PASS North: Joey Doiron breaks through at Beech Ridge

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Media, contact Norm Desjardins racewithpass@yahoo.com

 

Scarborough ME (5/5) Berwick Maine’s Joey Doiron charged to the lead on lap 87 of Saturday’s PASS North Southern Maine Motors.com 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway  to earn a convincing victory, the first for the series’ 2010 Rookie of the Year. Lonnie Sommerville raced home in second followed by Derek Ramstrom, Cassius Clark and DJ Shaw. Doiron came from tenth on the grid and drove under Sommerville and race leader Shaw for a lead he would never relinquish.

 

Doiron’s best previous PASS North finish - a fourth - came in this event one year ago.

Doiron considers Beech Ridge his home track, and his victory comes after two seasons of trying to carry the PASS feature checkers.  Despite his Rookie of the Year title in 2010, Doiron has suffered through more than his share of mechanical issues and on track incidents.The family– focused race teams’ perseverance paid off Saturday as the young man drove off to the most convincing win that PASS fans have witnessed in recent memory.

The season opener proved to be a day for the young guns to shine. Aaron Ricker, Shaw and Sommerville shared the lead over the first two thirds of the race and 2011 Co-Rookie of the Year Kyle DeSouza, Ramstrom, and Brad Babb spent most of the day contending for the top spot.  Cassius Clark (4th) and Gary Smith (8th) both came from the back of the 32 car field and they were the only two in the top ten that have more than a few years experience on the tour’s tracks.

2011 race winner and defending series champion Johnny Clark had a race he’d rather forget, as did Ben and Mike Rowe. Clark qualified through the consolation rounds and started nineteenth. Clark picked up eight spots by lap 21 but he was sliding back 20 laps later and it was clear that there were problems with the 54. A trip to the pits under caution for a fix seemed to do the trick and he was back in the top five by lap 102. But the same driveline problem resurfaced, shutting off Clark’s ride intermittently and sending him sideways on more than one occasion. Only experience and determination allowed him to salvage a 16th place finish. Ben Rowe never seemed to have a handle on the speedway, despite his teams’ best efforts. Rowe had to settle for 22nd at the checkers. Mike Rowe had a race similar to his sons’ and the best the legend could muster was 18th.

The top eight all completed 150 green flag laps in just over an hour. The race was slowed by six caution periods, and Doiron’s late race dominance led to a 6.942 margin of victory. Fast lap was set by DJ Shaw (15.316/78.271). Qualifying wins went to Ricker, Hubbard and Shaw. Johnny Clark and Donnie Whitten prevailed in the consolation rounds.

The PASS Mod field had its’ strongest opening day showing ever and it was an all Shaw show from green to checker. Andy Shaw sat on the pole with Dale Shaw outside, and the pair swapped the lead on several occasions before the defending race and series champion prevailed. Dale chased Andy to the checkers and Dana Reed raced home third with Mark Lundblad Jr. and Travis Buzzell fourth and fifth. Scott Alexander and Andy Shaw claimed their heat races.

The PASS Sportsman suffered from the dreaded yellow fever early in their 75 lap feature. Five of the seven caution flags flew in the first 30 laps but once the field hit their stride the racing was intense. Carey Martin worked his way by Clyde Hennessey on a lap 28 restart and never gave up the lead, despite Craig Smith’s late race charge. Mike Clark made his trip from Littleton New Hampshire worthwhile with a solid third; Clyde Hennessey and Scott Dorr settled for fourth and fifth. Jarrod Ledger and Nate Leavitt earned the front row starting spots in their qualifiers.

The PASS Super Late Models and Mods are in action Saturday May 12th when the bull ring, Epping New Hampshire’s Star Speedway, hosts the two series. Race Time is 4:30 PM. The PASS Sportsman take a break until Sunday June 3rd when all three PASS North touring divisions visit Riverside Speedway in Groveton New Hampshire.

Clark Claims his third PASS 300 at Beech Ridge

For Immediate Release: Media contact Norm Desjardins - racewithpass@yahoo.com

 

three in a row, seventh of 2011 for the defending series champion

 

SCARBOROUGH ME (9/18) Johnny Clark reclaimed the lead on lap 220 of Sunday's PASS North 300 presented by Southern Maine Motors.com at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway to earn his seventh win of 2011 and his third in the Pro All Stars Series (PASS)North's richest race. Scott Mulkern charged up through the pack to claim second and home track hero Trevor Sandborn raced home third.

 

Clark started deep in the pack but by lap 98 he was knocking on leader Donnie Whitten's door.Two laps later he was in control. Clark lost the lead to Lonnie Sommerville for several laps but the five time PASS North champ reclaimed the point and kept it until lap 191 when Seekonk regular Tom Scully Jr. took over. Clark's rubber was worn out, but he got the break he needed when the yellow flew on lap 216.. Rubbered up and race ready, Clark took the lead from Brad Babb ten laps later and was never headed, leading the final seventy four laps despite the best efforts of  both Mulkern and Sanborn.

 

Clark's win was worth $10,000.00 plus the majority of the lap leader bonuses. His margin of victory was .362 seconds. Eleven of the thirty three starters completed all 300 green flag laps in a race that took just over two hours to complete.

 

Beech Ridge regulars fared well in the 300 with Sanborn third, Dan McKeage 5th and Aaron Ricker 9th. Brad Babb spent some time in the lead before eventually finishing 12th. Bill Rogers ran up front early before settling for 13th at the checkers.

 

DJ Shaw, Cassius Clark and Travis Benjamin each won a qualifier. Consolation rounds went to Kelly Moore, Aaron Ricker and Johnny Clark.

 

The PASS 300 was round four of the six race 2011 PASS National Championship Series, and neither title contenders had a good day. National point leader Ben Rowe finished three laps down in 18th but his nearest challenger, Jay Fogleman was 23rd 26 laps down after encountering mechanical problems shortly after the start.

 

Both the PASS North and PASS National Championship series move on to North Woodstock's White Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday September 24. Post time is 6:00 PM.

PASS North double header up next

Beech Ridge, Lee USA host the PASS traveling road show on Saturday,Tuesday

 

Naples ME (7/6) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North schedule always heats up in July, and this week's double dose of Super Late Model racing is a must see for fans of the fastest full fender race cars in the east.

 

Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Maine anchors the northern series and both the Super Late Models and Mods will be back on track at the Ridge this Saturday July 9 for the Southern Maine Motors.com 150.

 

Beech Ridge always brings out a packed field and the entry list already has a number of new or returning entries. Kellyyy Moore, Scott Mulkern, Bill Penfold, Ricky Morse, JT Thurlow and DJ Shaw will be racing with PASS, challenging the regulars for Beech Ridge supremacy. All the PASS North point contenders are expected to be in action, including a number of Beech Ridge Pro Series regulars.. Beech Ridge weekly racer Bill Rodgers stole the touring racer's thunder in the 2010 edition of this event, winning one for the home team.

 

The PASS Mod squad will be looking to end Andy Shaw's three race 2011 win streak; The Mods will go 40 laps at the Scarborough oval and their segment of the show is always exciting. Racing gets the green at 6:00 PM. The Beech Ridge Sport Series, Wildcat and Road Runner divisions complete the card.

 

The turn around for both divisions will be a quick one as they will all be back on track Tuesday July 12 for their annual trip to Lee USA Speedway. The third annual addition of the PASS Bastille 200 features all three PASS touring series, and the home track heroes always look forward challenging the touring PASS Sportsman drivers.

 

Mike Rowe and Johnny Clark battled it out in the 2010 edition of the PASS Bastille 200 with Rowe prevailing in the closing laps to win one of the season's most exciting races.

 

It's a great night of racing at Red and Judy MacDonald s beautiful Route 125 facility. Qualifying rounds kick off at 7:00 PM.

 

Ben Rowe's victory at Canaan Fair Speedway allowed the Turner Maine speed merchant to open up a twelve point gap over defending champion Johnny Clark, but its not a comfortable margin by any means. The month of July will go a long way to deciding the 2011 title, and there's a lot of great racing ahead for racers and fans alike.

For more information, visit www.JoeyDoiron.com or email TbarrettGWC@hotmail.com

 

 

 

Joey Doiron: PASS North Series

Beech Ridge Motor Speedway Race Preview

 

 

 

THE STORY

 

Joey Doiron aims to collect his first career PASS North Series win when the series opens the 2011 season with the PASS 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine, on Saturday, April 30. Doiron won the 2010 Rookie of the Year award in the series, a march he started with a career-best finish of fourth in this very race. Doiron started his racing career at Beech Ridge and considers it his home track. Doiron is coming off a DNF at “The Race” at North Wilkesboro Motor Speedway earlier this month after a blown tire ended his day prematurely.

 

THE FACTS

 

WHO: Joey Doiron, Berwick, Maine

TEAM: No. 73 JBJ Machine/Dale Shaw Race Cars Chevrolet

CREW CHIEF: John Doiron, Berwick, Maine

 

BEST CAREER BEECH RIDGE MOTOR SPEEDWAY FINISH: 4th (May 2010)

LAST RACE AT BEECH RIDGE MOTOR SPEEDWAY: 23rd (September 2010)

 

WHAT: PASS North Series PASS 150

WHERE: Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, Scarborough, Maine (.333-mile oval)

WHEN: 3 p.m., Saturday, April 30

 

PASS North Series

NEXT RACE: May 14, PASS 150, Star Speedway, Epping, N.H. (.25-mile oval)

FINAL 2010 POINTS POSITION: 9th (Rookie of the Year)

 

 

 

DID YOU KNOW?

 

  • Joey Doiron started on the outside pole for the most prestigious race of the PASS North Series season, the PASS 300 at Beech Ridge, last September.
  • As a rookie in the Sport Series division at Beech Ridge, Joey Doiron won a feature event and finished fourth in the final point standings.
  • Last season, almost every track on the PASS North Series schedule was a first-time visit for Joey Doiron.

 

 

 

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

 

JOEY DOIRON, Driver of the No. 73 JBJ Machine/Dale Shaw Race Cars Chevrolet, On his chances at Beech Ridge this weekend: “It's Beech Ridge, so I'm always gald to go there. Every time we've been there with PASS, we feel like we've been a winning car through practice and even for most of the race. Something always seems to happen to us.

 

“Hopefully, the luck has to turn around after (The Race at North Wilkesboro). To turn it around with a win would be awesome, or even a Top-5 finish. I'd be more than happy to start the season the way I did last year.”

 

On the racing at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway: “You just can't abuse your stuff too early. I really think the key the last couple of years has been whoever can ride around and stay out of trouble and then be able to paint the (inside) line in the last 50 laps of the race. It doesn't matter if you're a half-second faster than everybody else, if you can't pass on the bottom at the end when everybody starts sliding up to the top of the track, you're not going to be very good.

 

“The track is its own animal. A lot of people consider it like Oxford, but I always think we have a chance to win at Beech Ridge, and at Oxford, usually I can't get out of my own way. So I don't know what it is there.”

 

On his goals for his sophomore season: “I definitely think we can win a race this year. We just need some luck. We put ourselves in position to do it a couple of times last year it seemed, but we just couldn't seem to catch a break when we needed it.

 

“If we can get a win, we can build on that. Hopefully, then we'll pick up another one after that. I think if we can run competitively at the tracks where we think we can, the points will take care of themselves.”

 

 

UP NEXT

 

The PASS North Series heads to the second race of the season on the smallest track, the PASS 150 at the quarter-mile Star Speedway in Epping, N.H., on Saturday, May 14... Joey Doiron has never competed in a Super Late Model at Star Speedway, but he post a Top-10 finish with a 9th-place run at the high-banked quarter-mile of White Mountain Motorsports Park last season.

Pro All Stars Series news - PASS 400 weekend - Sautrday race report

Vaughn, Dow and Beaulieu Claim Saturday PASS 400 Weekend wins

Scarborough ME (9/11) Day three of PASS 400 weekend was highlighted by qualifying for all three PASS North touring divisions plus features for the Legends, Road Runners and Wildcats.

144 race cars rolled through the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway back gate and from the first green to the final checker the fans in the stands witnessed short track racing at its finest.

 

Tom Scully Jr., Joey Doiron, David Oliver and PASS Super Late Model point leader Johnny Clark all claimed their qualifiers.  Super Late Model consolation rounds went to PASS National Series point leader Preston Peltier and 2009 PASS North Rookie of the Year Nick Ribbe. Sunday’s Last Chance race will determine the final qualifiers for the 300 lap, $10,000 to win PASS 300.

Heat race wins for Sunday’s PASS Sportsman 100 went to Grant Aither, Jay Sands and Craig Smith Sumner Sessions and John Brill came out on top of the PASS Mod heats. The Mods will run a 50 lap feature Sunday and a new PASS Mod Champion will be crowned.

With PASS qualifying complete it was feature time for the Road Runners and the field made quick work of their show with just one lap nineteen caution to mar the 25 lapper. Matt Dow captured the win over Shawn Brackett, David Turner, Tasha Dyer and Donnie Dinsmore.

A twenty two car Legends field ran a 50 lap Nationals qualifier and when the dust cleared it was Evan Beaulieu in victory lane.

Seventy five laps for the Wildcats wrapped up the day’s racing with Mike Short leading the thirty two car field to the green. Short jumped out front from the pole but a miscue sent him back through the field and Nate Leavitt took over the point. Leavitt, Keith Stewart and David Vaughn broke away from the pack at the halfway mark and the trio ran nose to tail until ten to go when Stewart experienced troubles and Vaughn went on by for second.  The caution flew with two circuits remaining, setting up a green-white-checker with Leavitt on the inside and Vaughn on the high side. The pair raced side by side to the white flag, but Vaughn snatched the top spot from Leavitt coming off turn two to claim the win. Leavitt, Steve Benicasa, Louie Anderson and Matt Dow came home second through tenth.

On Sunday the feature racing goes green at 12:15 PM sharp with  the PASS North super late model  last chance qualifier, qualifying and a 50 lap feature for the North East Mini Stock Tour, 100 laps for the PASS Sportsman and the big one, the sixth annual PASS 300.

Pro All Stars Series news - PASS North SLM/Mod Beech Ridge race report

For immediate release: media, contact Norm Desjardins @ (603) 387-5598

 

Rogers rocks PASS regulars at Beech Ridge - Shaw claims PASS Mod win

NAPLES ME (7/18) Beech Ridge  Pro Series racer Bill Rogers  took advantage of a green-white-checker finish to beat Trevor Sanborn  in  Saturday night’s PASS 150 at  Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway . Cassius Clark, Scott Mulkern and Johnny Clark chased Rogers and Sanborn to the checkers.

 

Rogers didn’t luck into the win by any means. The Old Orchard Beach racer was fast throughout the night. He took the lead from Scott Chubbuck on lap five and held the spot until Trevor Sanborn took over on lap thirty nine. At the half-way mark it was Sanborn, Rogers, Chubbuck, Scott Mulkern and Cassius Clark leading the way.

Rodgers took back the top spot on a lap 83 restart and stayed there until Sanborn returned the favor when the field went back to green after a lap 118 caution. It looked like Sanborn was in a position to finally claim a PASS North feature win; Rogers was right on his bumper though and Mulkern, Chubbuck and a resurgent Mike Rowe were all battling for position.  Rowe’s night ended early with a disqualification after Chubbuck went around off of Rowe’s front bumper to bring out another caution at lap 132.

Sanborn was in control on the restart and Cassius Clark briefly held second until Rogers came roaring back two laps later. The night’s final caution set up a green-white-checker finish and Rogers now had the preferred outside groove. Rogers took full advantage of his final shot at Sanborn, motoring around the outside to score a very popular home track victory.

A number of drivers had good runs going, only to see accidents spoil their night. Adam Bates, Dave Oliver and Aaron Ricker all ended their race on the hook after a wreck on lap 116, while Scott Chubbuck ran fourth prior to his contact with Mike Rowe. Chubbuck salvaged a tenth place finish.

Roger’s margin of victory was .304 seconds; fourteen cars completed all 150 green flag laps. Heat race wins went to Adam Bates, Scott Chubbuck and Scott Mulkern.

The PASS Mods were in town for a 40 lap feature and Andy Shaw became the first repeat winner of the 2010 season, capturing a hard fought win over Jon Brill. Wayne Whitten finished third with Alan Wilson fourth.  Mike Mayberry had a successful  Mod series debut, starting thirteenth and finishing fifth.

Shaw started shotgun on the fourteen car field but he was in second by the half way mark, ready to battle Brill for the win. The pair raced nose to tail lap after lap until Shaw powered around Brill on the outside for the lead with seven laps remaining.   

PASS North hosts round three of the 2010 PASS National Championship series on Thursday evening at Thompson (CT) International Speedway on Thursday July 22nd.   The PASS Mods get back on track Saturday July 24 at Canaan (NH) Fair Speedway.

Pro All Stars Series news: PASS North Beech Ridge preview

For Immediate release: Media contact Norm Desjardins @ (603) 387-5598

Beech Ridge a key stop in the heart of the 2010 PASS North schedule

NAPLES ME (7/7/10) Mother Nature has turned up the thermostat and so has the Pro All Stars Series as the toughest month of the super late model schedule moves on to  Scarborough Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday July 10. Beech Ridge is the second stop of a five race month for the super late models and it’s likely that many teams will measure thei seasons’  success based on their results in July.

 

The family focused oval produces some of the closest racing around and the Beech  Ridge Pro Series regulars that often come out to challenge the touring teams are always competitive. 2009 track champion Mike Rowe, Aaron Ricker, Chuck Colby, and a whole lot more are well capable of running up front. Former PASS North regular Mike Rowe whipped up on the field in the series’ first 2010 appearance at the immaculate Holmes Road oval. The 2006 PASS South Champion came from 28th in the field to deny Adam Bates and Ben Rowe the Sunoco checkered flag

Adam Bates’ last PASS super late model win came in the 2009 edition of this event, and the Warner New Hampshire speedster is hungry for another. The team looked good at Beech Ridge in the spring, and they are coming off a top five at Canaan Fair Speedway over the holiday weekend.

Ben Rowe earned his first win of 2010 at Canaan Fair and his team will be looking to get a win streak of their own started, after denying Johnny Clark a record breaking four straight PASS North SLM victories. Richie Dearborn earned a podium finish last weekend, and the Dick and Deb Dearborn owned team will try to build on that momentum at Beech Ridge. Rookie point leader Joey Doiron has to be ready to get back to familiar territory Saturday night; Doiron crossed the stripe fourth at Beech Ridge in the spring, his best result to date. Donnie Whitten has been coming on strong in recent weeks with top tens at Unity, Speedway 660 and Canaan.

PASS fans have to be wondering when Trevor Sanborn will finally earn a PASS North win. He’s led a pile of laps but hasn’t been able to seal the deal for Richard Moody’s team, even though they’ve scored twice in PASS South competition.

There are plenty of other potential winners. Johnny Clark wants to score at a track that he readily admits isn’t one of his best. Clark earned his first feature win  at White Mountain Motorsports Park in May  after many years of trying. He will  try to duplicate that feat at Beech Ridge.

The PASS Mods are slated for a 40 lap feature Saturday night.  Chris Staples won the season opener with Wayne Whitten Jr. and Jon Brill hot on his heats. The speedway’s own Sport Series, Wildcats and Road Runners will all be in action. Post time on Saturday July 10 is 6:00 PM.

Tuesday July 13th the PASS super late models are joined by the PASS Mod and Sportsman series at Lee (NH) USA Speedway, then its a trip to southern New England for round three of the five race PASS National Championship series for the super late models on Thursday night July 22nd at Thompson (CT) Speedway. On Saturday July 31 Summerfest 2010 at Groveton New Hampshire’s Riverside Speedway will round  out the month’s schedule for both the super late models and the Mod squad.
