Joey Doiron Racing: PASS North Series
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Preview
Joey Doiron of Berwick, Maine, returns to the site of his first career PASS North Series victory for the SouthernMaineMotors.com 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, July 7. Doiron dominated the season-opening 150-lap event at Beech Ridge back in May, and the driver of the No. 73 JBJ Machine/Scarborough Downs Chevrolet is eager to get back to the .333-mile oval. Doiron is third in the series standings through six races – one of only three drivers to post five Top-10 finishes this season – and would like to contend for the victory Saturday to help close the 34-point gap to the current point leader. On a similarly-sized race track at Canaan Fair Speedway last weekend, Doiron was disappointed to finish 10th and is hoping to rebound from that at Beech Ridge.

The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North season approaches the half way mark this Saturday July 7 at Scarborough Maine’s, Beech Ridge Motor Speedway and there are a few drivers with goose eggs in their win column that will look to The Ridge to change that statistic.
Topping that list is Lonnie Sommerville, defending race winner of the Southern Maine Motors.com 150. The New Brunswick racer sits fifth in the PASS point standings and finished second in the season opener so its clear he still has the touch for the Cusack family’s oval. Derek Ramstrom has been oh- so close to victory and he was on the podium last time out at the Ridge. DJ Shaw is right behind Ramstrom in the standings and Shaw is a winner in Beech Ridge Pro Series competition; he’s had numerous top fives when the PASS North show comes to town but a win would go a long way to put is 2012 season on track.

The Benjamin Motorsports team was at Canaan Fairgrounds this past weekend with high hopes of continuing its strong start of the 2012 season. After being 2nd, 3rd and 3rd on the practice speed charts the team thought they would be in good shape.
The team would start 3rd in its qualifying heat and after a side by side battle with Joey Doiron for six laps Travis would bring the 17 car home with another qualifying win. That would start the Benjamin Motorsports team in the 11th starting spot for the feature. The Pro All Stars Series has a rule that states if you win a race you can never start better than 11th for the main event.
