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.
