MILLER CAPTURES 50TH CAREER WIN IN SK HAND TOOL 200

LAKELAND, Fla. (March 27, 2004) - Veteran Butch Miller captured his 50th career win
at the SK Hand Tool 200 after fending off a furious challenge from Travis Kittleson who
was searching for his first series victory. By taking the checkered flag, Miller becomes
the   first  ASA   driver  with  more  than  one  win  on  the  0.75-mile  USA  International
Speedway.

Miller becomes the first person in ASA history to obtain both 50 race wins as well as 50
poles. "I couldn't ask for a better car," Miller said from the winner's circle. "The car was
prepped perfect. We just want to continue on and our goal is to win the championship.
We want to win that really bad."

Miller started his Timber Wolf Chevrolet from the 14th position and took the lead on lap
176, but had to overcome a late caution which bunched up the field on lap 195. On the
final  five  circuits,  Kittleson  was  all  over  Miller's back bumper but raced him clean and
wasn't  able  to  get  inside  for  the  pass. At  the  line,  it  was  Miller  by  0.16  seconds  over
Kittleson, the closest margin of victory in the six races held at this facility.

"Butch is one of the cleanest drivers out there," Kittleson commented. "We've had our
run-ins and I wanted to prove to him that I could run clean. Our car was best on short
runs and his was best on long runs. It was one heck of a race and I had a great time out
there."

By placing second, Kittleson matched his best career finish, with Stephen Leicht, Reed
Sorenson and Casey Smith rounding off the top five. The highly competitive race saw 10
lead  changes  among  seven  drivers,  including  pole-sitter  Zach  Neissner,  Mike  Cope,
Kevin Cywinski, Miller, Wade Day, Kittleson, and Joey Miller leading his first laps in ASA
National Tour  competition. The  10  lead  changes  and  seven leaders both matched the
ASA track records. The event was slowed by 13 cautions for a total of 95 laps.

The "choose rule" made its ASA debut, and as designed, gave the racers another level
of race strategy. With one lap to go before returning to green flag action, drivers made a
"choice"  to  go  on  either  the  high  or  low  groove. At  the  SK  Hand Tool  200,  it  was  not
uncommon  to  see  the  top  four  or  five  cars  choose  the  low  line,  and  the  next  car
choosing to go high and starting in second position. The double file restart (a first in ASA
competition) made for competitive action and was greeted favorably by the fans.

The Cool Shirt "Cool Move of the Race" award was given to Leicht for a last lap pass
over Reed Sorenson to capture the final podium position. Ryan Unzicker was the Hard
Charger of the race by moving up 26 positions, and the SK Hand Tool Crew Chief of the
Race was Howie Lettow.

The ASA National Tour is next in action at Lanier National Speedway in Braselton, Ga.
on Saturday, May 1.
