Luke Stewart Scores Top Ten Finish at Brockville Speedway on Saturday Night; Currently Top Ten in Points at Both MIR and BOS

It has been a bit of a tumultuous season for Luke Stewart and his 358 Modified race team. They have had some strong finishes, but have struggled at times trying to dial in their 2013 Hig Fab Chassis. This past weekend, Luke was back at Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York on Friday night and Brockville Speedway on Saturday.

At Mohawk Raceway, Stewart began the night with a fourth place finish in his qualifying heat race. He started the 25 lap feature from the third position, but struggled throughout the race. At the checkered flag, he was in the 12th position.

Although Friday night was a struggle, the team was optimistic that Saturday night would be better. Just a couple weeks ago, the led the first half of the race, en route to a solid sixth place finish, and were hopeful that they could be even better this time around. Luke finished second in his heat race, and returned to the pit area to get the car dialed in for the night’s 30 lap feature. Through the first 10 laps of the race, Luke was inside the top five, but struggled over the next 10 lap segment and was running tenth as they crossed the line at lap 20. When the final caution was displayed on lap 26th, Stewart had made his way back up to eighth place, and crossed the finish line with a ninth place result.

Despite the up and down season, Luke is currently inside the top ten in points at both weekly tracks. As we enter the second half of the 2013 season, Stewart will be looking to improve on his consistency and will be aiming to establish himself as a weekly top five and top ten contender.

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. Saturday night at Brockville is also driver autograph night, giving race fans a chance to get up close to the cars and drivers during the on track session during the intermission.
