Miller Rides High Line to Late Model Win at 34 Raceway

By Ben Deatherage WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa (May 10, 2025) — Evan Miller showcased his mastery of the high line to score his first Sunoco IMCA Late Model victory of the season at 34 Raceway. Jeremy Pundt led the early circuits, building a comfortable lead before a caution midway through the $1,000-to-win, 25-lap main reset the field and erased his advantage.
