August 1, 2006 – Holland's Marc Miller is now Michigan's best shot to make it on a new reality show called Racin' for a Livin' -- with the help and support from fans both in West Michigan and around the state. He is one of 21 "wild card" drivers competiting for the top 5 spots to advance to the show. Placement is based on media points and fan voting, which runs through August 15. As of July 22 -- when the last rankings were available -- Marc was sitting at #8. He's been ranked as high as #3 and as low as #12. Recent media coverage in Detroit -- a major market -- should bolster his standing when tallies are updated yet this week.The top 15 "rookie" drivers were announced August 1, after the field was narrowed from 50 drivers nation-wide (see rankings below). Dan Frazier from Portage ranked #19 in that category and was named one of five alternate drivers for the show. In all, five drivers from Michigan were in the competition -- three in the "rookie" category and two in the "wild card" category. Chris Hettinger and Jeremy Campbell did not place in the top 20 in the "rookie" division. At last check, Jeff McKenzie was ranked #17 in the "wild card" division.
Racin' for a Livin' will be filmed this fall featuring the top 15 "rookie" and top 5 "wild card" drivers from the competition. The show is expected to air in early 2007.
Miller races the #8 Carhartt Dodge Charger in the CASCAR circuit in Canada.
