NAPLES, ME (April 30) – Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, ME has long been one of the stalwarts on the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North Super Late Model schedule. The facility has hosted PASS events since 2006 and provides some of the closest action seen anywhere on the circuit. And, much like the first event of the season at Oxford Plains Speedway, this weekend’s Southern Maine Motors 150 will serve as a precursor to one of the biggest races of the season, the PASS 400 weekend at Beech Ridge in September. In fact, the racing has been so competitive that in the last five PASS events at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, five different drivers have gone to victory lane. Among those drivers is Joey Doiron, who scored his first career PASS North victory in last year’s Southern Maine Motors 150. And, if last year’s races are any indication, Doiron believes there will be no substitution for a good setup.
“Well Beech Ridge over the last two years has become a one groove racetrack and the key to success there is to make sure your car can pass on the bottom because everyone else usually lines up on the outside,” said Doiron. (more…)

“I don’t really know what to say to it,” said Babb, 20, of Windham, Maine. “I mean, I still just want to go out and win races like they’ve always done.”

Joey Doiron Eyes Another Beech Ridge Win
Doiron Views SouthernMaineMotors.com 300 As An Opportunity
BERWICK, Maine – Joey Doiron has seen both ends of the spectrum at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway this season, and he’s hoping for another dose of success when the PASS North Series returns to the track this weekend.
After winning the PASS North Series season opener at Beech Ridge in May, Doiron struggled in the series’ return date in early July.
