Danny O’Brien Has Mixed Results in 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals Weekend at Brockville Speedway to Conclude 2013 Season

With six feature wins at Brockville Speedway in 2013, Danny O’Brien and his race team were looking forward to getting back to the BOS this weekend for the 2013 season finale 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals Weekend, and add another victory to his season totals as the track hosts some of the biggest starts in the sport from Ontario, Quebec, New York and New Jersey.

On Saturday afternoon, Danny timed fourth fastest in his time trial group, and started his heat race from the outside of row two in the fourth position. Over the course of the eight lap event, O’Brien moved to third place, securing a spot in the redraw for a top 12 starting position. Danny would start from the seventh position, and would quickly work his way into the top five. O’Brien would remain in the top five for most of the race, sitting in fifth as they reached lap 75, but tire wear was a concern in the closing laps, and Danny would suffer a flat tire late in the race, and would finish a disappointing 21st.

Sunday was a new day, and O’Brien was hoping for another solid day, this time against the Big Block Modifieds. Danny finished fourth in his qualifying heat race, locking into the 100 lap main event, but finishing just one spot out of a redraw position. Danny would start the race from 13th. It was a relatively uneventful day, and O’Brien would cross the finish line in 12th.

Danny O’Brien Scores Top 12 Results in DIRTcar 358 Series Races; Final Event of 2013 Coming up at Brockville Speedway This Weekend

Although Super DIRT Week primarily focuses on events at the New York State Fairgrounds, there are also satellite events at surrounding tracks and Danny O’Brien participated in the 358 DIRTcar Series events at Weedsport Speedway on Wednesday night and Brewerton Speedway on Thursday.

At Weedsport, O’Brien was second fastest overall in his time trial group, earning a front row starting spot for his qualifying heat race. After grabbing the heat race victory, O’Brien made the redraw for the 75 lap main event, and would draw the 10th starting spot. Danny was up to sixth late in the race, but fell to 10th as the final laps counted down.

The action moved to Brewerton Speedway on Thursday night, and once again, O’Brien was fast early in the night, setting fast time in his qualifying group. Danny backed that up with a heat race victory, and would redraw position number 7 for the 100 lap main event. Danny fired from inside of row four for the feature race, but the speed that was there earlier in the night wasn’t there, and the car fell back through the field to 14th by lap 32. O’Brien was able to move up to 12th before the checkered flag.

This coming weekend is the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals at Brockville Speedway. It will be the final event of the 2013 season for O’Brien and team. Friday night he will be on the track for timed hot laps, with the fast time earning a spot in Saturday’s 100 lap 358 Modified Series finale. Saturday afternoon will be the main event for the 358 Modifieds, and Sunday, O’Brien plans to qualify for the Big Block Modified main event.
