Juan Pablo Montoya to race in NASCAR Nextel Cup 2006 July 9
Wow! This was not anything I would have expected. I am watching a press conference right now with Jaun Pablo Montoya and Chip Ganassi. Montoya will be leaving F-1 to race NASCAR Nextel Cup. Montoya, IMO, is one of the top F-1 drivers, so it will be interesting to see how a top F-1 driver makes the transition to the [comparably] under-powered and over-weight taxi cab-looking cars of NASCAR.
