Joey Doiron Opens North season with runner up

Project1Oxford, ME – Joey Doiron was able to take his second place starting spot and dominate the season opener for the Pro All Stars Series North in the #73 Wild Willy’s Burgers Chevrolet on his way to an eventual second place finish at Oxford Plains Speedway. After winning the season opener a year ago at Beech Ridge, Doiron was confident he would have a car that could contend for another win after a great practice session in the morning.

It wasn’t long before Doiron got to show just how good of a car he had, as he took the win in the second heat race very convincingly. With that, he would start from the outside of the front row in the feature event, lined up alongside fellow Dale Shaw Racecars driver Brad Babb.

DJ Shaw Hopes To Start PASS North Season Strong At Oxford

DJ1Center Conway, NH – The Pro All Stars Series North season opener is this weekend at Oxford Plains Speedway. After what seemed to be a never ending offseason for some, DJ Shaw and the Precision JLM Racing team have been hard at work on and off the track. After a couple of top ten finishes in the PASS National series, including a runner up finish in the Easter Bunny 150 two weeks ago, the crew is more prepared than ever for a good start to the season at Oxford Plains Speedway.

While Shaw hasn’t raced in a few weeks, he and his father, Dale Shaw, built and crewed on the car that Jimmy Hebert drove to the win in the Governor’s Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway this past weekend, getting the sophomore driver his first win in the American Canadian Tour, all behind the wheel of a brand new Dale Shaw Racecar.

Joey Doiron Ready For PASS North Season Opener

driver_jdBerwick, ME – After a long offseason in the northeast, Joey Doiron and #73 Wild Willy’s Burgers/JBJ Machine racing team are ready to get the northern season started this weekend at Oxford Plains Speedway. The Pro All Stars Series North season opening “Ripley and Fletcher Ford 150” is this Sunday, April 21st. After a few great runs to start the season in the PASS National series, including a win to open the season at Auburndale Speedway, Joey Doiron is hoping to get another win to start the year off right this weekend.

“We won the season opener at Beech Ridge last year and that gave us a boost on the rest of the season,” Doiron said of his strong start just a year ago, “looking to Oxford we know we can do the same and get us another strong start.”
The last time the series was at Oxford Plains Speedway was last October for the season finale, and after making several big gains on the car, Doiron ended the night with a top ten finish with a car that he thought could have contended for a podium finish.

PASS North Series: Reid Lanpher
Oxford Plains Speedway Race Preview

THE STORY
MANCHESTER, Maine – Reid Lanpher of Manchester, Maine, makes his PASS North Series debut when the series opens its 2013 season in the Ripley & Fletcher Ford 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Sunday, April 21. The 14-year-old JR Motorsports development driver competed in a handful of Granite State Pro Stock Series events last summer, but this weekend’s race marks his first full-blow Super Late Model effort after running primarily Late Model Stocks in the south and Legend cars here in the northeast. Lanpher posted a pair of Top-10 runs in GSPSS efforts last summer while also winning the open-competition “Fall Brawl” Pro Stock event at Wiscasset Speedway in October in a Ricci Race Car prepared by Tony Ricci of Westbrook, Maine. It’s the same car that Lanpher will bring to Oxford, where four-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series East champion Andy Santerre – a former competition director at both Rev Racing and Hattori Racing Enterprises – will serve as crew chief. Lanpher has never competed in a race event at Oxford Plains Speedway. (more…)
