Plattsburgh, NY \u2013 Joey Doiron continued his strong summer this past weekend at Airborne Speedway in one of the Pro All Stars Series biggest races this past weekend at the Airborne Speedway, another race in the PASS National championship series which includes heavy hitters from both the North and the South. Just a few weeks after capturing the inaugural PASS event at Thunder Road and winning the Pro Series 125 at Beech Ridge, Doiron dominated the International 500 event on his way to his third win of the season. Doiron lead for a third of the event, and beat out some of the best in the business, including Brian Hoar and Patrick Laperle at the finish, taking home over $11,000 in the process.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cI knew we had a great car today, the car was great in practice and I knew if we saved our stuff a little bit we\u2019d be there at the end,\u201d Doiron said of the win, \u201cTurns out we had a tire going down at the end, and for the last five or ten laps it was definitely flat, the car started to drag the nose a little bit with about 40 to go and it hadn\u2019t done that all race so I knew something was up, I\u2019m just glad we didn\u2019t have a yellow at the end.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

After turning the fastest lap in the final round of practice, Doiron took second in the heat race, giving him an 11th\u00a0place starting spot for the 200 lap feature event. Doiron had a strong start, as he drove into the top five by lap 30, and had the race lead by lap 40. After battling hard with Brent Dragon, Doiron paced himself behind the seasoned veteran until it was time to make his move. On lap 111, Doiron took the lead and paced the field for the final 89 circuits. Doiron nursed the flat tire home, and the race ran clean and green to the finish as he took the checkered flag!<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Doiron has turned it up as of late, and will look to keep that momentum up in two weeks at Oxford Plains Speedway during the next event for the PASS North Series. This race will be a preview of things to come in the next big show for the North, the coveted Oxford 250 on August 30th<\/span><\/span>. Racing kicks off at 3:00PM<\/span><\/span> at Oxford Plains Speedway, support your local short track and come see some of the best racing in the Northeast!<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
