TUCSON, AZ (October 21) – Darrell Midgley begins his ‘off-season’ race schedule in the Team NPP #81 Super Late Model this weekend in Arizona.  “Tucson is all we have on the schedule (this fall and winter) right now,” says the Sidney, British Columbia driver, “we might hit something on the way home (March, April) but it’s way too early to even talk about.”  The Team NPP race hauler will once again be stored in Tucson this winter.  “It’s really nice to be down here,” says Midgley, “we can do a bit of relaxing away from the track while we are here.”  Before Tucson Speedway, Midgley had two go-to tracks on his off-season list.   “We used to go to Eureka and Redding California every fall.  We ran there for years and had some success there too.  At one point we raced in Redding thirteen years in a row.  Logistically it’s a bit of a problem now.”  Midgley made his Tucson Speedway debut at the February 2015 Chilly Willy race (finished 22nd).  He would return to the Arizona desert nine months later and finish 8th in the Turkey Shoot race.  Since 2015 Midgley has had 20 starts at Tucson Speedway and has an average finish of 13.1.  Midgley picked up his best ever finish back in March of this year when he finished in 4th.  “We are definitely finding our groove.  We’ve had some really good runs.”  Midgley has led laps at several of Tucson Speedways bigger races.  “We’ve let a couple get away that we should have had.  We are competitive and I think our day will come.”
