Finally in Segment Four we continue our conversation with Mark Miller who talks about the book he's written about his involvement with Dakar and we get very candid comments from Miller on the effort American Robby Gordon is making at Dakar. Gordon has tried for several years to not only finish the event but get a stage win or overall podium finish. That effort has proven difficult. Miller talks about why that is. This is an exclusive THS Breakout interview on the world's only weekly topical webcast on sports car racing, rallying, drifting and time attack. TRT: 12:52

Right there with you Chris.

with a straight face Miller said RG isn't a top driver? sounds like miller is spending too much time on the dash between the color of his sky and the color of his neck...

So simply by the facts below MM's statement is not complete.
It should also say But even though Robby Gordon is not a top driver by my "MM"s" standards he is 10 times the driver I Mark Miller Ever Was Or Ever Will Be!!

This is what I found when I googled wikpedia

if you read both links you will find 2 noticeable differences, 1: MM doesn't have much of a page, 2: MM doesn't have a section of "SIGNIFICANT VICTOREIS"

That does not even include his 24 Hours of Daytona class wins, Sports car wins and Micky Thompson victories

Yeah but gee, Mark wrote a book ...about himself........'cause no one else showed "significant" interest...........

Or his 2012 BITD Championship.

Mark might have 'published' a book, but Robby also has 3 DVD's

You forgot his Nationwide victory in Montreal

Wow. It sounds more like Mark got dumped by Robby. He sounds more like a pissed girlfriend than a fellow competitor.
What a no class way to represent the sport.

gotta pay to race :)

I don't believe Miller has any sponsors who can foot the bill for Dakar

Sad for Mark, he wrote a book and no one wants to read it, they just want to talk about Robby Gordon.
