After
making the transition to the 358 Modified division late in the 2011 season,
Luke Stewart was ready for his first full campaign in the competitive class in
2012. He started the season running
weekly at Brockville Speedway with mixed results, before changing their
Saturday night home halfway through the season to Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports
Park in Lafargeville, New York.
After
opening the season at Brockville with top ten finishes in two of the first
three events, Stewart struggled over the next couple months to find some
consistency. Their problems continued
through early July after a series of crashes and disappointing finishes that
were a result of being at the wrong place at the wrong time and frustrations
were beginning to mount. The team made
the decision to switch tracks in mid season, which proved to be a great move
for Stewart. He posted top ten finishes
in five of the seven events that he entered, including an incredible third
place finish in a race where he held the lead for several laps on August 18th.
“We had
a good season for being our first full year in the 358 Modified division”, says
Stewart. “We will be working hard over
the winter to improve our program and hopefully that will pay off when the
season starts next year”.
The team
has some big plans for next season, hoping to race two nights a week, and follow
the Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified Series if they can secure enough sponsorship to do
so. What tracks they will end up racing
at has yet to be decided. If you would
