Brett Miller looks for good run at Care Free Pools Night this Friday at Silver Dollar Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Chico, CA – July 15, 2009…With Care Free Pools Night coming up this Friday at Silver Dollar Speedway Chico's Brett Miller will be looking to move up the standings and duplicate his performance from last season's event where he claimed victory in the 25 lap feature.

The win on Care Free Pools Night last season marked Miller's third career 410 sprint car victory and was the last time he was able to compete during the '08 season, due to attending the California Regional Fire Academy shortly after the August event. "It was awesome to be able to win on our sponsor night last year and it would be great if we could come back and do it again on Friday," Miller said.

Going into Friday night Miller sits seventh in the Feather Falls Casino 410 standings, but is just 13 points out of the top five. "We've been really fast all season long, but a couple of tough breaks here and there have put us further down the points than we would have wanted," commented Miller, who will also celebrate his 20^th birthday next Tuesday. "Brian Cannon and the team have given me some great cars and hopefully we'll get a nice track on Friday and can get a win real soon."

Prior to the evening of racing the Care Free Pools No. 1x sprinter will be on display during the Thursday night Farmers Market in Downtown Chico in front of the Old Town Root Beer Company located at 126 W. 2nd St. Chico, CA 95928. Following the races on Friday night the No. 1x trailer will also have free root beer courtesy Old Town Root Beer so please stop by to say hi, hang out and get some root beer.

I just have to say, if you haven't been to the Old Town Rootbeer Company when you're in Chico, you really should make it a point. HUGE selection of rootbeer and sodas that you can drink at the bar, or mix and match to take home. Sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. Great place to grab lunch on race day.
