Race Kicks Off At Thompson June 16
Lebanon, NH -- With the first qualifying
event in the four-race “Ricky’s Chase To The
Race” series less than two weeks away, the
family of the late modified driver, Ricky
Miller, is putting the final touches on the
special qualifying series that will pay
additional prize money to competitor’s vying
for a guaranteed starting position in the
big race.
The race benefits David’s House, a home away
from home for families with ill or injured
children receiving treatment through
children’s hospital at Dartmouth- Hitchcock
Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.
The first race is Thursday night, June 16,
at Thompson Speedway, Thompson, CT. The

CT., will host the second race, Friday, June
24, and then the attention swings north to
New Hampshire at Monadnock Speedway,
Winchester, NH., July 2, and Lee USA
Speedway, Lee, NH., July 8, for the third
and fourth races.
Retired racing great Donnie Miller Sr,
himself a long-time successful modified
racer, is excited for the new qualifying
series he and his family have established.
“We wanted to add something different this
year, take it to the next level .Not
only is it the highest posted purse for the
Valenti Modified Racing Series, but
we have added the four-race series giving
the competitor a chance to add
to their winnings.” he said. The four races
will carry it’s own point fund.

not a guaranteed starter, will
receive a guaranteed starting spot. Point
