Joel Doiron Remains in Championship Contention With Top Five Finish at Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday Night

With a top five finish last Sunday at Cornwall Motor Speedway, Joel Doiron and his race team are currently tied for second place in track points, and sit only 24 points out of the points lead in the battle for the coveted Cornwall Speedway championship. Doiron is a former champion at Cornwall, taking the top honors in 2002, and a decade later, he is hoping to get his second.

Doiron began the night at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday with a third place finish in his qualifying heat, after starting fifth. In the 30 lap main event, he rolled off the starting grid from inside the fifth row in ninth place. After a caution on lap two, Doiron began to move forward, and as the race approached halfway he was up to fifth place. He maintained that position for the duration of the race.

“The car was pretty good out there again tonight”, says Doiron after the race. “The competition is really tough out here, and there were a lot of good cars starting up front, so it makes it tough”.

This coming week, Doiron is hoping to return to Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and will be at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night looking to close the gap on the point leader.
