WHAT THEY’RE SAYING<\/p>\n

JOEY DOIRON, Driver of the No. 73 JBJ Machine\/Dale Shaw Race Cars Chevrolet, On heading to the PASS 300 this weekend: \u201cI’m going there to win. If we don’t finish in the Top-3, I’ll be honest, I’ll be disappointed with the way we’ve run over there weekly this season. We had a first or second place car every time we’ve been there. In PASS races, we’ve always been better than we’ve been in weekly races.\u201d<\/p>\n

On what the most challenging aspect of the 300 is: \u201cProbably the pit stop. It’s hard to keep up with guys like Johnny (Clark) who can change four tires fast and get back out. Ideally, I think best race for us would be a 200-lap, no tire change race. That would really equalize setups and drivers once the tires wear out.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I like (the 300) better than a 150-lap race. It separates guys who can go 150 laps and not really have to drive a car once the tires wear out. It adds more factors with attrition and that kind of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the uniqueness of Beech Ridge: \u201cIt’s a very technical track, compared to most we go to. It’s a track where you can easily over-drive it. It’s a fine line of howe you have to drive to keep the tires on it but also be able to stay in the lead pack.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people think it’s one groove and you have to be on the outside. I think it’s fun to try and work on the bottom to get around people, because nobody really wants to do that anymore. The roles are kind of reversed from when I was a kid going there and everybody wanted to be on the bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n
