HAGERSTOWN, Md. (Sept. 15) — The show went on a night late because rain as defending and two-time race winner Jeremy Miller was quickest around the track in Saturday’s qualifying for the 33rd Annual Sunoco Race Fuels Hub City National 150 at Hagerstown Speedway scheduled for Sunday evening.

Miller, of Littlestown, Pa., turned the quickest lap of 18.626 seconds around the half mile, just .529 seconds off the one lap record set by Billy Moyer in July 2005.

”It’s been a long time since I’ve been standing out here,” Miller said after earning the fast time trophy from Ernie’s Auto Enterprises. “We’ve went through a lot of bad times. We actually have better equipment than I had last year but we just had some issues, and last week I think we found a lot of them. We won races last year and haven’t been able to back it up this year. We’ve made some changes and I feel we’re headed in the right direction.”

The story of the night was when three-time event winner Gary Stuhler turned a second respectable lap but shut the car off at the finish. He later crawled in Miller’s back up car and without hesitation, turned the second quick time of the night at 18.913 seconds.

“Gary’s a super guy and wanted to run and just had mechanical problems.” said Charles Buckler, car owner of the No. 24 machines. “I talked to Jeremy because he‘s the guy that works on them. I said ‘What do you want to do, Jeremy?’ Jeremy said ‘Give Stuhler the car.’ ”

With Miller and Stuhler locked in, heat wins went to Bo Feathers, J.T.Spence, Chad McClellan, Marvin Winters, Booper Bare and David Williams. Steve Axtell won the consolation race.

Jimmy and Stuhler will start on the poles of two 50-lap qualifying races. The top twelve from each feature will advance into the final 50-lap Hub City event paying $7,500 to the winner.�
