Hermon, ME – After enjoying a few weeks to celebrate their win at Thunder Road Speedbowl, the #73 JBJ Machine team with Joey Doiron behind the wheel returned to action this past weekend. Race number six of the Pro All Stars Series North brought the team to Speedway 95 just outside of Bangor, Maine for the “Hight Chevrolet 150.” Doiron was looking to keep up the momentum in this race, but engine issues late in the race slowed his pace, but Doiron still managed to grab a eighth place finish.
“We had a top five car at least at the end there, but something went wrong with the motor and I lost the power steering too,” Doiron said after the race, “We had to pit and I made up as much ground as I could, and I’m glad we still salvaged a top ten out of today.”

While Doiron started the 150-lap headline event at Thunder Road’s annual Mekklesen RV Memorial Day Classic he had plenty of competition, as he chased fellow former ACT stars Glen Luce and Wayne Helliwell, Jr. through most of the first one-third of the event.
