Ringers Gloves/ASA Post-race Lakeland

Butch Miller Wins ASA National Tour Opener
 
INDIANAPOLIS – (March, 30 2004) Ringers Gloves driver Butch Miller and his 
Timber Wolf SS Racing Monte Carlo claimed the first round of ASA National Tour 
action at the SK Hand Tool 200 at USA International Speedway in Lakeland, Fla., 
on Saturday.

  Miller started 14th in the field, lead early on in the race and stayed out 
of trouble for 200 laps.

   But on lap 176, Miller took the lead from hometown boy, Travis Kittleson, 
and never looked back.

   This was Miller’s second consecutive opening weekend victory, as well as 
his 50th career win.

   The accomplishment puts Miller at the top of the list for a driver to win 
50 races and 50 pole positions in his career. 

   In addition to Miller, Ringers also had 10 other drivers qualify in the 
40-car field.

   2003 ASA Rookie of the Year, Reed Sorenson, recorded a fourth place finish 
in his Target/Havoline Dodge, with 2003 ASA National Champion, Kevin 
Cywinski, coming home in seventh for Country Joe Racing.

   Other drivers in the race included Rick Beebe finishing 10th; Rich Loch, 
11th; Toby Porter, 25th; SS Racing’s second entry, John Dalziel, 28th; Todd 
Kluever, 35th; Mike Garvey, 36th; Peter Cozzolino, 39th; and Scott Lagasse, 40th.
