Newman Wachs Racing drivers John Edwards and Markus Niemela are both winners at Miller Motorsports Park. John dominated his Star Mazda race in 2008 and Markus won his Atlantic Championship race, both leading flag to flag.

“With John leading the championship after his stellar performance in Sebring, we’d obviously like to hold on to that lead," explained Eddie Wachs. "Fortunately for Markus, the series will allow one race to be dropped, so he is very much still in the fight as well. Both of these drivers are capable of winning on any given weekend. It is important for NWR and our sponsors that we perform well and I have no doubt in my mind that we can deliver.”

Said John, “I'm excited to be going back to Miller, after winning last year's Star Mazda race there. It's a very cool track with a lot of fast corners and small elevation changes at just the right time. Although it is nothing like Sebring, we've been doing some testing on tracks similar to what we'll see at Miller, so I'm confident that we'll have a setup that's comfortable to me.”
