FREEPORT, Ill. (Sept. 9) - Darren "The Thriller" Miller used a late-race pass around Denny Eckrich to retake the lead and the win Saturday in the WORLD Dirt Racing League-sanctioned race, The Rebel, here at Freeport Raceway Park.

Brian Harris and Miller started on the front row. Miller grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag while Eckrich and Harris battled for second right behind him. Eckrich found a way around Miller to take the lead on lap 45.
