PASS NorthJoey Doiron Racing: PASS North Series
Oxford Plains Speedway Race Preview

Joey Doiron of Berwick, Maine, joins the rest of the PASS North Series when it heads to the TD Bank Oxford 250 weekend for the Dunkin’ Donuts 150 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine, on Saturday, July 21. Doiron posted a pair of Top-10 finishes in the two PASS races held on the flat, .375-mile oval last season and is looking for more of the same to stay in the thick of the PASS North Series championship battle this time around. The No. 73 JBJ Machine/Scarborough Downs Chevrolet is coming off an eighth-place finish last time out at Thompson International Speedway in Thompson, Conn., and sits just 32 points out of the series lead with just seven races remaining – including two at Oxford, where the series returned last season for the first time in five years.

Flag to Flag Win for Brett Moffitt

by | Jul 18, 2012 | NASCAR, NASCAR K&N Pro Series, Touring Series News

NASCAR K&N SeriesBrett Moffitt, driver of the #11 Hattori Racing Enterprises (HRE) Don Valley North Toyota Camry, won everything there was to win at the Samuel 150 at CNB Bank Raceway Park in Clearfield, PA on Saturday, July 14th.

Raceway Park, a .52 mile asphalt oval, last played host to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 1988, so conquering the unfamiliar track conditions presented a challenge for all current series teams. The #11 HRE Toyota team unloaded a fast car and set the pace during the first practice session. Crew Chief Dave McCarty elected to work on race set up, rather than making a mock pole run, so Moffitt’s practice times in the second session were somewhat slower than the first session times.
