Check out what questions RPM.ESPN.com users had for Robin Miller -- and Robin's answers:

Robin Miller: Infiniti is out and Cheever has already talked to Honda, although according to Autosport it didn't go real well. Looks like Toyota or General Motors. But he may not even have a team if Red Bull bails. Tomas Scheckter is being pursued by at least two CART teams and he says he wants to go back to Formula One so he needs to road race, it would appear. Lots of question marks for that team.

Robin Miller: The last 30 laps were exciting, until Scheckter checked out, but it was good racing for 2-8. There were 26 lead changes, nowhere near CART's 63 and 60 lead changes and, overall, it wasn't as good for two hours as CART had been for three hours. But still a helluva lot better than any NASCAR show at MIS. And IRL was smart enough to bring out 25 cars. CART will need to activate several cars for Fontana because 18 won't be enough.

Robin Miller: Well, people must still think he's driving for Ganassi because he's had a Target on his back all season. He's been crashed three times at the start, none his fault, while Jourdain got off to a good start but has flat-lined lately.

Robin Miller: The pace car always picks up the leader (or is supposed to) and Tomas was almost a full lap behind but in front of the leader at that time so he and three other cars were waved around. Sarah looked like a racer again, thanks to confidence, her Infiniti engine and her crew. She got shuffled back in the end but she's only 21 and she's learning.

Robin Miller: I think the IRL will run Watkins Glen and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2003. Yep, as a prelim to the USGP.

Robin Miller: The crowd was dismal, maybe 25,000 to 30,000, and the sad thing is that tickets were half as much as ISC charged for CART the year before and children under 12 were admitted FREE! It was just a few years ago that the Michigan 500 drew 75,000, how sad. As for Cleveland, yes, the stands were full but there were only 25,000-28,000 people in attendance -- a lot of the bleachers have been removed. Kind of like the IRL show at Orlando year after year.

Robin Miller: Very good question and very good suggestion. I believe a couple of owners have put that one to Mr. Pook lately. Just remember, if you have a big crash at Elkhart Lake or Fontana on the first lap, and only 18 starters, we're talking disaster.

Robin Miller: Other than Airton Dare's drive at Homestead and win at K.C., Foyt's team has been nowhere all season. This team is spread way too thin in running three cars, but A.J. needs Eliseo Salazar's money. Ray threw a tantrum after qualifying last weekend, but I don't see things getting any better for this group. Especially when Toyota and Honda start kicking butt.

Robin Miller: Had CART simply stuck with its original plan (turbos thru 2003) it would have never lost Honda or Ford. I guess the thinking is that with Cosworth turbos maybe Ford can be lured back in to be a marketing partner, although it's been awfully quiet in Detroit for the past couple months. Bottom line, Honda and Toyota weren't going to spend a penny in CART and there were going to charge everybody for engines ($2-2.8 million per lease) and MG wasn't going to do anything for CART in terms of status so they went with a proven commodity.

Robin Miller: Is this the legendary Hank Ives of newspaper/promoter/public relations/golf/hockey/pro football/motorcycles/off-road/Long Beach GP/all around fame? Hank, I think Mikey will run two or three cars in the IRL with Honda power and money. Don't know about KOOL, maybe just Indy with 7-11 as a partner or maybe IRL and Indy, but likely not CART. I hear Barry Green might be trying to salvage a one-car CART effort for Dario Franchitti, but it's a longshot. Tracy has signed with Player's for next year. Nice to hear from you, hope everything is going well and you're giving Shav enough shots.

Robin Miller: To quote the Monty Python line in the Holy Grail: "I ain't dead yet." But CART certainly is on life support, especially losing three Team Green cars to the IRL. I think CART is trying to partner with ALMS for some doubleheaders next year and that would be a good Saturday/Sunday program for Long Beach. Not sure Bernie Ecclestone won't be trying to get back there, too. But CART must have 18-20 cars to keep its professionalism and the fans' attention. Is that number feasible? It's going to be challenging to say the least.

Robin Miller: I think most of the regular motorsports media understands that CART's strength is its street and road races (although Fontana usually draws 60,000-plus) and that ovals have been going downhill since the split. The IRL gets good crowds at Texas, K.C. and Chicago thanks to the ticket package but it's always been so obvious that every time the IRL takes over a CART venue (Loudon, N.H., Phoenix, Michigan, Fontana) it's a disaster. Loudon complained about 50,000 in 1995 but the IRL didn't draw that total and multiplied by five in its three years there. Ditto for Phoenix. There were 64,000 people at the last CART race there in 1995 and it's been a ghost town ever since. Last weekend the tickets were half as much as ISC charged for the CART 500-miler a year before and kids under 12 were admitted free but the crowd was poor.

Robin Miller: Thanks for the kind words, I'll give this to my mom because she thinks everyone hates me. Gerry Forsythe has been working on a Chicago street race (down by the lake) for several years but, as you can imagine, it's a very politically-driven situation and tough sledding. There is talk of running MIGS Field next year and that would be a start but it looks awfully small for Champ cars. Chicago is important to CART but it's better off passing for a year rather than going back to that awful paper clip circuit in Cicero. Gary is developing a housing unit on his own property with his own bulldozer. No word on whether he bothered to get any permits. But I'd love to watch him on that dozer.

Robin Miller: Like Memo Gidley, Buddy Rice, Tony Renna, Alex Barron and Richie Hearn (see a trend here?), Max has to go where the opportunity is and I heard he was going to be in a Red Bull car last week. He's a road racer, but he's also a realist so maybe he'll end up on one of the CART teams in the IRL.

Robin Miller: This decision is driven by money (Honda) not necessarily any great desire on Michael's part to go to the IRL. But he's not going to run 16 races, he might do an Indy tune up and then run Indianapolis. Honda needs proven drivers and I know they're trying to woo Franchitti with big bucks. Again, with the shaky state of open wheel, drivers have to go where there's opportunity and teams like Fernandez, Nunn, Andretti/Green are being pursued heavily by Honda. Barry Green isn't lying when he says he wants to remain loyal to CART but he won't be around anymore. He'll be on the golf course and his boat. Money wins out over loyalty many times in auto racing.

Robin Miller: He's testing for John Menard this week at Kentucky (along with Townsend Bell), but all he's done this year is wear out shoes and drive his shifter karts to stay sharp. If I hit the Indiana Power Ball, he will have a ride, trust me.

Robin Miller: How is your new baby? Is that scum bag boyfriend of yours helping with child support? Sorry, I got confused. Davey is always in good spirits when I see him, but I haven't seen him in a month or so. He says he still wants to race but all his family and friends are hoping nobody puts him in a car. He's been through enough. But his recovery is going to be long.
