     Back in 1991, Danny was working at NAPA Auto Parts along with Marcel Maillet and they were attending races at River Glade Speedway at the time. David Stiles had a Street stock for sale so they decided to buy it.

     The car was a 76 Chevelle which they rebuilt over the winter and started racing at River Glade in 1992. The first year was an intense learning session but they managed one win and a fourteenth place points finish. This gave Danny the “Rookie of the Year” award.

     The 1993 season was full of mechanical problems but the team won two heat races and garnered their first feature win. They finished 10th in the points.

     The 1994 season was much more promising with two feature victories and fourth in the points. They received the “most laps run” award, only missing one lap all season. The crew won the “Pit Crew of the Year” award as well.

     1995 was sort of a breakout year for the Bourque team, winning seven features including five in a row between River Glade and Miramichi Speedway. They also won two features on the same Sunday, one at River Glade and the other at Miramichi. They finished second in the points

     The next year, the team purchased an old Sportsman from Danny Duke and moved up in class. They raced at two tracks in 1996, River Glade and Shediac’s new Can-Am Speedway, now Centre for Speed. They finished eleventh in points at River Glade and fifth at Shediac, taking a combination of five victories in heats and semis.

     The 1997 season was definately a step in the right direction, winning seven races, including one feature. They were tenth at River Glade and third at Shediac.

     In 1998 things were difficult because of rule changes at River Glade so they just ran at Shediac, taking 2 heat or semi races, and finishing eighth in the points race.

In 1999, they moved back over to River Glade but a lack of sponsorship forced them to only run the one track. They won a fifty lap feature and finished fourth in the points.

The next year, 2000, saw the team return to running at both River Glade and Shediac. It was their most successful season, winning numerous heat and semi races and finished second in points at Shediac and fourth at River Glade.
