“It’s been a wild ride since we established this team earlier in the year, but it has been a very exciting venture,” said Miller. “Although we’re still on a bit of a learning curve as a team, things have gone well overall. James has been a great partner and his experience and race savvy have been invaluable. We appreciate the support of our families, friends and teammates, and we are most indebted to Dempsey Racing, who have helped us all along the way and handled our team logistics. We’re proud to represent Miller Motorsports Park, the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School and the Ford Racing Boss Track Attack program. With a lot of hard work and a little luck, we hope to make them proud of us this weekend at Mid-Ohio.”
“This is going to be an exciting weekend,” said Burke. “It’s one of America’s great racetracks, and our Boss 302R Mustang should be very strong. The team has gone through a few rough patches coming out of the gate, but we’re getting better every time we race. This is a very competitive series and we’ve jumped in at the deep end, but we’re feeling confident and looking forward to our best result yet.”
This weekend’s race will be the team’s third outing in the CTSCC, having already raced at Road America in June, placing 12th in class, and at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in July, placing 23rd in class after encountering mechanical problems mid-race.
The race will take place on Saturday, September 17, and will be broadcast on a tape-delayed basis on SPEED Channel at 11 a.m. MDT on Sunday, September 25.
