Carrie
Miller Wins the Pro4 Truck Championship at Stockton 99 Speedway
Saratoga,
CA, September 29, 2003 -- It was 57 years in the making and,
it took Carrie Miller to do it; Carrie Miller of Saratoga
California has won the Pro4 Truck Championship at Stockton
99 Speedway in only her second year of full time racing. Carrie
is also one of the only women in the history of NASCAR to
win a division championship at any level at a NASCAR sanctioned
track.
On
her way to winning the Pro4 Truck championship, Carrie took
5 main event wins, 3 trophy dash wins and 6 fast (qualifying)
times.
Carrie
gives credit for her success to her crew (Crew Chief, John
Thompson and Ray Miller). “It is really exciting to win,
I think winning on the track lets you know that all the effort
off the track paid off. Ray and John spent uncountable hours
during the week preparing the truck for Saturday.”
The
winning effort has not been easy. The Miller Motorsports team
has gone though a number of 2.3 Liter Ford motors searching
for a high-powered combination that would hold together for
more than a single night. Never willing to give up, the guys
at Miller Motorsports went through eight motors reaching for
their brass ring. Carrie still talks about limping her truck
around the track on double points night for points. “It
is not fun being lapped every 4 circuits, but you have to
focus on points. You have to keep going.”
The
effort is not lost on the series director. Raymond Jones,
Pro 4 Truck Director, observed, “the season started off
a little rough for Carrie as her truck broke on double points
night early in the season and, she found herself down in the
points standings. Carrie and her team rebounded from their
early season troubles and…have 5 wins.”
Carrie
Miller and her team put out a maximum effort for the fans.
Jones is impressed. “Carrie has…established herself
as a fan favorite in only her first year at the speedway.
Carrie and her race team are hands down the kids choice as
their favorite with Carrie always having something for the
kids after the races.”
Carrie
Miller and Miller Motorsports efforts have been supported
all year by Metal-Craft, Alfi’s Auto Body, Pick n Pull,
Cell Stop Warehouse and, Millers Automotive. Miller Motorsports
is also supported by on and off the track by Clinton &
Ethel Miller and Michael & Kelly Drysdale.
Looking
forward to 2004, Miller Motorsports has already expanded their
team to two trucks and are beginning the development of a
new truck for Carrie Miller. The team has also begun an aggressive
sponsor campaign for 2004. Contact marketing@millermotorsportsonline.com
