Joe Doiron cashes in at Ace, wins the Lightnin' Fast 100! - By Charli Brown

Joe Doiron held off Chris Rogers to win his first Whelen Modified Online Tour event at the Lightnin' Fast 100 at Ace Speedway, Thursday night.

Altamahaw, NC - Berwick, Maine's Joe Doiron took advantage of an early race pit stop and held off Chris Rogers to win the Lightnin' Fast 100 Thursday night at the Ace Speedway.

Chris O'Shell took home his second NPGPro.com Pole Award of the year with a lap time of 15.215 seconds at 94.643 Miles Per Hour. Chris Rogers was second fastest followed by Charli Brown, Joe Doiron and Mike Whiting.

At the drop of the green flag, Chris O'Shell led the field to turn one and traded the race lead with Charli Brown through a series of early restarts. There were several early cautions due to the tight confines of the 4/10ths mile oval's tight corners and high-speed straightaways.

O'Shell's silver TRD Toyota Camry was the dominant car as he led to the KING Design Halfway Leader Award on lap 50 over Chris Rogers, Charli Brown, Zach Truesdail and Tony Hanbury. Sixth through tenth were Keith Joseph, Dennis Frates, Joe Doiron, Rex Hoyle and Richie Coy.

Twenty laps later, the final lead change of the night occurred under caution at lap 70 as Chris O'Shell headed to pit road for service and handed the lead to Joe Doiron. Doiron had pitted earlier in the event on lap 26 and had worked his way back to the front.

O'Shell rejoined the field in 11th spot for the restart on lap 74 but could only work his way back to the sixth spot as he raced with Zach Truesdail and a hard charging Tony Hanbury.

Joe Doiron led the field under the double Sunoco checkered flags to win by four car lengths over Chris Rogers, Keith Joseph, Rex Hoyle and Richie Coy. Sixth through tenth were Zach Truesdail, Chris O'Shell, Tony Hanbury, AJ Griffin and Mike House.

In Victory Lane, Doiron cashed in on the Mach-1 Performance bounty that Richie Coy and his sponsors put up for any driver that could beat him. Doiron quickly donated it back to the pot to keep the excitement going amongst the competitors.

"This was a tough little race track and it wasn't easy getting back to the front,” explained Joe Doiron in Victory Lane. "I want to thank Richie and Mach-1 for doing this bounty idea, but all of us have been talking about it and I don't want to be the bad guy and spoil it by taking it the first week they've offered it" he laughed.

Richie Coy earned the Powerade "Power Move of the Race" Award for his drive to the fifth position from his eighteenth starting spot while Chris O'Shell took home a majority of the post race awards including the Featherlite "Most Improved Driver," The Fastech Race Car Bodies "Fastest Lap of the Race" and the Mends Image "Most Laps Led" Award. Charli Brown received the Hoosier "Hard Luck" Award.

Next week, the Whelen Modified Online Tour returns to the historic Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Greenville, South Carolina for the Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet 100. Current Whelen Modified Online Tour point leader Richie Coy is the race's defending winner and holds a slim 25-point lead over Joe Doiron, Zach Truesdail, Tony Hanbury and Rex Hoyle.
