Danny O’Brien Ready to Battle for 2013 Brockville Championship Despite 20 Point Disadvantage Going Into Final Showdown This Weekend

There will be a lot on the line this coming weekend as Danny O’Brien returns to Brockville Speedway looking to overcome a 20 point disadvantage as he looks to claim his 11th Brockville Ontario Speedway track title. Without a doubt, O’Brien has been the most successful racer in the history of the Brockville track, and despite the points needed to complete a solid year that already consists of five feature wins. O’Brien will also race at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night in the 125 lap Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified Series event which is also the finale for the Canadian Nationals Series.

This past Saturday night started off with the usual qualifying heat races and Danny charged to second place after starting at the rear of the field. The team began to tweak the car for the 30 lap main event, and Danny started from the outside of row number seven in the 14th starting position. Passing was at a premium all race long, but O’Brien was able to advance his position through the first half of the event, sitting in ninth place with 15 laps remaining. O’Brien climbed to sixth over the next few laps and maintained that spot through the finish of the race.

“We gained a few points tonight, but I would have liked to have finished higher”, say O’Brien after the race. “We have just one more points race left here, and it will take some luck to get the championship, but we will give it all we have and see where we are at after next week”.

This coming weekend, Danny will be back at Brockville for championship night on Saturday night. In addition to the regular weekly points on the line, the championship for the Ogilvie’s Auto Triple Crown Series is also up for grabs and Danny is just four point out of the lead in the battle for the championship. O’Brien will also be in action on Sunday night at Cornwall Speedway for the finale in the Canadian Nationals Series.

Danny O’Brien Gets Second Place Finish on Saturday Night at the BOS

After winning for the fifth time in 2013 last week at Brockville Speedway, Danny O’Brien was back this week, looking to gain some valuable points towards the track championship. With only three races remaining in the regular season championship points are on the minds of everyone.

Danny began the evening with a third place finish in his qualifying heat race after starting from sixth. After making some adjustments to the car, O’Brien hit the track for the 30 lap main event from the 16th starting position. Just six laps into the race Danny had moved into the seventh position, and by the halfway point of the race he was inside the top five. Over the final 10 laps, Danny found a fast lane on the outside of the track and drove to second place at the checkered flag.

“It was a pretty good night for us tonight”, says O’Brien after the race. “We really found something up top with a few laps to go. “Hopefully we can continue to post strong solid results over the next couple weeks and finish the year out strong”.

Prior to Saturday night’s events at Brockville, Danny had his car on display and was with his team at 1000 Islands RV Centre in Gananoque as part of their Customer Appreciation Clearance Sale.

This coming weekend, Danny will return to Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and will return to Brockville Speedway on Saturday night.

Danny O’Brien Returns to Brockville Speedway Victory Lane for the 5th Time in 2013 on Saturday Night After a Tough Two Week Stretch

The past two weeks at Brockville Speedway have been frustrating for Danny O’Brien and his team, getting caught up in incidents that purely were a result of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. O’Brien was back at Brockville on Saturday night, hoping his luck would turn, and get back to victory lane.

O’Brien started his qualifying heat race on the outside of the front row and quickly jumped out the lead. He held on for the win despite a last lap challenge, and after making some minor adjustments to the car, he was ready for the 30 lap main event. With the track handicapping based on finishes from the past three events, O’Brien had great third place starting position. He jumped to the lead with just three laps in the book and drove to victory for the fifth time this season.

“I really have to thank the crew and all of our sponsors”, says O’Brien from victory lane. “The past couple weeks have been really tough and we put a lot of hours into this car getting the car back together. I also want to thank the fans for their continued support, and hopefully we can have some more success over the final three races here for the regular season”.

This coming weekend, Danny will be back at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night and will return to the BOS on Saturday looking to post back to back victories. With just three points events left at Brockville, Danny is currently 3rd in points, just 33 points out of the lead in the battle for his 11th BOS track championship.

On Saturday afternoon, Danny and his team will have their car on display at 1000 Islands RV in Gananoque from 11am to 2pm. 1000 Islands RV is hosting their annual customer appreciation clearance sale, with live music, food and fun, as well as incredible deals on RVs, parts and accessories.
