Daniel Miller Set for 410 Sprint Car Debut with Must See Racing

Ocklawaha, Florida’s Daniel Miller is set to make his Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts.Com debut when the series visits the Panhandle area for two nights of racing as part of the ‘Southern Shootout’. Not only will it be his first points paying MSR debut, but it will also be the first time he has run an unrestricted 410 engine in competition.

The series will visit Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on Friday October 3 and will conclude the racing weekend the following evening on Saturday October 4 at Montgomery Motor Speedway in Montgomery, Alabama. Both events will pay $10,000-to-win.

The 2023 Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series champion is no stranger to asphalt winged sprint car racing. In addition to his championship, he has previously won with the series during his racing career.

Miller did compete in the special co-sanctioned MSR / SSSS ‘Children’s Dream Fund 50’ non points event in 2024, but it was a restricted 410 engine race. This weekend’s racing agenda will be the first time he will get to feel the true horsepower of a 410 engine. The SSSS is a 360 series.

“It will be the first time I’ve run with Must See Racing and with a 410 before. It’s definitely gonna be a learning curve” explained Miller. “I haven’t even tested the 410 yet. There is an open practice on Thursday. We’re gonna try and make it up for that to get some seat time.

“We’ve talked about running these races for a while. My car owner Chaz Hambling has had the 410 for a while. We ended up putting the 410 in about a month ago just to make sure we didn’t have any bugs or anything going on.

“These tracks will be new for me. I’ve run Five Flags in a late model but never in a sprint car. I liked Five Flags. It was definitely different. I remember it was fast and ate tires a lot. But comparing the late model to a sprint car there are two different animals.

‘We’re trying to get through some recent misfortunes with the car. We’ve struggled. We’re trying to get through some of the lows of the P1 car. We’re trying to get some of the things we’ve found wrong with the car straightened out. I think we’re there. If we do good this weekend, I think Chaz and everybody will be happy to do some more 410 racing in the future”.

The 29-year-old Miller began driving for the Chaz Hambling owned P-1 Chassis racing team in the spring. Despite driving for two different teams this season, he currently sits in seventh place in the SSSS points standings despite missing a race.

“Chaz has been great to drive for. Anything we’ve needed he’s bought. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to win. We explain it and he’s on board.

“I’d love to win this weekend. If the car is good, I think we’ll have a chance. I’d love to run in the top five. We’re gonna have a bunch of cars there so even a top ten and I’d be happy” concluded Miller.
