Joey Doiron: PASS North Series
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway
SCARBOROUGH, Maine – Joey Doiron of Berwick, Maine, finished fifth in the PASS North Series Southern Maine Motors.com 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, July 9. It was the best finish of the season for the reigning PASS North Series Rookie of the Year and came at his home track. Doiron started 14th, but he worked his way into the Top-10 after just a handful of laps. He moved into the fifth spot on Lap 80 and was fourth just five laps later. Doiron was closing in on third place when his engine weakened, however, but he was able to hold on for fifth at the checkered flag. It will be a quick turnaround for Doiron and the rest of the PASS North teams, as he will compete at Lee USA Speedway’s Bastille 200 this coming Tuesday, July 12.

CANAAN, N.H. – Lonnie Sommerville of Saint John, New Brunswick, rallied for a hard-fought fifth-place finish in the PASS North Series Firecracker 150 at Canaan Fair Speedway in Canaan, N.H., on Saturday, July 2. Sommerville took the lead briefly in the event’s early going after starting fourth, but a broken control arm before the halfway mark significantly hindered the handling on the No. 48 A.E. McKay Builders/Community Pharmacies Chevrolet. Sommerville, who posted his third Top-5 in five races this season in the Mulkern Racing entry, led a total of nine laps on the night. He never dropped lower than sixth in the running order and used a couple of late restarts to crack the Top-5 in his first-ever visit to Canaan. (more…)
