Breakout week for Montoya?

[RaceFanStan]

although it may be somewhat questionable to call Scott Pruett full time.

Yeah, I blew it on that one, I saw #41, thought Reed Sorenson & didn't look close enough, good eye !
So that would be 10 full-time Cup drivers instead of 11 that I originally said.

I would also hesitate to call Kluever a full timer also.

Kluever is a full-time contract Roush driver.
He drives whatever Jack will put him in.

I'm a bit groggy, mind isn't sharp, lack of sleep does that.

[call_me_andrew]

Is he running that race? I didn't know if he was...

He's running every Busch race (which I find to be assinine).

Interesting article on the Cal/Mex/LV logistics, and why it's not really a surprise the grids are just a little light for these races.

That's the second time you've mentioned sleep. Whatcha been doin' Stan? taying in trouble?

[jslone]

Are we gonna have this discussion everytime the Busch series goes to a raod course?Hes a very very good driver,but he does not have the seat time in a Nascar type of car on a road course.PLus he also has to have a very good car set up from the Chip Ganassi team and great pit stops.If he wins this race,I dont think it will be a breakout week or whatever.

I remember reading that Montoya has already tested on road courses, so he has already felt what the cars handle like on the race tracks, it all depends on who punts him off the track as to how he will end up in the race, i have read that some of the drivers don't like to turn left & right. If everything goes his wayhe could end up with a top10, much the same as Marcos, these 2 should have some fun out there. It should also be great for road race fans to see the antics that go on in these races!

No, my daughter married an evil man Wednesday & it broke my heart that she is so stupid.
Wednesday night I couldn't stop thinking about it, sleep was only minutes at a time.
I was so distraught that I couldn't relax.

Now, back on topic, all you JPM fans, believe what you want.
However you shouldn't look for JPM in victory lane @ Mexico.

JPM will do good. As someone else said, a top 10 finish is for the taking.

JPM ain't stupid, he's got tonnes of racing experience. He just needs to understand the dynamics of a stock car, how to get the best out of the car getting in and out of corners.

All the wildcard road racers like Adrian Fernandez, Scott Pruett and Boris Said have done well in the past by jumping straight into stock cars
