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.
