UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WENATCHEE, WA. – Coming off a third place finish at the 2015 Spring Classic at California’s Irwindale Speedway earlier this month, Darrell Midgley hopes to carry the momentum into Washington State this weekend. The Sidney, British Columbia driver figures he left a lot on the table at last year’s spring race at the Wenatchee Super Oval. “I know we had a top-five car here,” exclaims Midgley, “unfortunately things just did not go our way. We were in the top-ten in practice speeds but then went out and qualified 20th. We dug ourselves a hole early [at last year’s race] and then could not get out of it.”

Midgley was credited with an 18th place finish in his Northern Provincial Pipelines/Alien Chassis #81 Dodge. “We hope to redeem ourselves here this weekend.” The season opening weekend for Wenatchee Super Oval features the Leonard Evans Memorial 200 race on Sunday, April 26th. “The big day is Sunday but we are going to take advantage of several practice sessions on Friday and Saturday.” Wenatchee Super Oval is one of the tracks in the Tri-Track Super Late Model Series circuit. Ironically the Tri-Track Series will be competed at five venues in 2015. Yakima Speedway (Yakima, Washington), Evergreen Speedway (Monroe, Washington), Spokane County Super Oval (Spokane, Washington) and Stateline Speedway (Post Falls, Idaho) will also host TTS events in 2015. The 2015 season opener of the Northern Provincial Pipelines Late Model Series is May 23rd at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta.
