“We are pleased to have a second
car in the CRA Super Series to compliment the Great Deals No. 26 Rick
Turner Ford Fusion,” said Mougeotte. “While we are excited about the
car and even more excited about the choice of the driver to set behind
the wheel.”
Nineteen year old Bret Miles Jr.
from Muncie, Ind., will be driving the Great Deals Racing No. 32 Port
City Chevrolet. The car will be powered by the McGunegill Sealed
Engine that has been developed by Rick Turner and Great Deals Racing
over the past few years.
”I have been watching Bret for the
last couple of years as he has gotten his racing wings and he keeps
getting better and better. I saw him do things that I have not seen in
a long time at Anderson Speedway,” added Mougeotte.
In 2006, Bret Miles Jr. placed
second in the Lampco Federal Credit Union Street Stock point standings
and earned Rookie of the Year honors at Anderson Speedway. He recorded
a division-leading four feature wins along with seven fast times and
14 top-10 finishes.
Miles will be in a three year
driver development program with Great Deals Racing. He will run a
minimum of seven races in 2007 in the CRA Super Series and compete
full-time in 2008 and run for Rookie of the Year honors.
The Miles family has experienced a
tremendous amount of success in Central Indiana. Dennis was one of the
most accomplished drivers in the Midwest during the 1960s and 70s,
recording over 200 feature victories. One of his biggest wins took
place in 1971, claiming the second Annual Winchester 400 checkered
flag.
Bret Miles Sr. followed his
footsteps, winning his first championship at 17 years of age, claiming
the 1987 Sportsman crown at Anderson Speedway. He also captured the
2003 SuperTruck title and ranks near the top of the career victory
charts with 11 wins. Bret has also produced two victories in the CRA
Street Stock division.

entry include Great Deals Coupon Magazine, Champion Windows,

“I am pleased to be chosen to drive
the second Great Deals CRA Car and to work with Jim Mougeotte and Rick
Turner in my development and growth in the next three years,” said
Bret Miles Jr. “Rick has been successful in his Super Late Model
racing and I want to learn all I can and take that knowledge and move
up in racing.”
