Plattsburgh, NY – Joey Doiron continued his strong summer this past weekend at Airborne Speedway in one of the Pro All Stars Series biggest races this past weekend at the Airborne Speedway, another race in the PASS National championship series which includes heavy hitters from both the North and the South. Just a few weeks after capturing the inaugural PASS event at Thunder Road and winning the Pro Series 125 at Beech Ridge, Doiron dominated the International 500 event on his way to his third win of the season. Doiron lead for a third of the event, and beat out some of the best in the business, including Brian Hoar and Patrick Laperle at the finish, taking home over $11,000 in the process.
“I knew we had a great car today, the car was great in practice and I knew if we saved our stuff a little bit we’d be there at the end,” Doiron said of the win, “Turns out we had a tire going down at the end, and for the last five or ten laps it was definitely flat, the car started to drag the nose a little bit with about 40 to go and it hadn’t done that all race so I knew something was up, I’m just glad we didn’t have a yellow at the end.” (more…)
