Just a
few weeks ago, Luke Stewart made a decision to leave their traditionally
Saturday night home at Brockville Speedway in favor of Chapman’s Can Am
Motorsports Park in Lafargeville, New York.
It was a tough decision, but when it came down to it, Luke felt like he
would be better off at Can Am, racing on a bigger track. Since making the move, Stewart has posted
four top ten finishes in five races, and posted his best career finish this
past Saturday night.
Stewart
was fast right from the beginning of the night, posting a top five speed in the
opening practice session. He finished a
strong third in his qualifying heat race, and started the 25 lap feature from
the front row. When the race started,
Luke jumped out to the lead early, and held the top spot for the first eight
laps. Stewart would fall to second, and
then to third just before halfway, but still battled for a third place finish.
“It was
a great run for us tonight. We were
able to lead a few laps, and run pretty steady all night”, say Stewart after
the race. “We still have some work to
do to stay with the top cars, but we are getting there”.
Stewart
will be back at Can Am Motorsports Park this coming Saturday night. He has just a couple events left at Can Am
for the 2012 season.
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.
