When a race car driver has nearly nine years of experience under his belt, he is usually
considered a veteran of his craft. Such is the case for 13 year-old Daniel Miller, who
has been racing since the at the tender age of 4 - even younger than 4-time NEXTEL
Cup champion Jeff Gordon, who began his career in quarter midgets at the age of 5.
Miller, in a career move parallel to that of Gordon, began his own driving career racing
quarter midgets in 2000. He proved to be a fast learner with the small but quick cars,
and captured his first career win 2001 at Apopka Speedway. He would get even better
in 2002, when he set fast time for the States Race and set two track records. By the
time the 2004 season came to an end, Miller had racked up over 20 feature wins and
50 top-5 finishes.
With those impressive stats behind him, Miller was ready to step up in class. He made it
his goal to get into a Mini Cup car, which is a 1/2 scale NEXTEL Cup race car. He made
a pair of starts in those cars near the end of the 2005 season - both which ended with
top-5 runs and sending a message that Miller was clearly on his way.
In his first full season in the Mini Cups in 2006, Miller won 6 feature races and finished
in the top-5 20 times. He was the points leader at the season's halfway point but
eventually finished
second in the final tally. He would be exponentially better in the 2007 season, piling up
an astounding 23 feature wins - which led all drivers in all classes in the state of
Florida. He not only took home the Championship in the junior division, but also drove
with the adults in the pro division and out drove them on a regular basis.
In addition to his on-track success, Daniel Miller has participated in autograph sessions
and has appeared in advertising and media campaigns. He has made several
appearances on the Florida Short Track Report. COM internet radio show
(Broadcasted on the FSTRradionetwork.com), as well as on the RealRacinUSA internet
radio show. His highly consistent and productive driving style led him to be nominated
by the Florida Short Track Report as a statewide rookie of the year candidate, where
he was the youngest driver nominated, finished sixth out of a field of 18 drivers that
were voted on by race fans on the Florida Short Track Report web site. His success of
23 feature wins in the 2007 season led him to be nominated for the driver of the year
award.
Daniel Miller moved up in the 2008 season, racing a Pro Challenge 3/4 scale cup car,
preparing for a run in the ASA Late Model Series in 2010. He also received a rookie of
the year award in the Pro Challenge Florida series. In addition, he was nominated and
won the Florida Short Track Report rookie of the year contest which covers the State of
Florida. Without a doubt, the future looks bright for Miller as he grows as both a driver
and a man.
Daniel is available for special appearances as his race schedule permits. The team
can be contacted at milracing00@aol.com or 352-223-3105.
