Doiron started third for his best start of the season and raced inside the Top-10 during the entire caution-filled event.

EPPING, N.H. – Lonnie Sommerville of Saint John, New Brunswick, finished fourth in the PASS North Series Star 150 at Star Speedway in Epping, N.H., on Saturday, May 14. It was Sommerville’s second fourth-place finish in as many starts this season. Sommerville started eighth in the 22-car field, but an early domino-effect spin set him back to shotgun on the field.

After a couple of leaders got together, he was forced to settle for the fourth-place finish.
