Doiron
Surges to
PASS 400
Victory in
Final
Segment
Joey Doiron
finished
just one
point ahead
of Max
Cookson
in the
overall
standings
for the PASS
400 to close
out the
2024 Pro All
Stars Series
season. |
by Zach Evans
of Racing
America |
The
PASS 400
came down to
the
narrowest of
margins at
Oxford
Plains
Speedway, as
Joey Doiron
won the
three-segment
event by one
point over
Max Cookson.
Despite
nursing a
broken foot,
Doiron
finished
third in the
final two
segments to
push ahead
of Cookson
in the final
scoring.
That
one-point
cushion
nearly
disappeared
on the final
lap, as
Doiron
finished
just 0.035
seconds
ahead of
Travis
Stearns in a
side-by-side
battle.
Cookson
entered the
final
segment with
a
seven-point
advantage
after
finishing
second and
fourth in
the first
two 100-lap
segments.
However, an
incident in
the final
segment put
Cookson deep
in the
field,
giving
Doiron the
opportunity
he needed to
take the
win.
"I knew we
were going
to need some
unfortunate
stuff to
happen to
Max for us
to have a
good shot at
it," said
Doiron.
"He's been
going good
all day.
"We kind
of put
ourselves in
a hole in
the first
segment. My
radio broke,
the battery
broke in
half when I
pulled on
the track.
Under the
first
caution, I
pitted, and
we had to
come from
last in the
first one. I
think we got
to 11th,
then third
[in the
second
segment]."
Doiron
had an
opportunity
to battle
for the win
in the final
segment, but
knew the
importance
of
protecting
his spot for
the overall
win.
"I don't
know, I feel
like I had a
chance to
win this
one, but the
09 [of Sylas
Ripley] was
using the
bottom
really good.
I couldn't
quite get in
there. I
knew I just
needed to
keep it in
one piece
and think
big picture
for the
overall."
Cookson
cut down a
tire after
being
collected in
a lap 83
incident in
the final
segment,
dropping him
from the
edge of the
top 10 to
20th. While
Cookson
rallied to a
12th place
finish in
the final
segment, he
needed two
more spots
to win the
overall PASS
400 title.
"Obviously,
to finish
second in
this race,
I'm real
happy about
that," said
Cookson. "It
is hard to
know how
good we were
in the first
segment, how
good we were
in the
second
segment, and
then the
third
segment,
just biding
our time. I
knew what
the gap was
to Joey and
we were fine
if it stayed
green there
or we didn't
get smashed
and blow a
tire, come
back out and
get smashed
again.
"So
close today,
but I can't
thank Tom
Abele, Sr.,
Tom Abele,
Jr., all my
guys today
for fighting
hard for one
last one. It
sucks to
come up so
short. I've
also got to
thank all my
sponsors on
my personal
race car for
sticking
with us this
year through
a trying
year. I was
glad to come
out today
and really
have a
really,
really good
race car.
"It
sucks, to
say the
least. We
can't hang
our head
overly too
much. It's
just one of
those things
where some
days you're
the
windshield
and some
days you're
the bug. We
were just a
little short
today, but
congrats to
Joey and his
whole team.
They've been
really good
here, just
missed the
[Oxford] 250
for the
sweep, so
congrats to
those guys.
Joey's great
to race
with, I've
got a lot of
respect for
him. It's a
great day
overall,
just tough."
Unofficially
finishing
seventh in
the overall
standings,
D.J. Shaw
wrapped up
the season
as both the
PASS North
and PASS
National
Super Late
Model
champion.
Shaw was the
runner-up in
the second
segment, but
missed out
on the top
10 in the
first and
third
segments.
Still, that
was enough
to secure
the
championships.
"It was
a great
season here
for us,"
said Shaw.
"The odds
were stacked
against us
today, and I
feel like we
surprised
ourselves a
little bit
with the run
we had. All
in all, it
was a great
rebound day,
good
recovery day
for us."
Austin
Teras
appeared
poised for a
dominant
showing when
the green
flag dropped
in Segment
One. Teras
jumped to
the lead
from the
front row
and lapped
up to the
top 10
before
losing power
and pulling
off the
track with
23 laps to
go.
Ripley, who
started on
the pole for
Segment One,
inherited
the lead
after Teras'
misfortune
and led the
rest of the
way to score
the first
victory of
the day.
2023 Oxford
Plains
Speedway
track
champion Max
Cookson
finished
second,
followed by
Travis
Stearns,
Steve
Chicoine and
Cory Hall.
The
25-car
invert
between
segments
placed
former ARCA
Menards
Series
champion
Austin
Theriault on
the pole for
Segment Two,
with Scott
Moore
joining him
on the front
row. Moore
jumped out
to the lead,
losing it
briefly to
Garrett Lamb
before
reclaiming
the top spot
on lap 11.
Moore,
along with
Mike
Hopkins,
broke away
from the
field as the
front-runners
from Segment
One charged
through
heavy
traffic.
Hopkins
finished
16th in the
first
segment but
worked his
way from
10th to
third within
the first
five laps of
the second
segment.
Hopkins
took the
lead from
Moore on lap
61 and
stretched
out a lead
of nearly
two seconds
before Cory
Hall spun on
the
frontstretch
to bring out
the caution.
On lap 88, a
multi-car
incident
collected
several
cars,
starting
with contact
with Ripley
and Scott
McDaniel
battling for
18th.
Hopkins
held on for
the win in
the second
segment on
the
following
restart,
with D.J.
Shaw second
and Joey
Doiron
third. With
a
fourth-place
finish in
segment two,
Cookson
moved into
the overall
lead for the
PASS 400.
Dan
Winter and
Mike
Scorzelli
started on
the front
row for the
final
100-lap
segment,
with
Scorzelli
using the
outside line
to pull out
front.
Meanwhile,
the
calculators
were already
out
determining
who was in
the lead for
the overall
title.
Ripley's
poor finish
in the
second
segment gave
him a
seventh-place
starting
position for
the final
race,
offering
prime track
position and
putting
drivers such
as Cookson,
Gabe Brown,
and Joey
Doiron on
the
offensive.
The
yellow flag
flew on lap
83 as Scott
McDaniel
spun while
checking up
after
contact
between
Ripley and
Stearns
battling for
second. Mike
Rowe
stumbled on
the restart,
allowing
Sylas Ripley
to jump out
front with
Trevor
Sanborn
moving to
second.
Nick
Jenkins also
spun to
bring out
the caution,
and in the
aftermath
following
that Corey
Bubar slid
up the track
into
Chicoine who
also
collected
Cookson.
Cookson cut
down a
left-front
tire as a
result,
dropping him
to 19th.
Sanborn
challenged
Ripley for
the overall
win on the
ensuing
restart,
with Doiron
and Stearns
closely
following.
The caution
flew again
with 10 laps
to go as
Scorzelli
and Dennis
Spencer spun
in turns one
and two.
In the
10-lap
shootout to
the finish,
Ripley held
on to score
his second
segment win
of the day,
while Doiron
held off
Stearns for
third. This
proved
pivotal as
Cookson had
raced his
way back up
to 12th in
the closing
laps despite
his own
misfortunes.
Sanborn
took fourth
place in the
overall
event
standings,
followed by
Stearns.
Brown, Shaw,
Bubar,
Johnny Clark
and Brandon
Barker
rounded out
the top 10. |
