Chet Miller was an American racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during 1951 and 1952, entering two races for Kurtis Kraft without recording a finish in the points. His single-seater career was brief and yielded no wins or podiums. Miller's racing reputation, however, was built primarily in the American speedway scene, where he became known as the "Dean of the Speedway" through an extensive Indianapolis racing career that extended beyond his Formula 1 appearances.[1]

Miller's Racer Rating of 3,343 reflects his standing as a professional-level driver working in American single-seater and speedway racing during the early 1950s. He competed against drivers of comparable national and regional standing, though the Formula 1 field he briefly entered represented world-championship-level opposition. His career was cut short when he was killed in a practice crash during a turn at Indianapolis Motor Speedway while preparing for the 1953 Indianapolis 500.[2]
