A long time friend, ex-rival and sponsor will be helping us support this amazing cause and racing our second car ππ§©
βItβs like riding a bikeβ he says π€πΌ
Malta, NY's Jon Miller, driver of the #12 Lazarro's Auto Body sponsored Sportsmen Modified is registered for The 5th Annual Upstate Chevy Dealers Autism Acceptance Race, and will be making the long-haul to Albany-Saratoga Speedway this Friday, September 4th!
Miller, a now long-time open-wheel competitor at the "Great Race Place" had an up and down year with a recent Top-3, a Top-5 and 3 Top-10's. And, even with his now 15 years in a Sportsmen Modified, he cut his racing teeth in Street Stock division, amassing 37 wins prior to moving up "and out" of the full-fendered ranks.
Those early days of racing forged a strong friendship with Ballston Spa's Brandon Emigh, driver of the #2 Lazarro's Auto Body Pro Stock, thus leading to this Friday where Miller will strap into Emigh's spare car and "see how it goes."
Will it be like riding a full-fendered bike? Only one way to find out, BE THERE ON FRIDAY!!!
