Damned if you do, damned if you don't! Miller puts a lot of work into his promotion and he is the one who has to pay the bills whether or not they are able to run the program or not so even if the fan wants to see this race he is taking all the risks and we should thank him for trying to bring USAC back to the East and not condemn him for making a business decision.

Took heat for trying to run a show with a bad forecast? No, if I remember, he took heat because the show wasn't as crisply run as it should have been with a bad forecast around. Then he kept the front and back gate money last year with the promise to run double features this year, and he cancels 6 hours early because of a bad forecast (which isn't really a bad forecast).
