Mitch Miller

#95

Mitch first noticed his love for speed and competition at the age of 29 while working on two of his friend’s four-cylinder race cars as pit crew.  He turned wrenches for 3 years on various drivers’ cars including Robbie Holmes (#97, 2003 Four-cylinder Track Champion, Winchester Speedway), Butch Mayo (#15m), and Paul Thornley (#79).  His willingness to help any driver in need has given him a great reputation at the track.

 

In 2006, Mitch started tossing around the idea of racing himself.  He finally got the money together to buy his first race car at the end of June.  He purchased a used 1999 GRT Late Model car from a gentleman in Rome, GA.  He drove 18 hours down to Georgia and back to Virginia in one day.  This explains the slogan “Spur of the Moment” on his spoiler.  Mitch’s very first race was July 1.  On his first night racing, the rookie driver received the Hard Charger Award.  This award is given to the car that moves forward the most during the race.  He started in 22^nd place and finished in 13^th place.  Mitch ran only six races for points at Winchester Speedway in 2006.  He finished the year in 27^th place amongst 39 other competitors. 

 

During 2007, Mitch started the year with a new scheme for the car that was revealed at the Winchester Speedway car show at the Harley-Davidson Dealership in March.  Mitch received his first top ten finish on May 6^th finishing 6^th.  Final points for 2007 showed Mitch finishing 23^rd out 38 competitors in the semi-late division and 46^th out 69 competitors in the Late Models with only two races.

 

 

Mitch will consider Winchester Speedway, VA as his home track but will also enter races at other tracks in VA, MD, PA and NC to expand his racing experience.

All of this is with one destination in mind…VICTORY LANE!!
