BUDD'S CREEK, Md. - July 23. Gettysburg Pa.’s Jeremy Miller scored a thrilling win in last Friday’s 40-lap Three State Flyers series event at the Potomac speedway The win was Miller's first feature win at Potomac in nearly three years and his career 19th at the track. Miller retook the lead from World of Outlaws regular Josh Richards with less than a lap to go to claim the $5,000 victory.

Miller got the jump on Keith Jackson at the start to lead the event’s first circuit. would asserted himself to take the top-spot on lap two and led the next ten-laps before fourth starting Josh Richards grabbed the top on lap 12. As Richards appeared to have the car to beat, Miller and Jackson waged their own war for second and third that lasted nearly 20 laps before Richards faltered and both Miller and Jackson got by.

 

“That was a lot of fun.” Miller stated from Potomac’s victory lane. “The track got black like we expected, but there was still plenty of traction. I was able to move around a little and find where the car worked best.”

  Miller felt his opportunity for the win came on a lap 37 restart. “I think Josh’s car had a broken shock or something.” Miller stated. “He was having a little trouble keeping his car on the bottom, and if I was going to make a move that’s where it would have to come from.” Tire choice would be critical in the outcome of the event. “ tonight was all about tire management.” Miller said. “We went with a little softer tire and I saved something for the end of the race and it sure does feel good to win here at Potomac again.”

 

Jackson finished second behind Miller, Richards settled for third, Jamie Lathroum came from 21st to secure fourth and Austin Hubbard completed the top five.
