To the openwheel stars that feel NASCAR isn't for them ...

Dont base what this clown says as how all OW drivers feel about NASCAR.
As for JV finishing in 21, I think thats pretty respectable for his first outing, especially since he actually finished the race!
JV did just fine for a guy at his first crack at CTS. He made a few mistakes, but JV never made the same mistakes twice in OW racing, so I don't think he is about to start now. He put the car 7th on the grid.....so we know he can get one fast lap in. All he has to do is learn the feel and how to tell the Crew Chief how to make the car better as the race goes on. That is something you get from a lot of time in the car, so he will learn it.
As for Schuy's comment, he is just ticked no NASCAR owner is kissing his tush to get him to try a NASCAR. He is a petulant little twerp with a lot of talent but no PR or social skills. Phoney as a 3 dollar bill and the reason he said what he said is because he is dismissive of the whole concept of racing on ovals. This attitude is fine, as Stan says, he likely wouldn't enjoy it because in NASCAR, you are expected to get results or at least look good trying. Schuy is used to playing f1 politics and sandbagging any teammate who might get attention. That wont fly over here...and he knows it.
Oh I know, which is why I said "I only know of one"Quote:

Maybe another open wheeler pilot heading to Nascar down the track a little.Champ Car driver Will Power is said to be getting groomed for Nascar? Anyone heard this?
I did a post in the Champcar section about it.Quote:

No..far from it. Not many NASCAR Drivers go back to their roots to race up and comers. Tony Stewart does ,so does Michael Schumacher, who races up and coming kart drivers regularly. As well Michael supports and has given 30 million dollars of his own money to Children's charities. He is not interested in NASCAR, neither are other European drivers, oval racing to them and the European public at large is a non-event.Quote:
