FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ROCKETSPORTS FINISHES 1-2 IN THE MOTOROCK MIAMI 100
MIAMI It was a Rocketsports front row at the start and finish in todayıs
Motorock Miami 100, Round 10 of the Motorock Trans-Am Tour for the
BFGoodrich Tires Cup. It was Scott Pruett and Tomy Drissi who led the grid
to the green flag, but it was Pruett, followed by Johnny Miller, who took
the checkered flag. Pruett, driver of the No. 7 Motorock Jaguar R
Performance XKR, not only scored the win but clinched his third Trans-Am
Driversı Championship. Meanwhile, Miller, driving the No. 64 Motorock
Jaguar XKR, finished second, his eighth podium finish this season. His
solid drive today secured him the second place position in the championship
point standings.
Pruettıs Trans-Am victory in Miami was eighth this season and his 22nd
career win; he now ranks fourth on the all-time win list. Miller reached a
career milestone as he made his 100th Trans-Am start.
³The car was really quick, it would just take off,² said Pruett, who won his
previous Trans-Am titles in 1987 and 1994. ³It stayed underneath me all
day.²
Pruett was quick to give his teammate due credit. ³Johnny ran strong all
day, just like he has all season,² he continued. ³It was a mirror race of
Trois-Rivieres some places he was better and some places I was faster. In
the end, it came our way.
³Winning a championship is really a team effort,² said Pruett. ³The driver
is the focal point, but it takes the teamıs hard work and dedication. Weıve
had zero mechanical problems this season. Itıs been a dream season.²
Millerıs 100th start was memorable. ³The bump leading on to the front
straight was a real wake-up call with a full fuel load,² said Miller, who
has two wins, 40 top-five finishes, 67 top-ten postings, and four poles to
his credit. ³The last restart hurt us some, but all in all, I had a great
day, a good car, and I could have gone another 20 laps. I had my plan, but
it just didnıt quite work out.
³The important thing for me was just to be here,² Miller explained. ³I have
to thank Rocketsports and Motorock for making it possible for me to continue
the run for the championship and at least take a swing at it.²
Drissi, driving the No. 5 ³Stuck on You, the Movie² Jaguar XKR, retired
early with suspension problems following contact with another competitor,
finishing 13th.
The Motorock Miami 100 will air on a tape-delayed basis on Friday, Oct. 10
at 9:00 p.m. on PEE Channel.
