Kevin Stith is confident he knows a good candidate when he sees one. Stith believes that piston/rod manufacturer and Top Fuel team owner Bill Miller is that man.

The Santa Fe Springs, Ca.-based screen printer rolled through the gates armed with boxes of “Republican Red” t-shirts bearing the message “Elect Bill Miller President”. Miller’s BME team will wear the t-shirts throughout the course of the weekend.

“There’s a lot of us out here who appreciate the way he thinks,” said Stith. “He’s got a way of explaining things in black and white, rather than in color.”

“There’s a lot of us out here who appreciate the way he thinks,” said Stith. “He’s got a way of explaining things in black and white, rather than in color.”

Stith said the t-shirt idea was inspired largely in part by the special bumper stickers circulated at this race last year bearing Miller’s name with Barrack Obama as his running mate.

Miller’s BME rods and piston business has used patriotism and support for the military as his business’ advertising base.

Miller, a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, laughed off the practical joke.

But this time, Stith points out, this is no joke.

“Maybe he can make Jim Dunn his running mate,” Stith added. “Those guys are no nonsense and know how to make things balance out. If they don’t win the election, they’ll win the fight afterwards.”

Bill Dixon, longtime crewman for Miller’s Top Fuel team, believes Miller would make a good president because of his daily disposition.

“He’s ornery enough to make a good president,” Dixon said. “I never had a drill instructor that was as tough as him. He’s such a redneck that his neck glows in the dark. He’d make a helluva president and get this country back on track, the way it used to be back in the day.”
