SI: You finished four spots ahead of William Shatner (17th). Congrats. What was your most memorable driving moment during the race?

Miller: I got to pass Roger Cross of 24 on the first turn so I felt like I accomplished something. The only downside was that we didn't finish the whole 10 laps.

SI: You turned 29 on March 10. How worried are you about the next birthday?

Miller: Sometimes I get that sudden panic attack [about turning 30] because I still feel like I'm 22. In rationalizing it, I figure it's better to feel 22 and be 30 than the other way around.

SI: After all the years of practice and competition, how has your body held up?

Miller: Everyone asks me that, and I feel great. I feel better than I've ever felt. I still work out to stay in shape and I still do gymnastics from time to time in different shows.

SI: You're hosting a new weekly gymnastics show to air on CN8, the Comcast Network. What should people expect from your show?

Miller: The Number 1 thing that I want to bring to people is more gymnastics on television. There's not a whole lot of events out there on television, especially in the years between Olympic Games. When you tune into the show you will get a huge variety of gymnastics. We'll cover men's and women's, NCAA gymnastics, elite gymnastics, junior Olympic gymnastics and interviews with coaches and athletes. There's also tips. At this point it's critical to tell people and let them know and understand about our new scoring system. We no longer have a 10.0. I do the tips segment, hosting, commentate for competition.

SI: Will the public grasp the new scoring system?

Miller: You hate to see the 10.0 go away because it was such a staple of our sport. But I think the public will be able to grasp it pretty easily. Once you get used to it, it's actually easier than the 10.0 system. The new scoring system breaks it down so you have a certain score for difficulty and execution and then you add them together. It's a lot easier to see where the judges were taking the deductions and I think that's what is going to be good about it.

SI: Is there pressure to take any kind of performance-enhancing drugs in gymnastics?

Miller: The sport has been really clean and it lends itself to that. Gymnastics is the type of sport where you can't take something that gives you more energy. Something may be great for the vault, but then you have the bars after it and you have to be more sedate for that. But you can't take anything that's going to make you calmer because then you have to go to floor next and be more powerful. The sport is so different that I don't think there is anything out there that you could take to help you.

SI: You're being inducted into International Gymnastics Hall of Fame soon, and you're a member of eight or nine Halls. Is there one Hall you really wanted to get into?

Miller: I was just inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in December, and that was like the top of the top. That was incredible for me.

SI: Who is the most interesting person in sports you've ever met?

Miller: Charles Barkley. I used to watch him with my dad growing up. It was funny because he would be all mean out there and my dad would say, That's just his on-court persona. Then I met him and he was a big teddy bear.

SI: You can do any other sport for a day. What do you do?

Miller: I would love to be an aerialist but I don't have the guts for it. It scares me to death so I would love to try it. But just watching it and how high they go, the twisting and flipping of course fascinates me.

SI: Give us an early line on Beijing for women's gymnastics.

Miller: It's so difficult to tell because things change so drastically -- especially with 2½ years until the Olympic Games. We typically don't choose our athletes until about a month prior to the Games because anything can happen. As far as the U.S. there are a couple of girls I would feel comfortable naming. Nastia Liukin, if she stays healthy, she's on top right now. Chellsie Memmel is a fantastic athlete. And I just saw a new junior compete at an international level a couple of weekends ago, Shayla Worley. She's an extremely beautiful gymnast and the more experience she gains she could be there as well.
