Kalvin, I am not doubting Mr.Miller's ability to take a talented youngster from the lesser ranks and fast-track him up the ladder to the NHRA. But open wheel fans don't actually want to see their drivers compete in USAC as a stepping stone to an ARCA car or a truck ride. There was a time when USAC was a destination and not a rest stop.
I expect that the marketing acumen that Mr.Miller possesses will serve him well, and possibly serve USAC well, also. But what I tried to express is that, in USAC, he is not entering a company or division with a blank canvas of endless possibilities; rather, he has acquired control and decision-making responsibilities on a canvas that many would contend has been smeared with excrement and left to mold in a cellar. Underneath the patina there was once an artwork, but it's going to take some kind of amazing restoration to make the memory of the scent go away from people's recollection.
Many simply don't want to look at it again because they recall that smell.
