O’Brien would have to come from the back of his qualifying heat race, but he moved forward quickly, finishing with a solid third place effort. When he returned for the 50 lap feature, Danny rolled off the starting grid from the eighth position, and when the first caution of the night came on lap eight, Danny was already up to the fourth position. Just before the caution was displayed again on lap 14, O’Brien found his way to second, and made a strong bid for the lead on the ensuing restart before settling back into the runner-up spot. He maintained that position for the duration of the race, and crossed the finish line with a solid second place run.
“It was a good way to start our season”, says O’Brien after the race. “The car was good all night. We almost had the lead at one point on a restart but we couldn’t quite pull it off. I would like to say thanks to all of our sponsors, our fans, and the team that I have here that works on the car every week”.
This coming week will be a busy one for Danny O’Brien and his team. They will be at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, back to Brockville Speedway on Saturday night, and Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night for their 100 lap DIRTcar 358 Series /Canadian Nationals Series race. On Victoria Day Monday, the same 358 Series head to Merrittville Speedway in Thorold, Ontario.
