(CHADWICK, IL) - Darren Miller and the 32D team returned to the their race shop in Chadwick (IL) yesterday after a successful four race swing through Wisconsin last week. The “Thriller” chalked up 1st, 2nd, and 5th place finishes in three completed races and is currently qualified for the outside front row of Cedar Lake Speedway’s re-scheduled night one of Masters, WDRL Pole Dash.
The week began on a high note Wednesday night, June 14th as Miller utilized a lap 17 re-start to move past Earl Pearson Jr. for the lead at Red Cedar Speedway, Menomonie (WI). Miller and Pearson charged through the field while maneuvering through lap traffic over the final thirty-three laps with Miller taking the checkers and the $5,000 WDRL win.
Thursday, June 15th, found Miller competing at Superior Speedway, Superior(WI).where he advanced from his ninth place starting position to finish a strong 2nd in the 50 lap caution free WDRL event.
Racing Friday night, June 16th, during night one of Cedar Lake Speedway’s “Masters”, Miller was scheduled for the front row outside starting
position in the Iowa/Illinois Taylor Insulation Pole Dash when rain ended the nights racing action. The race has been re-scheduled for Thursday August 3rd, the night before Cedar Lake’s $50,000 to win “USA Nationals”.
Saturday night, June 17th, Miller competed in night two of the Lucas Oil/WDRL co-sanctioned Cedar Lake Speedway’s “Masters” After winning his
heat race and drawing a number two starting position, Miller charged into the lead at the drop of the green flag in the feature event and led the first 15 laps before being passed by eventual race winner Ear Pearson Jr. Miller continued to race with Pearson over the next several laps before a successful charge to re-take the lead was negated by a caution. Hampered by a poor performing tire on the re-start, Miller went on to finish fifth behind Jimmy Mars, Donnie Moran, Brian Birkhofer, and race winner Earl Pearson Jr. The race was televised by SPEED CHANNEL with an air-date to be announced later.
“We’re pretty happy overall with our week” said Miller after the races, “Obviously we’re happy with the results from Wednesday and Thursday night. We had a great car tonight but I lost the heat in the right rear during that caution and it glazed over. When I gassed it up before the re-start I knew I was in trouble. When you’re running with guys like Earl Pearson Jr., Brian Birkhofer, Donnie Moran and Jimmy Mars, you’ve got to have everything right on. The track was in great condition, these guys here always see to that. We’re happy for a top five finish and we’ll head for home and probably hit a few Summernationals and WDRL races over the next few weeks.”
