Miller Vs. Bilderback One-On-One This Saturday Night
By:  Kevin Ramsell

Wednesday, July 26, 2006 (Loves Park, IL) – Jeremy Miller has always felt that he could take on Ricky Bilderback, the five-time Rockford Speedway champion.  But, the competition is so tough this season that he hasn’t been able to show the champ what he is made of.  He will get his chance this Saturday night.

Allstate will present an evening of NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series action with the NASCAR Late Models, Grand Nationals, Coca-Cola RoadRunners and Allison Legacy cars in action. 

The highlight of the evening will be a one-on-one match race between Miller and Bilderback with $500 going to the winner.  

Miller, the current Big 8 Series point leader, has two Big 8 Series win this season.  His recent Big 8 Series win came on July 3rd when he held off Bilderback for the win.  The two put on a great race as Bilderback tried many times to get by the young driver.  

Miller, who drives for Jon Reynolds, came into the 2006 season with the attitude that he could prevent Bilderback from collecting another track championship.  But early season mechanical problems and accidents have set him 125 points back of Bilderback in the standings.

Bilderback recently collected his seventh feature win of the season last Saturday night and is the current king of the high-banked quarter-mile oval.  He is certainly on his way to picking up another championship.  But Miller wants to prove that this champion can be defeated and will get his chance to prove it this Saturday night.

The gates open at 5:00 p.m. with the racing action starting at 7:07 p.m.   For more information, please call the track office at (815) 633-1500 or visit the track’s website at www.rockfordspeedway.com
