Brett Miller charges from 14th to 7th at Silver Dollar Speedway
By Gary Thomas
Chico, CA – May 5, 2008…So far this early season Chico’s Brett Miller has shown the ability to pass cars and he was on the charge once again this past Friday night at Silver Dollar Speedway by carving his way to seventh after starting in the 14th position. The fifth Feather Falls Casino point race at the Chico track was sponsored by Ashley Furniture and it featured a stacked field of 31 sprint cars, which saw a handful of Golden State Challenge Series regulars on hand.
In qualifying Miller cut a smooth first lap, but a slight bobble on the second one put the Care Free Pools, Platinum Powder Coating Maxim 21st quickest. The 18 year-old driver started from the pole in his heat race and fell into line second, before getting passed by former GSC and Silver Dollar Speedway champs Tim Kaeding and Jonathan Allard. Miller remained composed though and drove the final few laps solidly in fourth to transfer into the main event.
The 25 lap feature saw the “Catfish” line-up outside the seventh row and he was on the march right from the get go. He immediately blew by several cars and spent much of the race trying hard to get by Mason Moore for sixth. Miller stayed close to Moore but couldn’t get by and crossed the line in seventh to score his third seventh place finish in the Feather Falls Casino point season.
