A few words about the car from the current owner (Lance Miller):

My mother and I purchased the Bobby Carradine Corvette Challenge Car from Jay and Joe Policastro (father and son team) in 2006. Jay and Joe were always dear friends of our family, after a phone call from Lance Joe sold me the cars knowing it would be in safe hands. The day the vehicle was received I went through the paperwork and images that came with the car. It was neat to purchase a car that was once owned by his father. Nevertheless, I stumbled onto the title of the car and promptly looked at the back of the title and saw my father's (Chip Miller) signature on the back of it. I instantly knew the car was meant to be in our collection. The overall car is in excellent condition inside and out. The car also came with the rear computer system in tact, this is a very rare feature because they were supposed to be pulled from each car after the series ended.

Other interesting facts:

Bobby Carradine was the lead roll actor on the famous movie "Revenge of the Nerds". As you saw from the race history of Bobby, he was one heck of a driver as well! Lance used this vehicle to rev the engine during the 2006 Corvettes at Carlisle event in tribute to his father - along with 3000 other Corvettes revving at noon on Saturday of the event. He also did a burnout at the inaugural Corvettes at Carlisle burn-out competition.
