RACER video: Behind USAC's Driven2SaveLives BC39 event
September's two-night USAC event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Brickyard 400 weekend is going to be a celebration of Bryan Clauson's career. RACER caught up with his father, Tim Clauson, to talk about the event in his son's honor and what Indy meant to the USAC star. Ricky Stenhouse, one of Clauson's best pals who was a short-track hero before moving to NASCAR, will be wheeling one of Clauson's cars in the Sept. 5-6 program along with USAC standout Justin Grant.
And Kokomo Speedway's Reece O'Connor will be preparing the quarter-mile track inside Turn 3 at IMS. And if Gabby Chaves, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti and James Hinchcliffe get the green light to do a hot-lap session, Grant promises to show Hinch the quick way around before covering him up in dirt.

Robin Miller flunked out of Ball State after two quarters, but got a job stooging for Jim Hurtubise at the 1968 Indianapolis 500 when Herk's was the last roadster to ever make the race. He got hired at The Indianapolis Star a month later and talked his way into the sports department, where he began covering USAC and IndyCar racing. He got fired at The Star for being anti-Tony George, but ESPN hired him to write and do RPM2Nite. Then he went to SPEED and worked on WIND TUNNEL and SPEED REPORT. He started at RACER when SPEED folded, and went on to write for RACER.com and RACER magazine while also working for NBCSN on IndyCar telecasts.
