Motorsports Has Lost One Of It's Only True Truth Teller
Was saddened to see that Mr. Robin Miller has lost his brief battle with leukemia (fuk cancer!!). I had the pleasure and honor to have met Robin Miller at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway several years ago. Mr. Miller was a truth teller along with Ed Hinton. Robin & Hinton didn't give a fat rat's ass what the repercussions would be from telling the truth and that is a lost virtue in todays world of corrupt journalism. THAT set him apart from that huge majority of motorsports journalists and journalists in general. As the old saying goes, Mr. Miller called 'em as he saw 'em.
Mr. Miller's truth telling got him fired from his position as chief motorsports editor at the Indianapolis Star. He had the audacity to write and publish his thoughts, which were later proven to be mostly correct, about how detrimental the Cart/IRL split was going to be in the long run for Indy Car racing.
Mr. Miller once got bitch slapped by his biggest hero, A.J. Foyt on pit road at Indianapolis and was hated by Bobby Knught, which is a human virtue and badge of honor for anyone! He certainly did something right if he pissed off those people!
Rest In Peace Mr. Miller, you were in a class of your own.
