Thinking more about this, I think Robin Miller and everyone that's jumped on his bandwagon has it wrong. The guy has been racing for 9 years now. He started in the smaller formulae and ran two years in the IPS. Last year, he finished 2nd in that championship. So, the guy's not a slouch, he has plenty of oval experience, and IPS cars have a good amount of HP. Around 450, I believe. Hell, Formula Atlantics only had 245 HP and that's the feeder for CART.

I believe he was just happy as hell to be back in a car on track with his peers after the accident last May. He was over-exhuberant and blew it. The ride-buying thing is an issue for sure, for guys like Dennis Vitolo and some of the other $hit-for-brains that we've seen on the track. Even Hiro Matsu****a was running CART for years and running dead last just because he was in the Panasonic money. I don't think it applies in this case, however. I think Dana was qualified... he just made a small error in judgement and paid the price.
