Luke Stewart Scores Best Career Finish at Brockville Speedway With Impressive Fourth Place Result on Saturday Night

After scoring their first top five finish of the season at Brockville Speedway just a couple weeks ago, Luke Stewart and his team gained some confidence, proving that they can run up front and contend for wins amongst the elite drivers in the 358 Modified division. With the season winding down, Stewart was hoping to continue that success this past weekend and carry it through to the end of the season.

After a tough fifth place finish in the qualifying heat race on Saturday night at the BOS, Stewart made some final adjustments to keep up with the changing track conditions that were further enhanced with the Sprint Cars on hand. Once the 30 lap feature started, it was clear that the changes were in the right direction as Luke rolled off the starting grid from sixth place and quickly worked his way into the top five. The race went caution free through the opening 19 laps, before two consecutive cautions on lap 19 and 20. When the race resumed, Luke was up to the third position and looking strong. Tire wear was starting to become an issue as the final laps counted down, and it was clear that Luke was starting to lose grip, but as the checkered flag fell to end the race, Stewart was in the fourth position, posting his best ever Brockville Speedway finish.

“We are extremely happy with our run tonight”, says Stewart after the race. “This Hig-Fab car has been really good lately, and I can’t thank them enough for all their help as we try to get this car dialed in. Hopefully we can have a good week next week to end the season strong”.

This coming weekend, Luke will be back in action at Brockville Speedway on Saturday for the final points night at the track. It will be a 50 lap Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series event. Going into the night, Luke remains solidly in the top ten, and will clinch a top ten overall position just by starting Saturday night’s feature.

Luke Stewart Grabs Best Finish of 2013 With Impressive Top Five Run at Brockville Speedway on Saturday Night

The 2013 season has been a learning experience for Luke Stewart and his Sydenham, Ontario based team. They are utilizing a 2013 Hig-Fab chassis, and have been learning every week the characteristics of the car on different track conditions at both Mohawk Raceway and Brockville Speedway.

On Saturday night, Luke was back at Brockville looking for a strong finish. With just a few weeks left in the regular season, Stewart is looking to finish the year strong, and solidify his position amongst the top ten in track points. The night started off with a second place finish in the qualifier, and after a few adjustments he was ready for the 30 lap main event. After leading the first couple laps, Stewart soon settled into fourth place and maintained that position through lap ten. Through the remaining 20 laps, Luke continued to hold a top five position, and crossed the finish line with his best finish of the season with a solid fifth place result.

“We are very happy with the way this Hig-Fab car worked tonight”, says Stewart after the race. “Jerry Higbie and his staff have been great to work with, and together we are working hard at getting this car more consistent here at Brockville”.

This coming weekend, Luke will be back in action at 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.
