Rocketsports Bookends the Podium in the MotoRock Mile High 100 Trans-Am Race at Denver

DENVER ­ Rocketsports Racing continued its tradition of excellence with
another pair of podium finishes at the MotoRock Mile High 100 during the
Centrix Financial Grand Prix of Denver weekend Sunday.  Two-time Trans-Am
Series champion Scott Pruett, driving the No. 7 MotoRock Jaguar XKR, scored
the flag-to-flag win while teammate Johnny Miller, driving the No. 64 Eaton
Cutler-Hammer Jaguar XKR, collected third place points.

Pruett¹s victory was his seventh in nine starts this season while setting a
new track record and winning the BFGoodrich Tires ³Take Control² award.
With his 21st career Trans-Am win, Pruett is now tied for fourth place in
all-time wins with Bob Tullius, who won both the Drivers¹ and Manufacturers¹
Championships for Jaguar in 1978.

Miller¹s podium finish was his seventh this season.  His win at Lime Rock
was his second career Trans-Am victory.

³This has been a terrific season,² said Pruett, who increased his lead in
the point standings.  ³We ran hard here, but a left a little on the table.
You can¹t challenge this track 100%; one little bobble and you can lose a
half second or more.  You¹ve got to be heads up enough not to get in too
deep and pay a big price.²

³We were really laying it down here,² continued Pruett, who had never raced
on the current Denver downtown circuit.  ³My car had an ugly understeer in
the beginning, but by the end, the car was sweet.  The car really came in
well.²   

³We had a good car all weekend,² explained Miller, who ranks second in the
championship point standings behind his teammate. ³Not being able to qualify
because of the rain probably hurt us today because it¹s so tough to pass on
this track.  You get one foot off line and the car just sails.²

³There was a lot of debris off line,² continued Miller.  ³On line, we were
blisteringly fast.  Here, you just can¹t get off line, that¹s the real
challenge.²

Tomy Drissi, driving the No. 5 ³Stuck on You, the Movie² Jaguar XKR retired
early with suspension problems as a result of being tagged by another
competitor, finishing 15th.
