Clauson-Marshall's Indy 500 entry

Tim Clauson and Richard Marshall have one of the most successful teams in USAC midget and sprint racing, but they're heading for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this May. The Clauson-Marshall entry, to be driven by Pippa Mann and sponsored by the Indiana Donor's Network, will mark the first time in a couple of decades that a full-time USAC stalwart has branched out and tried the Indianapolis 500.

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.
