Bios for Ken and Irene Miller. KEN MILLER – CAR OWNER/BOARD MEMBER June 12, 1927 – December 15, 2013 Ken was a longtime supporter of the club, and was a longtime car owner and board of director’s member as well. Miller was credited with being the first car owner to put disc brakes on one of his cars, and the first owner in this area to put a wing on the roof of his super modified car. Ken and his wife Irene were in charge of the club’s finances for years, and have even been referred to as the club’s historians as well. Through the years he owned cars driven by Andy Nikitenko, Oscar Corum, and Billy Reum, and Miller always seemed to have room at his business, Miller’s Sheet Metal, if any driver needed a place to wrench on their car. IRENE MILLER – BOARD MEMBER/CAR OWNER August 9, 1924 – March 9, 2013 Plain and simple, Irene Miller will be best known for keeping records and history of the race club from its beginnings in 1953 until the completion of the 1972 season. For nearly 20 years, Irene served on and off the board of directors, and also on the Nodak Race Club Auxiliary. Her preservation of the race club’s history through new clippings and photos is second to none. She was always at her husband’s Ken’s side to help out wherever she could, as they were car owners and owners of Miller’s Sheet Metal as well. Without the watchful eye of Irene, the club’s history that we now have preserved might not have ever been retained.
