I could crack a beer and listen to that guy talk honest racing for hours. Any form of car or series. He knew everyone and everything. Tough loss for the racing community. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I just finished reading the tribute thread about him on the INDYCAR forum I lurk on. Reading his coverage of racing has been a big part of my life. I’ll miss his take on all things racing. Tough stretch recently for INDYCAR media losing Robin and Bob Jenkins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthomas Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 There is a great two part interview with Miller at https://doctorindy.com/audio-downloads/. He has been around so long that he feels like family and it feels as bad to lose him. The interview covers racing, his time at the Indystar covering the local sports teams, as well as stories about Slick Leonard and Bob Knight. If you remember any of the old Indianapolis Star / News reporters you'll probably enjoy the interview. If you only knew of Robin from racing, you'll be surprised by the number of local sports people who were in his circle. I knew this was coming, but it hurts just the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckerkorn Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Robin was good friends with Joe Brunk (Joey's dad), before he died. He had great stories about travelling with the Pacers as a young pup, to things George McGinnis did as a HS football player, to all his connections in open wheel racing. There haven't been many like him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the story of when Robin was young and a Pacer's wife and girlfriend were both at the airport to greet them and Robin jumped on the grenade and took the girlfriend back to a hotel so her and the player cold meet up later. Guess that happened more than once 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
