Going into the weekend, Josh VanBrocklin was pretty excited about Super DIRT Week. He ran very well at Syracuse in his maiden voyage last year, and was hoping to run well and stay in contention for the 2011 Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman championship. Before getting on the track at Syracuse though, VanBrocklin had a Mr. DIRTcar Series event scheduled at Weedsport Speedway on Wednesday evening, just a few minutes west of the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse.



At Weedsport on Wednesday night, VanBrocklin started the evening well, winning his qualifying heat, but the rest of the night turned to disaster quickly as he tagged the wall on the outside of turn one, which seemed to be a treacherous spot for many competitors all night long.



After working hard on the car all night Wednesday and Thursday, VanBrocklin was back on the track at the New York State Fairgrounds on Friday for practice and time trials for Saturday’s 30 lap championship event. VanBrocklin’s struggles continued as motor problems developed on the car, and he would be forced to run Saturday’s last chance qualifier to make the race.



On Saturday afternoon, VanBrocklin ran the last chance qualifier, and finished in 17th place. He was not able to make the field on his own, and would have to take a provisional starting spot, which he earned by being second in Mr. DIRTcar Series point standings. VanBrocklin was involved in a wreck on the final lap, and finished the race in 18th place.



This coming weekend, VanBrocklin will end the 2011 racing season at the Brockville Ontario Speedway. While VanBrocklin doesn’t have a lot of experience at the track, he did post a season ending victory there back in 2009, and will be looking to end the 2011 season in a similar fashion.
