Henry Miller: "I'm a pretty simple person. I race, I breathe, I sleep dirt bikes."

When Henry Miller crossed under the checkered flag in the Detroit Supercross race last week, he was unaware of his position. He knew he had run well, and that was all that mattered. "I'm a pretty simple person," Miller told NBC Sports when we caught up with him between Detroit and St.

Louis. "I race, I breathe, I sleep dirt bikes. I have my whole life.

And yeah, I enjoy it, I love it and there's nothing else that I'd rather do. It's a feeling that not many people get to have. " If he repeats in the top 10 in the 250 East/West Showdown this week in Round 12 of the SuperMotocross World Championship at The Dome at America's Center, the odds are good his team will not have told him where he's running this week either.

Miller's motivation to run better comes from the fact that there are riders in front of him. It's simply not acceptable to get beaten on the track. "We don't really put positions on the board a whole lot," Miller said.
