POSTED 9-20-08 THE BIG STORY OF 2008, AND BO MILLER HANGS ON TO WIN THE 2008 LATE MODEL CHAMPIONSHIP

What was really going on at Beech Bend Raceway Friday night? Late Model driver Bo Miller has had a strange season. He started out in the black and white #38, then drove the #3 car of Bobby White, then drove the #3 car of Tommy Lawrence, then drove the #05 car of Tommy Climer and that was it, or was was it? NO, it was not the end of the strange Bo Miller season. The #05 car comes in tonight and Bo goes into the night with only a 8 point lead over #99 Chad Willis. As I am busy taking photos, I see the #05 on the trailer and it appears to be ready for the trip to Tennessee with Tommy Climer. But there is one problem, we haven't raced yet. Then you see Tommy and Bo standing at the front of the truck in discussion. And sure enough the #05, Bo's ride is going out the gates toward Tennessee. Then rumors are flying all over the pits. It looks like Bo Miller will hand over the championship to #99 Chad Willis. As the races start up and we are watching them, you look up and over the hill a BIG white RIG comes through the gates into the pits. Yes, you guessed it. It's a ride for Bo Miller. It's the Nashville car of Dillion Oliver #33. So this is car #5 for the season. And yes, Bo races the #33 car finishes ninth and wins the championship for 2008 in the late model class by 10 points over Chad Willis. To me this may be the seasons 2008 story. Oh, by the way! If Bo ever quits racing maybe he would think of becoming a magician. Magicians pull rabbits out of a hat and Bo pulls cars out of a hat. Congratulations to Bo Miller!
