I'm guessing Mr Miller won't acknowledge or isnt even aware of all of the alumni, but plenty of open wheelers are in the Daytona 500:
Kahne
Gordon
Stewart
Newman
Edwards
Stenhouse
Klingerman
Bowman
Whitt
Wise
Mears
Larson

Allgaier of course also running in the Duels.

Is that the highest % of former midget guys in a major Nascar event?

I can guarantee this, it's a higher percentage then the Indy 500 has seen in at least 25 years.

Not midget racers, but don't forget: (above & beyound go-karts) Brian Scott, Ambrose, AJ Allmendinger & Danica Patrick...

It's hard not counting Annett & Menard too; for all their dad's did as car-owners in OW ranks too...



Did Mears run a sprint or midget???

And yet IndyCar scratches their head wondering why they can't come close to pulling the TV numbers, fans or sponsors NASCAR does.

I believe I saw Casey at Turkey Night in Irwindale in a midget a few years ago.

NASCAR is buying up all the real talent, and POOR old Indy is being bought out by all the MONEY. Go figure, why should I watch a race if I can't pronounce half of the drivers last name.

In Indy racing the slogan is {Talent walks and Money talks}

"THE GREAT AMERICAN RACE???"

Honest Dad himself

I suppose you are referring to Robin Miller, and not me.

Kevin Miller from USAC is who I assume he is referring to.

I forgot all about that Miller! I thought Robin would know what is going on!

Sorry Ron (and Robin). Of course I was not referring to you.

There's only one Miller I know that this info would be relevant to but has little to no interest. Perhaps if these were all off-road truck veterans, they would get a little PR from the club they graduated from.
