LaSalle Motorsports Scores Strong Top Ten Finish in Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series Race at Brockville with Danny O’Brien

The LaSalle Motorsports M96 Modified had sat idle during the first few weeks of the season. This past week, the car returned to action as the LaSalle Motorsports team sought out the talents of Danny O’Brien to pilot their car for the 100 lap Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series race at Brockville last Wednesday night.

O’Brien qualified through the heat race, taking the fifth and final qualifying position, earning the 16th starting spot for the 100 lap main event. As the race hit the halfway mark, O’Brien had worked the LaSalle Motorsports ride into the top ten, and was up to eighth on a lap 79 restart. Danny finished the race in the eighth position.

“It was a great night at the track”, says car owner Mike LaSalle. “It was great working with Danny and his crew and they worked real well with our own LaSalle Motorsports team. It was a solid night, and we were the highest finishing small block. We are real happy with that”.

The M96 Modified will return to the shop, and Jeremy LaSalle’s Sportsman team will continue to be the team’s focus going forward. LaSalle had a rough night on Saturday, getting caught up in an early race incident, ending his night early.
