Villeneuve to drive for Braun at Brickyard 400
Congrats to Villeneuve and good luck. Only the second driver to run all three of Indy's big races(Indy 500, U.S. Gran Prix, B Yard 500.).(Juan Pablo the other). Anyone think he's got a shot at top 20 finish?

no, he will be lucky to Qualify, but we will see what happens. if Braun put down a good Q-setup, and they get an early draw, they might be fine

It doesn't matter, he won't qualify anyway. It would be nice to see how he'd do in good equipment.

Not so fast...he has to qualify and take the green flag first before he can join JPM.

JV made it!
43rd. He was on the bubble when JJ Yeley (last driver to qualify) went out and slapped the wall.

JV said in the NASCAR.com article he likes challenges. Coming from back there on a track that is a real nasty to place to pass will be interesting to see.
He has a good finish here, I think he just shows he is more than a one trick pony....

Just realized that there are three former Indy 500 winners (JV, JPM and Hornish Jr) in the Brickyard 400 field today - I don't think that has ever happened before.

He could have done much worse!

You're a 100% right. FIA should rattle the manufacturer's cage. Take the compromise or go. Rally 1s are dead in the water. If manufacturers don't agree, make Rally 2s as they are now the top category...
