After a crash in qualifying on Saturday, Doiron started 26th in the 32-car field and drove all the way to the Top-10 by the midway point of the season&#8217;s longest race. The No. 73 JBJ Machine\/Scarborough Downs Chevrolet led for more than 20 laps in the late stages of the event, but he was overtaken on a restart with just 19 laps remaining and couldn&#8217;t regain track position lost following contact with a lapped car.

Ben (Rowe) is probably one of the cleanest guys out here to race with. I was keeping him honest for a while there when I was behind him for a little while in the early part of the race. I had that restart (on Lap 257) and it looked like I&#8217;d be able to get away. <\/p>\n<p>I felt like I definitely had the best car tonight.<\/p>\n<p>DID YOU THINK YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO CHALLENGE FOR THE WIN AGAIN IN THE FINAL LAPS?<\/p>\n<p>I caught that late-race restart \u2013 the last thing I needed. I fell in behind Ben, and I thought I was going to have one more opportunity to get him.<\/p>\n<p>Then some lapped car that&#8217;s been in three or four wrecks decided to pull out into the middle of the track going down the backstretch.
