It is a sad day for the Miller Motorsports Park and Utah Jazz organizations as their owner, Larry Miller died last February 20 due to diabetes complications at the age of 64.

Miller Motorsports Park, in Toole, Utah, was originally intended to be a private driving course for Miller. But support from enthusiasts and automakers expanded the project’s scope into an auto, motorcycle and kart racing complex.

Miller got started in the car business as a dealership parts department manager in 1966. He opened a Toyota dealership in suburban Salt Lake City in 1979. Miller’s dealership group ranked No. 10 on the Automotive News 2008 list of the top 125 dealership groups in the United States, with 47,848 new retail unit sales and revenues of $2.86 billion.
