Luke Stewart Finds Instant Success After Changing Saturday Night Venues; Scores Back to Back Top Ten Finishes After Switch to Can Am

After starting the 2012 season at Brockville Speedway, Luke Stewart and his team decided they needed a change of scenery.  The switched their Saturday night program to Can Am Motorsports Park in Lafargeville, New York and have scored top ten finishes in both weeks since making the change.

Last Saturday night, Luke finished with a respectable 9^th place finish, and returned this week, looking to improve on that.  Luke ended the night with a solid performance, crossing the finish line in seventh place.

“I always have enjoyed racing at Can Am.  It is a big track, and there is lots of room here”, says Stewart after the race.  “We were getting a little discouraged earlier in the year, and we felt like we had to make a change, and we decided to come here for the rest of the season”.

In addition to Can Am, Stewart will also run Mohawk International Raceway on occasion throughout the remaining events at the track in 2012.  Stewart is still a rookie to 358 Modified racing, is having a solid year, with five top ten finishes in just 13 events this season.  Over the remaining few weeks of the season, Stewart hopes to make it inside the top five at Can Am, and build finish the year out strong.

Luke would like to thank all of his sponsors going into the 2012 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.

Luke Stewart Gets Top Ten Finish at Brockville on Saturday Night; Makes 2012 Debut at Mohawk International Raceway

After racing all season at Brockville Speedway, Luke Stewart added a race to their schedule this weekend, traveling to Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York on Friday night.  Stewart was back in action on Saturday for a regular night of racing at Brockville.

For the first time this season, Stewart raced at Mohawk Raceway.  After starting last in his qualifying heat, Stewart advanced to sixth place.  After making some adjustments on the car, Stewart would start the 25 lap main event from 16^th place.  With the most important goal of the night being to finish, and gaining valuable experience, Stewart achieved that with a solid 16^th place run in a very tough field of cars.

“It would have been nice to finish a little higher, but we are still learning”, says Stewart.  “I have only raced here a couple times with the Sportsman car, so it is definitely different then what I am used to”.

At Brockville on Saturday night, Stewart finished fourth in his qualifying heat race, and lined up for the 30 lap feature in sixth place.  Stewart fell back to 14^th early in the race, but battled back to score a tenth place finish.

“We struggled early with this dry slick track, but the second half was much better”, admits Stewart.  “We will keep working away at it, and hopefully we can get this car dialed in for the second half of the season”.

This coming Saturday night, Stewart will return to Brockville Speedway once again.  He is currently the top rookie in the Small Block division, with three top ten finishes, and sits 14^th overall in track points.

Luke would like to thank all of his sponsors going into the 2012 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.
