Danny O’Brien Makes Last Minute Decision to Travel to Fulton Speedway on Saturday Night after Brockville Speedway Gets Rained Out

Like most weekend’s in 2014, Danny O’Brien and his race team had planned to visit Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and Brockville Speedway on Saturday night. Once again, Mother Nature refuse to co-operate on Friday night, and the decision was made early by track officials to cancel the program. Saturday was a little different story, as the forecast wasn’t all that bad going into Saturday afternoon, with just a minimal chance of rain. However, as O’Brien was enroute to the track, Mother Nature decided to make an appearance at the track, and Brockville Speedway also fell victim to rain.

Not wanting to stay home on a Saturday night, O’Brien opted to make a quick dash home to get passports, and before long they were back on the road, this time to Fulton Speedway. They arrived just before the qualifying heat races, and O’Brien would have to start at the rear of the field. The competition was tough, as O’Brien had his 358 Small Block while most of the other cars had Big Blocks, and the disadvantage was even more relevant with all the rain making the track very fast and tacky throughout the night. O’Brien ended the night with a 19th place result.

“The result doesn’t really matter here”, says O’Brien. “We wanted to come down here and have a little fun. We always enjoy racing at other tracks, and when Brockville made the decision to cancel, we all decided to give Fulton a try”.

This coming weekend O’Brien will be back at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and will return to Brockville Speedway on Saturday evening.

The new 2014 Danny O’Brien t-shirts/sweatshirts/hoodies are in as well as the 2x3 flags, and license plate designs. Be sure to stop by the Finish Line Web Design driver merchandise trailer located behind the main grandstand at Brockville Speedway each Saturday night.
