From The Third Turn, a Wikia wiki

A mile is the name of a unit of length, usually used to measure distance. A mile is equal to 5280 feet, or approximately 1,609.347 metres.

All NASCAR races tend to be measured in miles. For example, the Coca-Cola 600', is 600 miles long. Exceptions are:

Races at short tracks, where the race number is the number of laps

Races at Infineon Raceway and Phoenix International Raceway tend to be measured in KMs. Those are usually shown by adding a "K" to the end of the race title. For example, "Save Mart/Kragen 350K."

- Booster ID number: 7

The Mountain Dew Party Boat.

Mile is a redeco of the Sea Mini-Con Team member Stormcloud, transforming into a speedboat with top-mounted pressure-launch missile. He was only available in the second Micron Booster assortment, in a blind-packed box so the buyer did not know which of the 12 Mini-Cons in the assortment he had until the box was opened.

The same mold is used by Bilge.
