Hines and the Chasers
Tracy Hines heads to Perris Auto Speedway with his Yellow #24 Parker Toyota holding a slender point’s lead over Kevin Thomas Jr as they run the final show for 2015, the 75thTurkey Night Grand Prix.
Hines’s chaser will be headed by the all powerful Keith Kunz/Toyota team of Kevin Thomas, Tanner Thorson, Rico Abreu, 2014 Turkey Night defending Champion Christopher Bell and Young Money himself Kyle Larson, all determined to make Hines night as difficult as possible

.Hines will be gunning for his first USAC/National Midget Championship and if he can secure the Title he will become only the sixth driver to win the USAC Triple Crown, Midget,Sprintcar and Silver Crown USAC Titles .Hines would join Pancho Carter,Dave Darland,Tony Stewart,JJYeley and Jerry Coons Jr on the USAC honor board .
Hines has a 27 point lead locked away safely in his pocket over Thomas Jr with Thorson 33 back and Abreu the defending USAC Champion 56 points adrift of Hines

.
The Turkey Night Grand Prix has 74 points on offer and the danger to Hines success does not stop with the Kunz chasers. Bryan Clauson fresh from wins in the Leffler Memorial and the Western World show will have the PKR Dooling ready to challenge

. Heading back into US racing after a short but brief stink down under with the Speedcar Pro Week Darren Hagen, Austin Brown and Tyler Thomas will fancy their chances of spring an upset.

Joining the regular midget drivers for Turkey night 2015 will be 2014 USAC/AMSOIL/Sprint Champ Brady Bacon, World Outlaw regular Brad Sweet and former USAC National Midget and National Sprint Rookie of the year and NASCAR Xfinity and Truck series competitor Chad Boat.
To be a fly on the wall during the Kunz Team pre race discussion would be price less, what would the team orders be if any .One thing will be clear put as much pressure on Hines as possible and all five to finish ahead of the yellow #24. For Hines he needs to finish and collect as many points as possible, he cannot afford to crash out
Eight-time “Turkey Night Grand Prix” winner Ron Shuman serves as the Grand Marshal for this year’s annual Midget racing classic at Perris (Calif.) Auto Speedway.
