Doug Miller Bio
Doug Miller (born November 26, 1981) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 86 Ford for Clubb Racing Inc. A latecomer to the national stock car ladder, Miller made his ARCA debut in 2025 after years of grassroots competition in Florida.
Early Life and Background
Doug Miller was born on November 26, 1981, in Satsuma, Florida. He grew up in the small community in central north Florida and later settled in nearby Hilliard, where he currently resides. His roots in the region placed him close to a strong tradition of short-track racing that has long flourished across the state.
Racing was part of Miller’s family heritage from an early age. His grandfather had been a former competitor on the Daytona Beach and Road Course during the 1950s, giving the family a direct connection to the earliest era of American stock car competition. That lineage helped shape Miller’s interest in oval racing and motorsports in general.
Path to NASCAR
Before reaching the ARCA Menards Series, Miller spent several years competing in regional and grassroots series across Florida. He raced in the Bright House Challenge Series, the FASCAR Gulfcoast Modified Series, and the Florida United Promoters Open Wheel Modified Series. Those events allowed him to develop his skills on short tracks and ovals while building a reputation as a consistent late-model and modified competitor.
His path toward national-level stock car racing began to take shape in early 2025. Miller was confirmed for the pre-season test at Daytona International Speedway with Clubb Racing Inc., where he turned laps in the No. 03 Ford. He later joined the team at Kansas Speedway for a pre-race practice session, this time behind the wheel of the No. 86 Ford, signaling that a full ARCA program with the organization was in development.
Doug Miller Career
Early Career
Doug Miller’s early career was built on Florida short tracks. He competed in the Bright House Challenge Series, the FASCAR Gulfcoast Modified Series, and the Florida United Promoters Open Wheel Modified Series, working his way up through the regional stock car and modified ranks. These series provided a foundation in race craft, car setup, and the demanding style of oval racing common across the southeastern United States.
ARCA Menards Series Breakthrough (2025)
In 2025, Miller was revealed as a participant in the pre-season test for the ARCA Menards Series at Daytona International Speedway, driving the No. 03 Ford for Clubb Racing Inc. Over the two days of testing, he logged a lap time ranked 69th quickest in the field, giving the team valuable data heading into the race season. A few months later, he returned to the track at Kansas Speedway, this time in the No. 86 Ford, where he placed 21st overall in the pre-race practice session.
Several months after Daytona, Clubb Racing Inc. confirmed that Miller would make his ARCA Menards Series debut at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. The event also counted as a combination race with the ARCA Menards Series East, making it his debut in that series as well. With qualifying rained out, he was forced to start 23rd based on points, turned in a 35th-place practice effort, and ultimately finished 33rd after running only ten laps on track. The outing marked his first official national-level start in stock car racing.
Clubb Racing Inc. Era (2025–Present)
Doug Miller aligned with Clubb Racing Inc. ahead of the 2025 ARCA Menards Series season, serving as one of the team’s part-time drivers. The relationship began during the pre-season Daytona test in the No. 03 Ford and continued through the Kansas Speedway practice in the No. 86 Ford. The Indianapolis Raceway Park combination race represented the team’s first official entry with Miller behind the wheel.
While the debut result was modest, the program offered Miller his first opportunity to compete at a national stock car level. As a part-time entry for Clubb Racing Inc., he continues to gain seat time and experience with the organization in 2025, building toward additional ARCA starts in the No. 86 Ford.
Driving Style and Strengths
Miller’s background in Florida modified and late-model racing has given him a foundation in short-track and intermediate oval work. His experience on varied regional circuits is expected to help him adapt to the demands of ARCA competition as he continues to develop with Clubb Racing Inc.
Notable Races and Milestones
Miller’s most notable moment to date came at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in 2025, where he made his ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East debut.
