Weather was picture perfect for racing with temperatures in the high 70s all weekend and party sunny skies over central Florida. With 87 entries and a tight course filled with sugar sand, mud holes and water, carnage was certain to ensue…and it did.

#1 Kyle Chaney & #4 Tim Farr held the top two spots early on in the front row, but they both suffered issues & they weren't alone with only 17 of the 87 SxS entries completing all 5 laps

The battle of attrition came down to the final lap. Defending champion Kyle Chaney took the lead at the start and was dominating up front. However, with just a half mile left, Chaney got stuck in a bottleneck and broke a tierod attempting to get out fell back. John Yokley briefly took the lead, but also fell out with a mechanical issue. Miller was in just the right place as he inherited the lead and went on to win. Interestingly, the former Pro ATV Motocross racer finished fourth in the 4X4 ATV race earlier in the day.

Houser Racing's Cody Miller grabbed the holeshot on his row & he held the third spot with adjusted time after the first lap

“I’m ecstatic,” said Miller. “We’ve been doing this side by side racing since 2012. We are making a big push this year to come out to GNCC. We’ve done well in all of the other series in which we’ve competed. We knew we had a good car here with the Can-Am Maverick. We did a lot of work this offseason and it paid off. We’re pumped”.

With the machines covered in mud & Chaney having issues on the last lap, Cody Miller nearly didn't get the checkered flag before going out for another lap

“My Can-Am Maverick was running strong,” added Miller. “I got the holeshot out there with the Evolution Programmer and the HMF exhaust. The new Houser products we helped developed are working great. We have the center of gravity lowered down. The Maxxis Tires and DWT Wheels really got us through the mud. The Elka shocks were just floating over the rough stuff; I never let up. S3 hooked us up with some A-arms this year.”
