White Mountain Motorsports Park Race Preview
THE STORY
Joey Doiron of Berwick, Maine, will try and keep the momentum rolling in the White Mountains when the PASS North Series heads to the PASS 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., on Saturday, May 26. The 20-year-old Doiron leads the series point standings through two events with a win and a pair of Top-5 finishes on his resume in 2012. Though he doesn’t consider White Mountain Motorsports Park among his favorite annual stops on the circuit, the No. 73 JBJ Machine/Scarborough Downs Chevrolet has only finished outside the Top-10 on the high-banked quarter-mile once in four career PASS starts there.

LOUDON, N.H. (May 22, 2012) – The north end garage at New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been the home of NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series for nearly two decades. But when stock car racing’s premier circuit returns to Loudon for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 on July 15, they will have a new home in the infield center garage, a move that is expected to make life easier for teams and fans alike.
“This is a culmination of about four years of planning,” said John Zudell, New Hampshire Motor Speedway vice president of operations and development. “When we rearranged the south half of the infield in 2009, it started the conversation of putting the Sprint Cup Series in the center garage. This upcoming season, fans will be able to see Cup drivers in the center of the infield.”
