Darren
Miller Completes Grueling Race Weekend
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
April 23, 2007, 2007
(CHADWICK, IL) - Darren Miller
and the 32D team competed at two events over the past weekend.
Traveling first to Lowes Dirt Track - Concord (NC) for the “2nd
Annual Circle K Colossal”, Miller qualified well and started fourth in
his heat race Friday night. Unfortunately
Miller was caught up in an early heat race incident when a car spun in
front of him and rolled down track into the racing groove.
Miller was forced to take evasive action into the wet infield,
where the car skated, striking an implement tire and sustaining
major front-end damage.
Quickly assessing the damage to
the racecar, Miller made the decision to make the 16-plus hour return
drive to West Liberty (IA) to compete Saturday night at the WDRL event
at West Liberty Speedway. Arriving
in Iowa Saturday after an all night drive, the team made extensive
repairs to the car, but the damage was more severe than expected and
relegated Miller to a 22nd place feature finish in Saturday
night’s event.
“We knew that being scheduled
to start deep in the C-Main on Saturday combined with the damage the car
received put us in a deep hole at the Colossal” Miller said.
“We made the decision to head to West. Liberty and check the
car out. Once there, we
adjusted on the car all night and were able to get the thing in the
feature, but the car was hurt worse than we originally thought.
I just want to thank all of our fans, friends and family for
their support. It ended up
being a pretty long weekend, but you know when you race seventy or
eighty nights a year like we do, these things will happen.
It’s all part of the job. We’ll continue to work this week
and be race ready for the next events on the schedule.”
