Brandon Miller will practice and qualify the #55 Fruit of the Loom Chevrolet in place of Robby Gordon at Nashville Superspeedway June 11, John Story, CEO of Robby Gordon Motorsports said. Miller, 22, of Bakersfield, California has experience with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the NASCAR Winston West Series and the NASCAR Southwest Tour. Gordon, will not be able to practice or qualify on Friday due to his NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series obligations at Pocono Raceway. He will fulfill his obligations to race the car in Saturday’s Federated Auto Parts 300. Despite where Miller qualifies, Gordon will have to start at the back of the field for the race due to NASCAR rules that state if a driver change takes place, the car will start at the rear. Gordon remains 11th in the NASCAR Busch Series points after running in 12 of 14 races. The Fruit of the Loom Racing Team will get their horsepower from Richard Childress Racing this weekend at Nashville. This will be Brandon Miller’s first attempt practicing and qualifying behind the wheel of a NASCAR Busch Series race car.(Camp and Assoc PR)(6-9-2004)
