Dylan Evoy Gets Third Place Finish at Mohawk Raceway Opener; Battles Back From Early Adversity for Top Ten Finish at Brockville

May 16, 2012  

After traveling to Can Am Motorsports Park with great success early in 2012, Dylan Evoy returned to his two weekly tracks this past weekend for their season opening nights.  Friday night was Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York, while Saturday was their hometown Brockville Speedway season opener.

Evoy, the reigning Sportsman champion at Mohawk Raceway with nine feature wins in 2011 started the night off strong.  By virtue of a draw upon entering the track, Evoy started his qualifying heat race from the front row, and cruised to victory, leading all eight laps and going virtually unchallenged.  In the 20 lap main event, Evoy started from the front row, and battled for the lead on lap one before settling into second place.  Evoy maintained that spot through the first half of the race, before falling to third.  He maintained that position through the end of the event.

“It wasn’t a bad run, but the car just got too tight, especially in the second half of the race”, says Evoy.  “It was good to get back into the regular routine, and I look forward to racing here again this year and trying to defend our title”.

At Brockville Speedway on Saturday night, Evoy started his qualifying heat from seventh place, and patiently worked his way forward.  He had advanced to third place as the checkered flag was being displayed, but a driveline issue sent Evoy’s car scurrying to the infield, and unable to cross the finish line.  After getting the problems fixed, Evoy started the 25 lap main event from the back of the pack.  Evoy struggled early, and made his way into the top ten as the final laps counted down.  He was credited with a tenth place run.

“It was certainly not the night we were looking for.  We had a lot of damage in the driveline and had to replace the transmission.  I've got to thank my crew for all their hard work in getting things fixed just in time for the feature. With all the work to fix the transmission we didn't have time to work on set-up. The car just didn’t perform as well as we had hoped, and after the problems we had in the heat race, we were so far back in the pack, and it was just tough to pass”.

Dylan and the Evoy Racing team will be back at Mohawk International Raceway this coming Friday night, and Brockville Speedway on Saturday night with a 40 lap main event as round one of the St. Lawrence Sportsman Championship Series takes place.
