TRANS-AM SERIES FOR THE BFGOODRICH TIRES CUP
FRIDAY, AUGUST 1ST ­ POST-QUALIFYING
 

JOHNNY MILLER, DRIVER OF THE NO. 64 EATON CUTLER-HAMMER JAGUAR XKR,
QUALIFIED SECOND FOR TOMORROW¹S TRANS-AM RACE WITH A TIME OF 1:04:057.

NOTE 1 ­ TROIS-RIVIERES STATSŠMiller has five previous starts hereŠIn 2002,
he qualified sixth, was running second near the end of the race when his
engine expired and finished 12thŠBest finish ­ third in 1999 after
qualifying fourth and leading Lap 37.

NOTE 2 ­ BACKGROUND STATSŠRanks second in the points standingsŠIn 2003, has
one win (Lime Rock) and three additional top-three finishesŠMade his NASCAR
Winston Cup debut at Infineon Raceway in June, finishing 24th on the lead
lapŠIn 2002, finished fourth in the points standings with three top-three,
three top-five and four top-ten finishesŠIn 2000, scored his first career
Trans-Am win at San DiegoŠVoted ³Most Improved Driver² for 1998ŠWon the
³Rookie of the Year² title in 1996.

On his qualifying effortŠ ³This is a big improvement over the first session
and we still have a really loose car even on stickers (tires).  I was able
to manage a couple of laps by moving sway bars during the lap and got a good
lap. I went back out and tried to get better, but I¹d already taken the good
out of the tires.  I certainly didn¹t want to take a chance and wreck it.
So, OK, second is just fine.  We¹re not far off the pole time.  But we just
couldn¹t catch Scott (Pruett), so we¹ll have to race him tomorrow.

³The confidence deal I have is the car¹s not perfect yet, and we¹re pretty
quick.  We¹ll get our car a little quicker, go better, and win the race.
We¹ll save the tires, save the brakes,
