content: Miller Racing Group, Inc. (MRG) team crew cap worn by co-owner Leonard T. Miller is a black baseball cap with the Dr. Pepper logo on the front and Miller Racing Group logo on the side. The American flag edition added to the original MRG logo patch was in honor of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Miller Racing Group was an African American racing team owned by father and son Leonard W. and Leonard T. Miller. MRG was sponsored by Dr. Pepper from 2001-2003 and delivered Dr. Pepper its first corporate win in the brand's history. The team competed in the NASCAR Late Model Stock Weekly Racing Series throughout the southeast. After the 2003 season, the Millers did not have a corporate sponsor for MRG and sustained the team with their personal funds and resources.
