"Show-Me
100" Up Next For Darren Miller Racing
May 22, 2005
(CHADWICK, IL) - Darren Miller and
the 32D team will be hard at work the next few days in the race-shop
performing maintenance and preparing for the upcoming "Show-Me
100" event to be held at West Plains Motor Speedway May 26-28th.
"We've had a couple of hard
nights racing over the weekend" stated Miller from his shop.
"Friday night we made adjustments to the car for the feature at the
Farley (IA) Lucas Oil Late Model Series race that worked out really well. At
the start we were able to get going and moved forward pretty quickly. I
think we moved from 16th starting spot to 6th in just a few laps.
Unfortunately, the track was so rough the right front corner of the nose and
bumper caught one of the deep ruts and began dragging the ground. That
killed our move forward. After that we packed the left rear wheel with mud and
tore a caliper cross-over brake line off., which put us out for the
night."
Darren went on to say,
"Saturdays Lucas Oil race at LaSalle (IL) Speedway kind of went the
other way. The track was smooth but we made an adjustment for that race that
didn't quite work out and we ended up finishing twelfth. But we'll put the
weekend behind us and concentrate this week on preparing for the
"Show-Me". Everyone's really looking forward to this years event.
We're going to give the equipment a good look over and maintenance program
and make sure everything is ok after the weekend."
Darren and the 32D team raced Friday
night, May 20th at Farley Speedway, Farley (IA) in a Lucas Oil Late Model
Series event. Qualifying 13th and finishing 6th in his heat, Darren lined up
for the feature in the 16th starting position. On the move quickly, Darren
advanced from 16th to 6th place before dropping out of the race early,
experiencing mechanical failure with a broken brake caliper line. He was one
of 14 cars to retire early from the 24 car field.
Saturday nights action at LaSalle
Speedway, LaSalle (IL) in another Lucas Oil Late Model Series event saw
Darren qualify 13th and finish 2nd in his heat, but slip from his 5th place
feature starting position to eventually finish 12th.
