in a top five position. Dunn crossed the finish line with a strong fifth place result.

“The car wasn’t bad, and we were able to move up from deep in the field, but we just weren’t quite strong enough tonight to challenge for the win”, says Dunn after the race. “We will work at it, and hopefully we can be even better next week”.

Dunn will be back in action on Tuesday night as the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series rolls into New Egypt Speedway in New Jersey. He will be at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night and back to Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday.

Billy Dunn would like to thank Number One Speed, FastLube of Watertown, Finger Lakes Auto Machine, Glen A. Gould Estate Construction, Frosty’s Ice Cream, and Bicknell Racing Products for their continued support for the 2014 racing season. He would also like to thank Laurent Ladouceur and the Mr. Radiator Race team for the opportunity to race their 358 Modified at Mohawk Raceway on Friday nights again this season.

Danny O’Brien Battles Back From Early Race Incident to Score Top Five Finish at Brockville Speedway on Saturday Night

The 2014 racing season got off to a fantastic start for Danny O’Brien and his race team through the first month of the season. He had already accumulated three feature wins and had top ten results in 6 of the 7 events he had entered. O’Brien was looking to continue that success into June with a regular program at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night.

In the qualifying heat race at Brockville, O’Brien was on a mission, starting from the rear of the field and storming through the field to pick up the win. After making some minor adjustments on the car to keep up with the changing track conditions, O’Brien hit the track for the 30 lap main event. He rolled off the starting grid from the 12th position, and was making some progress through the first couple laps. On lap three, Danny was caught up in an incident in turn one and two, and after a quick pit stop, he returned for the restart at the rear of the field. With just six laps complete, Danny once again moved his way forward and was inside the top ten. As the race approached the halfway point, O’Brien had climbed to fifth place, and would settle into that position for the remainder of the event.

“We had a strong car, but we lost all our track position after that early wreck and had to come from the back”, says O’Brien. “We were still able to salvage a top five finish, and we will be back next week looking to return to the winner’s circle.

This coming weekend, Danny will return to Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night after a rare weekend off last week for the Modified division.

Ryan Arbuthnot Gets Second Place Finish at Brockville Speedway on Saturday Night; Steve Arbuthnot Wins at the BOS in Vintage Modified

This past weekend provided a bit of a twist from the regular weekly routine as both Ryan and Steve Arbuthnot completed a busy weekend schedule. First up was Brewerton Speedway just north of Syracuse, New York as Ryan and Steve made the 4.5 hour trip from their Renfrew, Ontario home. Ryan was looking to get some seat time in his new Big Block ride, while Steve was competing with the Midstate Vintage Stock Car Club for the first time this season. Ryan was also back in action at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night with his regular 358 Modified program.

Brewerton Speedway is a Big Block Modified track with some of the best drivers in the Northeast competing weekly. Ryan was well aware that he would be starting at the rear of the field against some extremely tough competitors and the overall finish was really irrelevant as it was more about the experience and getting some more time behind the wheel of his own Big Block. In his eight-lap qualifier, Ryan started from the tail of the field and worked his way up to fifth place. The 35 lap main event was up next, and Ryan posted a 17th place result.

“It was a great experience for us”, says Arbuthnot. “The car ran really good, and we battled side by side with some of the best in the business. This was only our second time out in the Big Block, so we are happy with that”.

Steve Arbuthnot also had a great showing, besting the short field of Vintage Modifieds to take home the feature win.

On Saturday night, Ryan Arbuthnot was back to Brockville Speedway with his 358 Modified. He started the night out with a third place finish in his qualifying heat race and returned to the track for the 30 lap main event starting from the fifth position. The first caution came on lap three and Arbuthnot was already up to the second spot, and he took over the race lead before 10 laps had been completed. After holding the top spot for a handful of laps, Arbuthnot fell to second, and maintained that position through the end of the race.

Arbuthnot Racing would like to thank Bob East (Crew Chief), Tyler Lambert, Krystyn, Dad (Steve), Susie and Grandfather (Ron) for all their hard work and support as well as sponsors Valley Sales and Equipment, Pirie Insulation, 1000 Islands RV, Welch LLP, Finnigan’s Road House, Engine Research, Axcel Sports, Valken Racing, Pay Load, Finish Line Web Design, Number One Speed Shock Service and Bicknell Racing Products. The team would also like to welcome Tony Corcoran Speed and Performance as a sponsor for the 2014 season.

Luke Stewart Scores Career Best Finish With Second Place Result at Brockville Ontario Speedway

Coming off back to back top ten performances at Brockville Speedway, Luke Stewart was confident that they could keep the momentum going as they returned to the BOS this past weekend.

Luke started the night off strong with an impressive win in his qualifying heat race. In the 30 lap main event, he started from the front row and took the lead early, holding the top spot for the opening 20 laps of the race before getting passed by a 10 time Brockville Speedway champion. Luke finished in second place, scoring his best career finish to date.

“We are real happy with that run tonight”, says Stewart after the race. “This Hig-Fab car continues to get better each and every week, and we are excited about that. A win would have been nice, but to finish second to Danny (O’Brien) is something that we all can be proud of, and hopefully we can build on this throughout the season”.

This coming weekend, Stewart will be back in action at Brockville Speedway on Saturday night. After four events, Stewart is currently in the top 10 in points, and with very few point separating him from a coveted top five position.

Luke would like to thank all of his sponsors for their generosity and support during the 2014 racing season. They include Fort Glass, M.A. Barr Service Station Maintenance, RW Electric, McCoy Bus Tours, Penny Blake of Remax Realty Kingston, Southeastern Telecommunication Services, Number One Speed Equipment, Stewart Speed Supplies and Finish Line Web Design. Also a very special thanks goes out to Wayne and Donna Smith for all of their support. We thank you all for your support and look forward to the 2014 season.
