DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Paul Miller Racing will make its GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 debut in the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
The Parsippany, New Jersey-headquartered team owned by veteran racer Paul Miller entered the No. 48 Marquis Jet Porsche GT3 for Bryce Miller and Bryan Sellers. The team's shop is in Buford, Ga. Paul Miller Racing recently tested at Homestead-Miami Speedway in preparation for the Jan. 29-30 running of America's premier endurance race.
Bryce Miller, a 28-year-old resident of Summit, N.J., finished third in the Rolex Series GT championship in his rookie season, 2007. He won at Virginia International Raceway among 10 podium finishes in 13 races. He and Dirk Werner drove in different cars in the season-opening Rolex 24, with the two sharing the same Farnbacher Loles Porsche for the remainder of the season - with Werner capturing the championship.
Miller then finished second in GT in the 2008 Rolex 24, driving for TRG, and placed fifth in the GT championship. It was his best finish in four appearances in the Rolex 24, finishing 21st in 2009 and 18th in January.
"I think we have a far better chance this time around, because our experience level is up and we are familiar with the new tires," said Miller, who hopes to run in additional Rolex Series races in 2011. "I think we should have a pretty good chance. Bryan brings a lot of speed and experience to the team, and we are happy to have him on board."
Sellers, a 28-year-old native of Centerville, Ohio has a best finish of third in 2008 with TRG among three Rolex Series starts. He captured the GT pole at Homestead-Miami Speedway in his Rolex Series debut in 2005.
The team will name a third driver in the near future.
The next Rolex Series activity will be the Jan. 7-9 Roar Before the Rolex 24.
