Joel Doiron’s Top Five Finish Puts Him at the Top of the Standings at Cornwall Motor Speedway With One Month Remaining in 2012 Season

After posting his eighth straight top ten finish at Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday night, Joel Doiron and his Alexandria, Ontario based 358 Modified team have moved to the top of the standings as they battle for the coveted championship with just one more month remaining in the 2012 season. Doiron and one other competitor are tied for first place overall. Although he is still looking for that first win of the year, Doiron has been very consistent, and that is the key to the team’s success as the attempt to win the Cornwall title for the first time since the 2002 season.

Doiron started the night off well at Cornwall on Sunday night, picking up the win in his qualifying heat race after starting from outside the front row. In the 30 lap main event, he started from seventh place, and drove a solid race, moving up the leaderboard steadily. He ended the night with a strong third place finish.

“The car was pretty good tonight”, we just need to be a little better to contend for the win”, says Doiron. “It was a great points day for us, so we will take it and move on to next week”.

This coming week will be a 100 lap Canadian National Series event at Cornwall Motor Speedway. This is round two of the series, and Joel will be looking to improve on his 12th place finish in the last series race back on opening night at Cornwall.

Joel Doiron Battles to a Hard Fought Top Ten Finish at Cornwall Speedway

It definitely has been a consistent season for Joel Doiron and his Alexandria, Ontario team, and consistency is a very key ingredient in the chase for the championship, but Doiron cant help but want a little more as he strives to get back to victory lane at Cornwall Speedway for the first time since taking the feature almost one year to the day.

The qualifying heat race didn’t go as planned for Joel, struggling to find his groove early. A flat tire early in the race sent Doiron to the pits, but after a quick pit stop, he was able to return to the track and rebound for a third place finish. In the 30 lap main event, Joel started the race from eighth place, and was making his way through the field early in the race. By lap nine, Doiron was inside the top five, but fell to sixth as the race approached halfway. In the closing laps, the handling on the car started to go away, and Doiron would fall back to finish ninth.

“It wasn’t the kind of run that we were looking for tonight”, says Doiron. “We really struggled in the second half of the race. We will keep working at it though, and hopefully we can get a win soon”.

This coming week, Joel will be back at Cornwall Motor Speedway as the Modified share the spotlight with the World of Outlaw Sprint Cars as they make the inaugural appearance at Cornwall.

As we enter the final weekend of July, Doiron currently sits third in points at Cornwall Speedway, only 14 points out of first in the battle for the coveted Modified championship.

Joel Doiron Gets Impressive Top Ten Finish at Cornwall Speedway Big Block Super DIRTcar Series Race

With the Big Block Modifieds in action at Cornwall on Sunday, Joel Doiron was hoping for a strong run, using the experience at his home track to his advantage against the more powerful Big Blocks.

Doiron got off to a slow start at Cornwall, failing to make the field through the qualifying heats, and having to come from the consolation race to make the 100 lap main event. Starting from 21st, Joel had a long way to go, but as the laps counted down, Doiron was getting faster. At lap 40 he was inside the top ten, and continued to advance his position over the next several laps. With 60 laps complete, he was up to eighth, and maintained that spot through the remaining laps.

“It was tough out there tonight”, says Doiron after the race. “These Big Block Modified guys are fun to race with. “We did well after starting so far back in the field. It would have been nice to have a better starting spot, but we worked hard, and got the best finish that we could”.

This coming week, Doiron will be back at Cornwall as regular racing resumes. He currently is second in track points at Cornwall, only 18 points out of the top spot.

“We really want to get that championship this year”, says Doiron. “We know its going to be challenging, and it will come right down to the final week, but that is our goal from this season right from the beginning, and I know we have the equipment and the team to do it”.
