Miller to host Wind Tunnel

Wind Tunnel original episode No. 435 will be highlighted by a couple of “firsts" for SPEED’s definitive motor sports talk show. SPEEDtv.com columnist and longtime motor sports journalist Robin Miller hosts the one-hour adventure as Dave Despain takes his last scheduled vacation of the year, and racing legend A.J. Foyt makes his first appearance ever on the long-running popular melting pot of news, rumors and discussion

“I am being allowed to host Wind Tunnel on Sunday night (9 p.m. ET) for the first time without Despain or any other parental supervision," Miller said.

Expect the unexpected when Miller and Foyt get together early in the show.

“The first segment will be dedicated to the first four-time Indy 500 winner and I intend to ask him:

§ Why he and George Bignotti could win but couldn't get along?

§ How brave you had to be in the '60s?

§ Why he didn't have any drivers as close friends?

§ Whether it worse being stung by bees or burned at Milwaukee?

§ Why today's momma's boys couldn't cut it in the old days?

§ … and whether he enjoyed smacking me as much as he did Arie Luyendyk?"

Miller’s other guest will be former motorcycle flat track champion Gene Romero, a 1998 inductee in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Romero, one of the stars of the 1971 cult classic motorcycle documentary On Any Sunday, now promotes dirt track events around the country.
