I realize my opinion means very little, but I do wish to say some things about Greg Staab, the man...
In his tenure in USAC, Greg has been, with the possible exception of Dick Jordan, the most dedicated, hard working, and yes, most PASSIONATE person at 4910 W. 16th Street in Speedway, Indiana. Greg is usually the first person in the office in the morning, getting in well before his scheduled start time, then puts in a full day just like everyone else. He answers emails, returns phone calls, and goes about the business of talking with promoters, participants, as well as fans. In the past few years, Greg has been the answer man at USAC. He always tells you the truth as he knows it, and will never lie to you. On occasion, when he can't divulge information, he will simply say, "I can't speak on that". I respect Greg for that. He is honest, forthright, and quite simply, a good man. He's one of those guys I would go to war with. If you gain his trust and respect, he'd do just about anything for you. He'd have your back, which is not something I can say about a lot of men in this world. He's done everything he can to help build up USAC. Greg has been a rock, and despite often having his hands tied, has created quite a schedule for all three National series the past few years. He has loved working for USAC. Having moved to Indianapolis from Cincy, he bought a house close to the USAC office just so he could devote as much time to the series as possible. Greg has been a huge asset to USAC. I wish he was staying on, because he has done a lot of very good things for the series.
He may not be the most articulate, politically correct person, or be the most proficient at clerical work, but his PASSION, zeal, and love for all things sprint car racing, and specifically, the United States Auto Club are arguably second to none. Greg has all my respect, and all my support. I am proud to call him friend.
Sincerely,
Dean Mills
