Doug Miller Bio
Doug Miller (born November 26, 1981) is an American professional stock car racing driver from Satsuma, Florida. He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 86 Ford for Clubb Racing Inc. Based in Hilliard, Florida, Miller worked his way through regional Florida racing series before reaching the ARCA national level in 2025.
Although Miller’s national-series career has been brief, it represents the culmination of years spent competing on Florida short tracks and regional circuits. His move to the ARCA Menards Series with Clubb Racing Inc. marked his first appearance in a NASCAR-sanctioned national touring series.
Early Life and Background
Doug Miller was born on November 26, 1981, in Satsuma, Florida, a small community located in Putnam County in northern Florida. He grew up surrounded by the regional short-track racing culture that has long been part of life in the Sunshine State. His ties to motorsports run through his family, as his grandfather was a former competitor on the Daytona Beach and Road Course during the 1950s, the famous beach-and-pavement layout that hosted early NASCAR events before the construction of Daytona International Speedway.
That family history gave Miller a direct link to stock car racing’s earliest era and helped shape his interest in the sport from a young age. He later settled in Hilliard, Florida, in Nassau County near the Georgia border, where he currently resides with his family. Miller is the father of three children.
Path to NASCAR
Miller’s climb toward NASCAR-sanctioned competition ran through several regional Florida series. He previously competed in the Bright House Challenge Series, the FASCAR Gulfcoast Modified Series, and the Florida United Promoters Open Wheel Modified Series. These regional touring divisions gave him experience on a variety of short tracks and modified-style race cars and helped him build the résumé he would eventually bring to the national ARCA Menards Series.
His connection to Clubb Racing Inc. became the bridge that brought him into a NASCAR-affiliated series. In 2025, Miller was invited to take part in the ARCA Menards Series pre-season test at Daytona International Speedway, driving the No. 03 Ford for the team. He later ran a pre-race practice session at Kansas Speedway behind the wheel of the No. 86 Ford, posting the 21st quickest time overall. Those appearances set up his official series debut later in the season.
Doug Miller Career
Early Career (Florida Regional Series)
Miller’s early career was built on the Florida regional short-track scene. He raced in the Bright House Challenge Series, a touring division known for its mix of late models and modifieds, gaining seat time on ovals across the state. He also ran the FASCAR Gulfcoast Modified Series, competing in open-wheel modified machines, and the Florida United Promoters Open Wheel Modified Series, which featured a similar breed of cars.
These regional programs allowed Miller to develop his race craft, learn the rhythms of weekly short-track competition, and prepare for a potential step up to NASCAR-sanctioned events. His progression from those Florida touring series to a national ARCA ride reflected steady improvement over several seasons.
ARCA Menards Series Breakthrough (2025)
Miller’s national-series debut came in 2025 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in the LiUNA! 150. The event was a combination race with the ARCA Menards Series East, meaning it counted as his first start in both series. Driving the No. 86 Ford for Clubb Racing Inc., he started 23rd after qualifying was rained out, placed 35th in practice, and ultimately finished 33rd after running only ten laps of green-flag action.
The debut itself, even with a short run, represented the realization of a long climb from Florida regional racing to a NASCAR-owned series. Miller’s best ARCA Menards Series finish through the documented portion of his career is 139th in the 2025 standings, while his best ARCA Menards Series East finish is 75th, also from 2025. Across both series he has recorded zero wins, zero top-ten finishes, and zero pole positions to date.
Clubb Racing Inc. Era (2025)
Miller’s relationship with Clubb Racing Inc., often shortened to CRI, opened the door to his ARCA opportunity. The team first fielded him in the No. 03 Ford for the 2025 Daytona ARCA pre-season test, where he was 69th quickest across the two days of running. CRI later switched him to the No. 86 Ford for additional practice sessions, including the Kansas Speedway pre-race practice, where he ranked 21st overall.
With CRI, Miller settled into the No. 86 Ford for his competitive ARCA debut at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The team continues to serve as his professional home in the ARCA ranks, and the partnership remains the foundation of any future national-series activity for the Florida driver.
Driving Style and Strengths
Miller’s regional background in modified and late-model-style cars suggests a comfort level with the handling characteristics common on short ovals. His willingness to step up from regional touring series to a national NASCAR-affiliated series, even on a part-time basis, reflects perseverance and a willingness to learn at higher speeds.
Notable Races and Milestones
Miller’s signature milestone to date is his ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East debut in the 2025 LiUNA! 150 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The race also marked his first event with Clubb Racing Inc. in official national-series competition and his first start at a national NASCAR-owned level.
Doug Miller Career Wins
Doug Miller’s documented national-series win totals currently stand at zero. He has not recorded a victory, a top-ten finish, or a pole position in either the ARCA Menards Series or the ARCA Menards Series East. His competitive record at the national NASCAR level remains in the earliest stages.
ARCA Menards Series Highlights
Miller’s ARCA Menards Series résumé includes a single documented start in 2025 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, where he started 23rd and finished 33rd after a short run. His best series finish is 139th in the 2025 standings, with zero wins, zero top tens, and zero poles recorded.
The 2025 LiUNA! 150 also doubled as his ARCA Menards Series East debut, where he posted a best East finish of 75th in 2025 with the same starting lineup of zero wins, zero top tens, and zero poles.
Other Wins and Performances
Outside of the ARCA ranks, Miller’s documented career is rooted in Florida regional competition. He previously raced in the Bright House Challenge Series, the FASCAR Gulfcoast Modified Series, and the Florida United Promoters Open Wheel Modified Series, though specific wins and championship results from those series are not detailed in available records.
Doug Miller Family
Family Background and Racing Lineage
Miller comes from a family with deep roots in early American stock car racing. His grandfather was a former competitor on the Daytona Beach and Road Course during the 1950s, the era when racers competed directly on the hard-packed sand of Daytona Beach before Daytona International Speedway opened in 1959. That family heritage connects Miller to the very earliest chapter of NASCAR history.
Personal Life
Miller is the father of three children and currently resides in Hilliard, Florida, in the northeastern corner of the state near the Georgia border. He was raised in Satsuma, Florida, and remains based in his home state as he pursues his stock car racing career.
2025 Season Performance
Miller’s 2025 season centers on his part-time ARCA Menards Series effort with Clubb Racing Inc. The campaign began with a pre-season test at Daytona International Speedway in the No. 03 Ford, where he logged the 69th quickest time across two days of running. A follow-up practice session at Kansas Speedway in the No. 86 Ford produced a 21st-place overall ranking.
His competitive debut came at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in the LiUNA! 150, a combination event with the ARCA Menards Series East. Starting 23rd after qualifying was washed out by rain, Miller ran only ten laps and was credited with a 33rd-place finish. The result leaves him with a best ARCA Menards Series finish of 139th in the 2025 standings and a best ARCA Menards Series East finish of 75th.
With the Clubb Racing Inc. partnership intact and the No. 86 Ford program in place, Miller’s outlook for the remainder of 2025 and beyond depends on additional part-time ARCA opportunities. His regional Florida experience and family racing heritage provide a foundation to build on as he looks to add to his national-series résumé.
