Robin Miller — Come To The Darkside

If you’re a fan of all types of racing, then you know who Robin Miller is. He primarily covers open-wheel racing, but his down-home, informal, and honest style of communicating is what NASCAR reporting needs. He was one of a handful of racing experts that was calling the old CART-IRL debacle what it really was: an ego trip that was being driven by Indy Speedway owner Tony George.

NASCAR needs Robin Miller to keep the pressure on Helton and Co. to keep the decisions coming out of NASCAR HQ honest. That’s not to say that NASCAR would listen to Miller any more than they would anyone else, but Miller does have an incredible amount of credibility, and his voice reaches far and wide.

And talk about a breath of fresh air compared to the current crop of let’s-not-offend-Helton-happy tv shows that are being broadcast today, like “Inside NASCAR”, being hosted by Dave Despain, and his band of characters. It’s a lame show, primarily because Michael Waltrip, Kenny Schrader, et al. are afraid to bite the hand that feeds them.
