THE STORY<\/strong> THE FACTS<\/strong> WHAT: PASS North Series Habitations Dany Lagace 150 PASS North Series DID YOU KNOW?<\/strong><\/p>\n Joey Doiron led the PASS North Series point standings for five consecutive weeks after winning the season opener at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, the longest stretch of his career at the top of the standings.<\/p>\n Joey Doiron has experience in both the PASS North Series and the ACT Late Model Tour at Autodrome Chaudiere.<\/p>\n Joey Doiron was named one of 10 drivers selected to participate in the 2012 \u201cMaine Young Guns\u201d competition with Go Green Racing. The winning driver will earn the right to participate in the September 22nd NASCAR K&N Pro Series East New Hampshire 100 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n Joey Doiron has as many Top-5 finishes this season (2) as he had in his previous two years in the PASS North Series combined.<\/p>\n WHAT THEY ARE SAYING<\/strong> \u201cThe first three races were on three different types of tracks, and we ran well at all of them. No doubt, you’re going to have bad luck at some point in the year. We’re still really good. We had that bad luck at the start of the heat race (at 660), so we never really had a chance to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n On heading to Autodrome Chaudiere this weekend: \u201cIt’s not a bad track. It’s like a smooth version of Star \u2013 it’s somewhere between Star and White Mountain (Motorsports Park). I loved it when we raced there with ACT. Last year, we were trying all kinds of stuff at the beginning of the year, so with what we had, I didn’t really like it. We’re much better this year; we’ve been a lot better over last 12 months than when we were last there so I’m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n \u201cThis one falls right in between being a driver’s track and the kind of track where you have to have a good car to win. You have to have a car, obviously, but you can gain a couple spots as a driver, too. You’re not necessarily going to make a big difference like you can at Star. It’s a fine line. You can do it with the right car, but you also have to pick your spots and know when to get up on wheel and try and get a couple more spots.\u201d<\/p>\n On the level of competition at the top of the PASS North standings this season: \u201cI think this has been one of the most competitive years in PASS history. Going into July the last few years, Johnny (Clark) was leading by 30 or 40 points already. You couldn’t ask for more parity. <\/p>\n Visit NERacingForum.Com<\/a> for latest New England Racing community News and updates.<\/p>\n
