Brett Miller leads all 25 laps at Care Free Pools Night for 3rd career 410 sprint car victory

By Gary Thomas

Chico, CA – August 1, 2008…The 2008 racing season hadn’t been the kindest one to Chico’s Brett Miller and although the performance has been there for the most part, that little thing known as luck hasn’t been with him and the team for much of the year. That all changed on Friday night however, with Miller leading every lap of the main event on Care Free Pools Night at the Silver Dollar Speedway to claim his first victory of the season.

Miller had picked up a season best second place finish a couple Friday’s ago and hoped to build off that when the Feather Falls Casino 410 point season resumed action at Care Free Pools Night this past Friday.

Prior to Friday nights competition though, Miller and the Care Free Pools No. 1x sprinter made a special visit to the Old Town Root Beer Company in Chico on Thursday evening during the weekly Farmers Market. Miller was on hand for autographs and it turned out to be a success as the owners of Old Town Root Beer commented that it was the best night they’ve had since opening the store in Chico. After the event Miller was geared up to do well at his team's sponsor night on Friday.

For 2008 Care Free Pools Racing team owner Bill Bell has come up with a great idea to help support the Humane Society located in Chico, California. For this season the Care Free Pools No. 1x sprinter will feature the Humane Society’s logo on the race car as well as on the trailer that transports the car from track to track. This past season the team put over 10,000 miles on the truck and a trailer, going up and down the highway every weekend from March till November, with many of the events taking place more than 4 ½ hours away from home.

This will give the organization much exposure to a broad base of fans from week to week and in addition to that, the team will donate a portion of its winnings and sponsor money to the Humane Society. “I think this will be a great way to help raise funds and get publicity for the Humane Society,” Bell said. “They are in need of a new building and I can’t think of a better way than to help them raise the funds to build one.” Members of the Humane Society will also attend various races during the season, along with Care Free Pools night at Silver Dollar Speedway on August 8.

With the 2008 sprint car racing season rapidly approaching, Brett and the Care Free Pools Racing team are looking forward to getting everything started. Look for Care Free Pools Racing to focus on the Feather Falls Casino Friday Night Point championship at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA as well as running in select other races with various sanctioning bodies during the season.
