A-HA!
Apparently Tim has only himself to blame for that whole "Minear, who's probably best known for his efforts on Buffy and the cult favorite Firefly..." thing.
Next, I vote Tim randomly starts attaching himself to other past projects. I fondly recall his work on Thirtysomething, Hill Street Blues and Cheers, as well. Yes I do.
That is hysterical, Monique.
I really need to buckle down and write my set report.
" The actors should know we were thinking of calling the show Firey Ball of Death."
I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked. Could there possibly be death, even violent and unexpected death, in a show about an illegal car race? Surely not. Surely there will only be pleasant pastoral scenes and pert, pretty people, and possibly the occasional landscape gone rogue?

I'm missing something. How is it Tim's fault that Joel Keller says that?
If you read through to the comments, P-C, you'll see where Joel says that Tim himself said so.
From the comments section:
Tim Minear never worked on Buffy. His other Joss Whedon show was Angel. It's a mistake that happens often.

Minear himself said he worked on "Buffy," so that's what I went with. Maybe it was in a capacity that doesn't make the list on IMDb.
- Joel Keller
Aha!
Clearly, he took the
X-Files
tagline "Believe the Lie" to heart.
if the race in the show is secret and illegal, how do people hear about it
I hope the author didn't ask this question. (I've heard of, say, the Gumball Rally.) Because with the dive in credibility caused by this question, the inability to spell fiery, and not having heard of
Heavenly Creatures
...I'm beginning to think Tim never wrote for Buffy.
