JACK MILLER TO RACE PRO MX!

Australian MotoGP rider Jack Miller has made a dramatic last-minute decision to join the July 21 round of the 2024 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores in Toowoomba.

Capitalising on a MotoGP calendar break, the 29-year-old Miller will bring star power to the premier Thor MX1 class aboard a Caterpillar-sponsored ‘Thriller Motorsports’ KTM.

The four-time MotoGP winner is no slouch in the motocross saddle himself, spending large chunks of his spare time cutting laps on his beloved KTM 450SX-F.

And in a very inimitable ‘Jack’ way, his motocross passion isn’t half-hearted: in 2023 he built a motocross track on his property in Townsville so he can make the transition from house to horsepower in a matter of minutes!

Miller has also competed in regional motocross events in Australia over the past few years, with his natural talent, tenacity and competitive instincts seeing him claim the scalps of several seasoned campaigners.

However, the stakes will be higher and the spotlight much brighter in his ProMX debut, but it’s a challenge that Miller is relishing against championship top brass like Kyle Webster, Jed Beaton and Nathan Crawford.
“A little spontaneous for me to throw a leg over the dirt bike at a national-level event, but in keeping with my typical last-minute fashion I thought I’d give it a crack,” said Miller.

“I’ve been watching the series closely this year, and it has really impressed me. It’s always awesome to give my partners a little more than we planned by doing these unique one-off events away from the MotoGP circuit, not to mention filling my own cup by riding dirt bikes in general.

“A big thank you to Franko and my partners for helping piece this one together. Excited to see everyone in the valley come Sunday!”

The Toowoomba ProMX battle is stopover number six on this year’s calendar, with the final two rounds set down for Gympie on August 11 and Coulson on August 17-18.

Miller will be back in MotoGP mode come August, which will eventually bring him back Down Under for the 2024 Qatar Airways Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island from October 18-20.
