ATV Racing Up and Comers, Cody & Hunter Miller Featured in Toyota Tundra Commercial (Page 4)

Hunter Milller

ATV Scene: Let’s talk a little ATV racing. How’s is going with Yamaha?
Hunter: We’ve been riding Yamahas for three years now. This year Donnie Luce at Yamaha has been helping us out and we really appreciate it.

ATV Scene: Thomas Brown seems to be your third brother, especially this season. Is he getting help from Yamaha as well?
Hunter: Thomas is great. And yes, he’s also getting some factory support from Yamaha. We teamed up this year. We practice together, drive to the races together and we pit together. His dad Kent has been a huge help in our program as well.

ATV Scene: So your 6 Hours of ATV America team is still intact all year?
Hunter: Yep. We started our season as a Yamaha team at the first 6 Hours of Texas race here at our Caddo Point track and had a blast. Every since we won that race we have had a great season mechanically. Our new DASA Yamaha motors run really good and they’re reliable.

 

 

 

Thomas Brown, Cody Miller and Hunter Miller

ATV Scene: Let’s talk more about your season. How has 2007 been for you guys?
Hunter: Like I said, we started out racing the 6 Hours of America. It was all about having fun and working together on a varied terrain, with no pressure for overall season points. We won the race and carried over that same mentality, teamwork and success with us all year.

ATV Scene: Why did you choose to chase points in the WPSA Series?
Hunter: We raced the Texas GNC which was fun and close, but we had to make a decision which venue to stick with for overall points.  We chose WPSA which better fit our schedule and have had a great, injury free, season!

Cody Miller

ATV Scene: Talk about moving to the Pro-Am and Pro ranks.
Cody: I am currently leading the points in the Pro-Am class and have hopes to secure the title this weekend at the final round. It has been a very trying season for me and I have had to work hard. I really want to win the race and the Championship this weekend. 
Hunter: I moved to the Pro class about four races into the season. I felt a little intimidated at first especially when I got a good start and realized where I was!  Since the last few races, I’m feeling a lot more comfortable and getting valuable seat time and experience for my first season in the pro ranks. 

ATV Scene: How is it both Miller Brothers were invited to race in the recent AMA Pro ATV Open Invitational?
Hunter: Again, opportunity knocked and we took it.  We were racing the GNC at Loretta’s. After the rider’s meeting Harv Whipple and Donnie Luce offered us the two spots that Yamaha had left. Of course, we said yes. We were on the same team as Pat Brown and Travis Spader! Now that’s cool!

 

ATV Scene: And how did you do there?
Hunter: Cody was doing great in seventh place.  On the fourth lap he came down hard on the triple jump and busted his frame.  He had to pull off and watch. I finished 10th and was happy with that since there were twenty hand picked pro riders there.  It was another great opportunity for quads to showcase what they can do.

ATV Scene: What are your plans for next season?  We’re hearing rumors that you guys are being offered sponsorship from manufacturers other than Yamaha. Is this true?
Hunter: We are training hard and taking one day at a time.  We have one more race this season and then we plan to race locally and get ready for the 12 Hours of America.
Cody: We hope to stay together next year with the same Miller Brothers Team. I think we work well together and offer more this way.  We have enjoyed our relationship with Yamaha and are talking to them as well as some others.  Nothing is on paper at this time though.
