Danny Johnson Takes Lafrance Performance Powered Small Block to a 3rd Place Finish in 358 Modified DIRTcar Series Race at Mohawk Raceway

Over the last few decades, there arguably has not been a driver that has had greater success in the Northeast Dirt Modified world than that of Danny Johnson. With Lafrance Performance power under the hood, Johnson drove his Travis Stacey prepared car to a solid third place finish on Sunday afternoon at Mohawk International Raceway in the 358 Modified DIRTcar Series event.

It was a success weekend for Lafrance Performance at Autodrome Granby as well, as Alain Boisvert posted a solid fourth place finish in the Bert 150 on Saturday, while Chris Raabe rebounded from a couple of issues to finish inside the top ten as well.

Johnson’s third place finish earns him the Lafrance Performance performer of the week awards this week. More big events are on tap this weekend, as RPM Speedway hosts the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series on Friday night, and Brighton Speedway is up next on Saturday night for another 100 lap DIRTcar Series event. Teams will then have a couple weeks off to prepare for the Super DIRT Week at the New York State Fairground on October 8th to 13th.
