TUCSON, AZ – Darrell Midgley dominated the beginning of the Super Late Model race in Arizona Saturday night but had to settle for eighth when the checkered flag flew. “We qualified well (2nd) for this race which put us in good track position at the start.” On Lap 6 of the inaugural Turkey Shoot 125, the lone Canadian Super Late Model driver in the field, took over the race lead. By lap 15, Midgley and his Northern Provincial Pipelines #81 Dodge had built up a six-second lead. That commanding lead would disappear on Lap 25 when the caution flag flew for a two-car spin. The restart would see the Sidney, British Columbia driver lead the field at Tucson Speedway once again. “We had a really good car tonight. It’s just unfortunate about the flat tire.” Approaching Lap 55, Midgley’s car developed a strong vibration. “We picked up something on the track,” sighs the veteran pavement racer, “I had a tire going down and I knew we weren’t going to be out front for much longer.”

Midgley was forced to slow due to his tire issue. He relinquished the lead just a few laps later. “I had to ride around (the track) and hope for a yellow.” That yellow flag finally flew some 20 laps later for another spin. “We came to the pits and changed two tires.” Midgley spent the rest of the race fighting back to regain lost track position thanks to the pit stop and tire change. Midgley eventually climbed back into the Top 10 with less than 25 laps to go. “The car was really fast. We absolutely had a winning car here tonight. We’ll take that eight.” Dustin Ash of Las Vegas, Nevada was the race winner. For Darrell Midgley and his team, the race in Tuscon, Arizona was the final event of the 2015 season. The 2015 NPP Late Model Series Champion is back in Arizona February 12/13, 2016 for the third-annual $10,000 to win Chilly Willy 150 at Tucson Speedway.
