Luke Stewart Gets Best Finish of the Season With Impressive Sixth Place Finish at Brockville Speedway on Saturday Night

After struggling the first few weeks of the 2013 season, Luke Stewart and his team were back in action this past weekend hoping to get things turned around. The first stop on the weekend schedule was Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York followed by Saturday night’s visit to Brockville Speedway.

At Mohawk, Stewart finished his qualifying heat race from the fifth position, and returned to the pit area to make some adjustments to their Hig-Fab chassis before the 25 lap main event. Luke started from the fourth position and maintained a top ten position through the first half of the race. As the final laps counted down, Stewart struggled and ended up with his second consecutive 11th place finish at Mohawk Raceway.

On Saturday night, Stewart had a strong second place finish in his qualifier and the team was hopeful that they would have a good night. Luke started from the outside of the front row, and blasted off to an early lead. After leading the first half of the race, Stewart fell back just a little as several cautions allowed other cars to remain in striking distance. As the dust settled, Stewart ended the night with a solid sixth place finish.

“The car was really good tonight, the best that we have had all season so far”, claims Stewart after the race. “If really is unfortunate that we had so many cautions there, as it was hard to get away from the field, but overall it was really good night, and hopefully something we can build on for the rest of the season”.

This coming weekend, Luke will be back in action at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and will return to Brockville Speedway on Saturday. We invite everyone to stop by the Finish Line Web Design merchandise trailer located behind the main grandstand at Brockville Speedway to purchase your Luke Stewart t-shirts.

Luke Stewart Looking for Some Good Luck After Early Season Misfortunes at Mohawk Raceway and Brockville Speedway

Although Luke Stewart hasn’t posted the results that they had been hoping for when the 2013 season began just over a month ago, they have continued to work hard dialing in their brand new Hig-Fab chassis, and are confident that success will soon be found as we approach the first week of summer. This past weekend the team traveled to Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and on to Brockville Speedway on Saturday evening.

At Mohawk Raceway on Friday night, Stewart started his heat race from fourth position and ran a great race, finishing in third place. Luke lined up for the 25 lap main event from outside of row two in fourth position but the setup just wasn’t as acceptable to the dry slick conditions as they had hoped, and Stewart dropped outside the top ten. As the race ended, Luke crossed the finish line in 11th place.

On Saturday night, Luke and his team made their way back to Brockville Speedway, and they started the night off well with a win in their qualifying heat race. In the 30 lap feature, he started from outside of the first row, and settled into second place on the original start and held that position through the opening ten laps of the race. Contact from another car on lap 11 affected the handling immensely, and suddenly the strong run they had going was fading. Stewart crossed the finish line with a 14th place finish.

This coming weekend, Luke Stewart will return to Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and back to Brockville Ontario Speedway on Saturday. Stewart currently sits 7th in points at Mohawk Raceway, and at Brockville he is 12th overall.

Luke would like to thank all of his sponsors for their generosity as we enter the 2013 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.
