Joel Doiron Battles to an 11th Place Finish After Tough Night at Cornwall

After scoring a third place finish last week at Cornwall Speedway, Joel Doiron and his team were looking forward to getting back to the track this week, hoping for an event better result. With the weather finally starting to turn for the better, the team also hoped that the track conditions would be improved greatly from the previous races this year.

The night started off with a second place finish in the qualifying heat race after starting from the fourth position. After some adjustments to the car, Joel hit the track for the 30 lap main event, rolling off the starting grid from the eighth position on the outside of the fourth row. Doiron received some damage in a lap nine incident that brought out the red flag, and had to make a pit stop for some quick repairs before returning to the track for the restart. When the race resumed, Doiron drove his wounded car to an 11th place finish.

“It was another frustrating night here at Cornwall”, says Doiron after the race. “We had some damage there after that wreck early in the race, and just missed the top ten. We will be back next week and hopefully it will be a better night”.

Doiron and his team will return to Cornwall Speedway again this Sunday night looking for their first win of the 2013 season.
