“Team MER had my car prepared to perfection,” said Miller. “We worked hard all weekend to find a good balance and I really have to thank all of my teammates for doing such a great job. One of Team MER’s strengths are how well the drivers and crew work together.”

Zach Ply ran a great race finishing 5th after qualifying 10th. Ply managed to get a great restart after the last caution and took advantage of a miscue from another driver for his first career top-5, putting him 4th in the championship point standings.

"It feels great to have raced so closely with everyone and finish in the top 5 especially at a track that was new to me," said Ply. "This gives me the confidence I need to bring to the next race in New Jersey. I want to thank the crew for working so hard to give me a car that was fast and consistent throughout the race. Being 4th in points after round two is very exciting though I realize the need to work even harder now to move up the ladder."

Jeff Mosing also ran a solid race finishing 7^th. Mosing rebounded from a tough start at Road Atlanta to run a solid, consistent run to record his first career top ten finish. Nick Mancuso also ran as high as 3^rd place during the race after his 5^th place qualifying effort and ended the race in 12^th position.

Nick Mancuso ran as high as third but was shuffled back after the restart. He would end up 12^th. Brad Adams made a return to the series after missing the season-opener to finish in the 17^th position.

After two rounds of racing, Team MER drivers sit 1^st and 4^th in the overall point’s standings. The next two rounds will take place June 12-14, at Thunderbolt Raceway, in Millville, N.J. With two career-high finishes in the last round and round one runner-up Mark Jenkins rejoining the team, Team MER is confident of continuing their long string of success.

“We are really looking forward to New Jersey,” said Juliann Pokorny, MER Team Manager. “We had our first podium sweep there last year and had a great weekend. Even though our drivers have never been there, we are confident that we can get up to speed quickly and post more solid results.”
