Miller on his first trip to Homestead-Miami Speedway:
"I am looking forward to racing in the sunny weather. Once again I head to a track that I have never seen before, but I have done my homework. I have heard you can run right next to the yellow line. It has progressive banking, which allows you to run a lane up from the yellow line. They also say you can pass there which makes for some great racing. It usually takes me a couple laps to adapt to the track and then I am good to go."
Miller on the competition in the NCTS:
"The races I've run in the NCTS this season have definitely been a learning experience. It has been both fun and difficult at times. We ran well right off the bat, but seem to have a monkey on our back here recently. The series has a ton of competition. Anyone who thinks the NCTS is a lesser series should come and compete in one of these races. It is challenging, but a lot of fun."
Miller on his off-season plans:
"I am not sure there is an off-season in racing, but I do plan to have some fun. I am sure we will do some testing in the off-season and I already have a couple of appearances. I am going to work real hard on getting my instrument rating pilot's license. I enjoy flying airplanes and one day would love to buy one. I will spend the holidays with my family in Atlanta and before we know it we will be headed to Daytona."
Crew Chief Marcus Richmond on the 2006 season:
"It's hard to believe the season is over. I started this year as the truck chief on the No. 4 Dodge and driver Timothy Peters and ended the year the crew chief on the No. 4 Dodge and driver Chase Miller. I have learned a lot this season about myself and about this race team. They never give up. We have had some tough breaks this year, but I think we have learned a lesson in all of them. I am already looking forward to Daytona in February."
