Danny O’Brien Gets Third Place Finish in LaSalle Motorsports Ride at Brighton Speedway; Jeremy LaSalle Pulls Double Duty at Brighton

Although the LaSalle Motorsports M96 Modified only ran a limited schedule in 2014, race fans and competitors surely took notice, as they had a great deal of success with Danny O’Brien behind the wheel in select events this season, including this past weekend during the 10th Annual Applefest Weekend at Brighton Speedway.

On Friday night, Jeremy and his Northwood2 Construction Sportsman team hit the track for a 35 lap DIRTcar Sportsman Series main event. It was a struggle early for LaSalle and would start the race from the 25th starting position. Jeremy had worked his way into the top 20 at one point, but would be credited with a 23rd place finish at the checkered flag. Danny O’Brien also took to the track on Friday night for a couple of warm up sessions in preparation of Saturday’s 100 lap race.

On Saturday night, Danny O’Brien was back behind the wheel of the LaSalle Motorsports Modified while Jeremy LaSalle was also in action with his Sportsman, competing against the Modifieds. LaSalle was able to set fast time in his group in practice, and finished fourth in his qualifying heat race. He started the 100 lap main event from the 22nd position. The entire night was about gaining valuable experience and it was mission accomplished for LaSalle. As for O’Brien, he had a very strong night, finishing second in his qualifying heat race, and starting the 100 lap race from the front row. O’Brien led the opening 20 laps of the race, and remained amongst the top three cars throughout the race and finished in third.

Jeremy LaSalle will return to Brockville for one final event on Saturday, October 18th as part of the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals. Danny O’Brien will also race that day in the LaSalle Motorsports M96 Modified in the Big Block Super DIRTcar Series race.

Danny O’Brien Takes LaSalle Motorsports Entry to a Sixth Place Finish in DIRTcar 358 Series Event at Mohawk Raceway

The 2014 season at Mohawk Raceway came to an end this past weekend as Danny O’Brien and his team, along with the LaSalle Motorsports team attended the Mohawk Nationals Weekend featuring a DIRTcar 358 Series race on Friday night and a Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series event on Saturday. O’Brien was back behind the wheel of the LaSalle Motorsports entry both nights.

On Friday night, O’Brien started the night off by timing third fastest in his time trial group, placing him third to start his qualifier. Danny finished the race in third, earning a spot in the all-important redraw for a top 12 starting spot in the 75 lap main event. After drawing position number nine, O’Brien lined up from the inside of row five and for the first 20 laps, it was a struggle. The first and only caution of the race came on lap 20 and O’Brien was riding in the 11th position. When the race resumed, he was finally able to work his way forward and was up to seventh as they hit lap 30. As the race progressed without a caution, passing was tough, but Danny found himself in a great battle for the sixth position over the final stages of the race and he would go on to finish in the sixth position.

“We missed the setup a little tonight, but it was still pretty good”, explained O’Brien after the race. “I really have to thank the crew, and the LaSalle Motorsports team for all their hard work, and allowing me to race their car this weekend”.

Saturday was a very frustrating day for everyone at Mohawk Raceway as drivers and fans alike waited out Mother Nature before the races finally got underway just before 11PM. To compound the frustration, DIRTcar officials elected to start the 100 lap main event with a lineup based on Super DIRTcar Series points, meaning O’Brien would have to come from the rear of the field with his 358 Modified against the more powerful Big Blocks on a very fast race track. O’Brien tried to battle with the Big Blocks, but was unsuccessful and pulled off the track with less than 30 laps complete.
