Danny O’Brien’s Three Race Win Streak Ends at the BOS After an Eighth Place Finish; Currently Second in Points as Championship Battle Heats Up

After winning the last three feature events at Brockville Speedway, Danny O’Brien and his team were looking forward to the opportunity to extend that streak as they look to narrow the 17 point deficit in the race for the Brockville Speedway track championship.

After a second place finish in the preliminary qualifying heat race, Danny lined up for the feature from deep in the field due to the track handicapping system based on performance from the past three races. The track surface was much different than a regular night with the sprint cars visiting, and it was difficult to pass. After climbing into the top ten late in the race, Danny battled to a disappointing eighth place result.

“It was pretty tough out there tonight. Nobody really did much passing”, explains O’Brien after the race. “We will be back here next week, and hopefully we can get back to where we were the past few weeks”.

Danny is currently second place in points at Brockville Speedway, and continues to trail by only 17 points in the battle for the coveted championship. He will return to Brockville again this Saturday night looking for another strong performance. Saturday night will also be a special night for the O’Brien family, as Pat O’Brien Sr. will be inducted into the Brockville Ontario Speedway Hall of Fame.
