He started 14th in a Kenny Childers Chevy at Martinsville and finished 28th after falling out early due to overheating.  In 1981, Lindley made three starts in his own car, the #26 Chevy. Lindley, however, struggled in all of them and did not finish any races. His best run was a 24th at North Wilkesboro, however he qualified 4th at Martinsville.  In 1982, Lindley made four more starts, and continued to struggle, only finishing one of them. Driving the #01 Emanuel Zervakis Buick, Lindley started 14th at Martinsville. Lindley dominated the middle portion of the race, leading the most laps of his career (163). However, he had to settle for second, losing to Harry Gant.  Lindley had greater success in very limited Xfinity Series starts. He ran half of the 1982 schedule for Zervakis. In fourteen starts, Lindley won four of them. The first came at Richmond, then was followed by a pair of wins at South Boston Speedway and the season finale at Martinsville. In addition, Lindley finished in the top-5 nine times and had an additional top-10.

Lindley was racing on April 13, 1985 at the DeSoto Speedway in Bradenton, Florida.  Lindley was
