He ran his first full season in 1991 in the Abingdon Va. based Henderson Motorsports Food Country U.S.A. #75 Oldsmobile, winning one of the most exciting races ever at Hickory Motor Speedway, scoring 7 top tens, and finishing 16th in points. 1992 fared better for Miller, as he scored 10 top tens and finished 7th in points.
Miller's NASCAR Nextel Cup career started in 1986, when he raced 3 races. In 1990, he ran the full season, however with trouble, scoring only 1 top ten, and finishing 27th in points.
In 1995, he joined other drivers and ran full time in the Craftsman Truck Series. He won a race at Colorado National Speedway and finished 4th in points. He continued to run full-time through 1998.
