F1 driver Montoya to drive in NASCAR
I saw an interview with Montoya this weekend. He got tired of trying to remember which way to turn and trying to stay away from all those dangerous open wheels.Quote:

The Formula One star said he's looking for a more enjoyable atmosphere and a new racing challenge, and thinks he'll find it in NASCAR next year.
Must be big enough bling in Nascar to attract former F1 guys.
But going from the most technically advanced cars in the world to the "insert sponsor name here" Dodge just seems like a heck of jump!
Big discussion on Wind Tunnel was whether he was moving up or down as a driver; in other words, is it harder to race in the most sophisticated cars in the world or dumptrucks?
There was also some speculation that Montoya was tired of racing against the big red F
He hasn't really set the F1 world on fire, maybe he is looking for better job security.Quote:

Must be a trend going on ... they were saying this morning on the news that Danika Patrick was thinking about heading over to Nascar as well.
NASCAR has a big Diversity push going on. Maybe the France family has been doing some behind the scenes recruiting.

Wasn't it JPM that swapped race cars with Jeff Gordon a while back?
