Thanks Bob.

He also said he LOVED it and didn't want to get out.

I couldn't beleive the news when I heard it yesterday morning either. I hope Juan does well, he's one of my favorite drivers. It's tough to see him leave F1. If anyone I thought that Jacques Villeneuve would be the first to possibly make the switch. He talked recently about possibly looking at Nascar if Sauber-BMW doesn't re-sign him. Who knows what's going to happen now, Red Bull was rumored to want Montoya, and even Williams had reportedly talked to him again.
In any case, I'll have to root for Tony Stewart & Juan on the Nascar circut now. Both of whom were successful in open wheel...

It's not an excuse, but Matt did the same thing to Gordon earlier this year.

JPM and Danica, wow Nascar is trying to bring them all in. I wish Nascar (and the IRL) had another road course or two. Maybe Larry H. Miller's track in SLC in the near future for Nascar??

Marketing is what NASCAR is all about anymore.They are going to the car of tomorrow that has all bodies fitting a common template, the only difference will be the headlight & grill decals. They already hand out what shocks you can use & that little import tuner wing will be handed out also.Next is common spec. motors.Sure starting to smell like IROC to me.I am done ranting my opinion.
Mike

I'm sure this will be a kick in the balls to F1 racing.

Not really. He was already second to Kimi Raikkonen in team Mclaren due to Raikkonen's superior on track performance. Rumor was that he was going to be replaced and would have had to move to a second order team anyway.

For the kind of money the top F1 guys get being first on your team is the only option. The salary of Michael Schumacher could cover all the team expenses for the year in T/F with money left over.

That's not really what I was getting at...more a kick in the balls to some of the egos overthere....F1 and some of there fans.

Some of this crossover stuff is interesting. I believe Tony Stewart has suggested that one leg of IROC should be in a winged sprint car on a dirt track. I'm for that. But I'd also like to see another leg of IROC take place on a drag strip. It would be fun to see those NASCAR and open wheel drivers behind the wheel of a dragster or pro stock car.

I'd sure like to see what Stewart suggested,also I'd like to see them in a champ car or a pavement sprint car.

isn't montoya in that new will ferro movie about nascar? check out the trailer for the movie caller talladega nights.

...it's about an F1 driver going to Nascar?

I wouldn't be surprised to see another F1 guy move to Nascar. I know many Nascar guys would love to try F1 too... Kurt Busch for one.

No one has said it yet, but what a blow to the IRL, and to Champ Car. A open wheel F1 guy jumping to NASCAR. Tony George and that other Guy Better get their heads out of the sand and get open wheel racing in the states unified.

As for Montoya, sucess in NASCAR will be hard to come by in my opinion.
