Chadwick's Darren Miller Racing Ceases Racing Operations

Darren Miller announced Thursday that he will be suspending all racing operations and is discontinuing Darren Miller Racing, effective immediately, and has decided to look for other opportunities for 2009.

Speaking from his shop in Chadwick, Darren said, "I really want to thank all my fans, and everyone who has supported us over the years. Obviously, this hasn't been an easy decision to make. I really love racing, and many of the drivers, crew members, and fans have became a big part of our family. I've dedicated the last 12 years to my racing career. But, without the financial backing that it takes to run a race team I've decided to sell out. I'm open to opportunities that may arise, but right now, don't really know anything more than we won't be attending the next races that were listed on my schedule, and I wanted to let my fans know of the change."

Miller, was the 2008 winner of the prestigious "North/South ­100," a 2008 Lucas Oil Dirt Late Models feature winner, a 2008 three time Summer nationals winner, and multiple WDRL event winner. His latest victory came February 9 at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville FL where he won a 2009 Speedweek UMP feature event.

Miller would also like to thank all of his sponsors and his race team for their support. He would especially like to thank his dad who spent many hours in the shop and on the road with him.

The team has placed its transporter, race cars, and other equipment for sale. A complete listing will be posted on Darren's website, www.darrenmillerracing.com, soon. In the meantime, interested parties are encouraged to contact Darren directly at (815)-499-8575.
