WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
\nJOEY DOIRON, Driver of the No. 73 JBJ Machine\/Scarborough Downs Chevrolet, On why he’s always been competitive at Oxford Plains Speedway: \u201cI’m not sure, because it’s not necessarily one of my favorite places. It’s really wide. My preference is a little narrower track, but we’ve got a pretty good package on the flat tracks and we’ve been decent there. <\/p>\n

\u201cI haven’t had the best finishes there, but speed-wise and handling-wise I feel like I’ve always had a car that could win on the flat tracks. It suits my driving style. Growing up on Beech Ridge where it’s momentum based and has flat corners \u2013 Oxford’s more of what I learned to drive on than the quarter-miles and bullrings that we go to. I run good on those, but it’s not necessarily the type of track I grew up on.\u201d<\/p>\n

On looking forward to getting back to Oxford Plains this weekend: \u201cThe last two times we’ve gone to Oxford, we’ve probably been one of the top three cars there. In July, I felt I had the best car \u2013 but it always seems something happens. We had an electrical failure last October, we got taken out in the heat race for no reason in July. It was a long night.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the 300 (at Beech Ridge two weeks ago), with everything we overcame, there’s no reason we can’t go and win this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

On rebounding from bad luck the last two weeks: \u201cTo be honest, the last few weeks the finishes haven’t reflected the car I’ve been given. I just want to get everybody a finish we deserve. <\/p>\n

\u201cStill, I keep looking back at the start of year, and I said that our goal for this year was to win a race, and we did that in the season opener. No matter where we finish this weekend or where we finish in points \u2013 with everything we’ve done, we’ve met our goals. Next year, we’ll just need to set our goals a little higher.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
