[edit] Rising Ranks
Miller spent his youth racing go-carts, mainly in Florida, but winning at multiple seaboard tracks as well. In the WKA (World Karting Association) championships, he recorded a best finish of fifth in the points. He would go onto win two championships at North Georgia Speedway and one more at Peach State Speedway.
In 2001, Miller joined the Legends car ranks in the Southeast, winning an impressive twenty races on the year. That included the pretigious DeSoto Winter National Championship. By 2002, Miller moved to the pretigious Allison Legacy Series, another Legends group. Miller was a quick study, taking rookie of the year and finishing second in overall points.
Miller kept moving up in 2003, going to the ASA Late Model series. He was the rookie of the year in the southern division and would win second place in that division. He completed an amazing 99.81% of laps and earned his way into select USAR Hooters Pro Cup events by 2004. In those USAR races, Miller was in the top five every time.
[edit] ARCA
Miller joined this series in 2005 at the age of 18 made his ARCA debut at Nashville. In that race he moved to the top-five before falling out of the event. Then, at Gateway, Miller led multiple laps before falling out due to transmission trouble.
Miller was then tapped by Dodge Motorsports to drive their #4 Dodge for development drivers in various races in 2006. Miller impressed early. After an 11th place finish at Nashville, Miller charged to the win at the famed Pocono Raceway. He set the record as the youngest driver to ever win a ARCA race at Pocona. He then backed up his win with a dominating performance at the second annual ARCA Pocono event before a cylinder issue took him from the lead, with only eight laps remaining, and forced him to a fifth place finish. He also qualified on the pole at Gateway before more mechanical problems plagued him. He was supposed to compete in a few more races for the team, but instead was called to the Craftsman Truck Series scene.
