CAMBRIDGE, Wis. (Tuesday, June 14th, 2011) -- The floodgates have been opened for Jeremy Miller. The three-time Big 8 Series presented by Gandrud Chevrolet champion got the monkey off his back on Memorial Day and ended a three year Big 8 winless drought at Columbus 151 Speedway; tonight, he bided his time and hung around the top five as several contenders took themselves out of the running and by the end of the series' return to Jefferson Speedway, Miller was clearly the best car left on 'Wisconsin's Action Track'.
