Joel Doiron Gets Top Five Finish at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday Night

With the 2013 season dwindling down, Joel Doiron and his race team have been searching for some good luck. The 2013 season has been one of frustration, but the team is looking to end the year at their home track on a positive note. Doiron was back in action at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and back to their usual weekly home at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.

On Friday night at Mohawk Raceway, Doiron had problems early and was unable to make the call for his ten lap qualifying heat race. This put him at the rear of the 20 car field for the 25 lap main event later in the evening. Joel made some progress throughout the race, and ultimately ended with an 11th place result.

The action continued at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night, and Joel and the team were looking to finally put an end to some of the bad luck that has affected the team much of the season. After starting fourth in his qualifying heat race, Doiron moved up to third place before the checkered flag in the 10 lap event. The team made some adjustments to the car for the 30 lap feature, and lined up on the inside of row three in the fifth starting spot. Doiron remained in the top five throughout the race, racing his way to third at one point before settling in to a fourth place finish.

“It was a good run for us tonight. After the last couple weeks that is all we really wanted was a solid night and bring the car home in one piece”, explains Doiron after the race. “Hopefully we get back here in a couple weeks we can have a solid run in the Canadian Nationals race, and end the year on a positive note”.

Doiron plans to race at Mohawk International Raceway again this Friday night. Cornwall Speedway does not have the Modifieds on the schedule this week. They will return on Sunday, September 1st with a 125 lap Mr. DIRTcar Series/Canadian Nationals Series event.
